So within the first week we have already been able to experience so much! Last weekend we went to my first black African church, and it was amazing! The worship was absolutely amazing, service was four hours long, and we were at the church for about eight hours. We went and helped set up, and sweep the floors put out plastic chairs in this little brick building in the middle of a township. African time is very different from north American time, and the church that my team attends is led by the spirit during every service so time is never really an issue anyway, which is why our sundays all we can possiblely do is go to church.
We have gotten the oppurtunity to visit many townships (which we would call slums) in the area and just get to know the people, the place, get a feel for how we can minister to them. Getting to know the area includes riding the trains, catching african taxi's, and finding our way through neighborhoods without any street signs. God is so good in all the things that he has provided for us from divine appointments to a free chocolate bar.
God is moving in great ways in my team we just had an amazing time just praying, talking, and really just being open with one another which has really brought us together. God knew just what he was doing when he placed me in the South Africa-Zambia team, everyday I love God more so I can love my team even more!!
Thank you to everyone who has been praying for me, I couldn't be here without all of your support :)
