Wedding Reception meets Church {Sunday, April 5}

This morning we went to Pastor Welcome’s church, called Power of God. They meet in a nearby Creche (African pre-school) classroom. Welcome and a few others are from Durban, so the church was much more contemporary than the Black Dutch Reform churches we typically attend. As we sang worship the two women up front led us in something all too similar to the electric slide. As Vanessa put it, the entire experience could be described as wedding reception meets church. I think I made God smile a few times this morning watching my Zulu electric slide.

Today was our last day with the kids. It was sad leaving, as a lot of them wanted us to promise we would come back. Please pray for Kwanele, the little boy with AIDS. Pray for the Mamas, that they would have energy to continually pour into these children and teenagers. Pray for Thanda as she is preparing for her wedding on April 25th. Pray that Agathos will continue to raise up Christian leaders in this community.
