The media and people say this was a month of love, which I do believe that every month is a month of love because God is love.
At the church, where I am helping the youth coming with ideas on how to bring transformation into the youth’s life. We selected eight people who are committed to help their community people, dreaming together and sharing life together. We have a bible study every Friday and a youth service on Sundays. The first week of the month, I lead a discussion about Love, what is Love? The purpose is to preach the Gospel through discussion with the youth. Because people find love in different places, there is one love that will satisfy people, which is the Love of God. The second week we spoke about relationships, we talk about romantic relationships and to let people know that God is a God of relationship, so far the youth service it has been great. The attendee is growing rapidly every week; other thing is we are empowering young women to take a lead in the church and to use the gift that God gave them.
The other thing that I am also helping with is I choose a group of little kids at the feeding that I spend time with them excising, playing games and telling stories at the end there are 27 kids that are in my group. I want the kids to grow know about the Love of my father Jesus, if i don’t teach them who will?
Growing up I used to fear snaked with all my heart, but since God call me to live at the TTH property I gain courage-killing snakes. One night Micheal saw a snake, he called me I went out I didn’t know where there snakes was, few minutes latter it came towards me, I took a mop and trapped it, Micheal threw a brink on it and cut its head off. The snake just finished to swallow something. I was curious what was in the stomach I cut the snake stomach and a dead frog came out.
In the community, Mbonisweni I am working with one of my roommate’ nephew Mzwadile. He is a leader in his community well respected young man, I felt to spend one night at his house, and with no expectation he open up and said “Stanley we are doing good things, but what I am doing I don’t know much I need your help in leadership development”. When someone tells me something like this, it excites me because I was praying to whom I could invest. I don’t know much about leadership but I will give what I know, learn and experience. Jesus fully invested to his disciples before he died.
Kids where created to be loved; my Love for kids has grown in an amazing way.

Let them feel loved
I am blessed to have a friend whom I can share life with and work with. Keri is one of TTH staff who taught me how to drive, we went to Kruger one weekend and she let me drove for almost 2 hours. She is a blessing to many and a sister to many.
This month I took the step of faith on being part of the point ministry leader for an Orlando team. I never done it before but God has been growing a lot in leadership. On how to work as a team, I am doing this with John and Lennon, Carla she is use to be one who does the ministry leadership for teams. Now she took a rest, I like the way we work.
One week I took the team for prayer walk in the community called Dwaleni. I was with four of the Orlando members. We went to four housed the last house the four guys were passing the house, and I heard a loud noise in the house as I was passing the gate, I pause and listen again. The sound was like someone calling my name; I told the guys that we should go in the house. I meet a young boy at the age of 19 his name is Mduduzi, we spend time with him telling him about Jesus. For almost half an hour talking about the saviour, after spending a good quality time with him he gave his life to Christ. That was my biggest highlight of the week.
For the first time to be in Cape Town one of my Asian brothers was getting married, David Song there is something beautiful about friendship. The love that goes beyond our imaginations, I met Song in 2006 but there way we love each other hasn’t changed. He led me to God’s way, he is a brother and a friend to me someone who encourage me in many ways in life. He helped to think out of the box and to be more relational.
Aleen and I we went to the Robben Island were the South African Legend was kept for many years Nelson Mandela. In addition, we went to see God’s beauty on top of the Table Mountain it has the most amazing view in Cape Town.
If feel this as people say it was a month of Love God was showing how much he loves me and to see what He said come true “I will take you to different places”
Walking toward the storm than running away from it
Having Aleen and Keri in Cape Town and at the YWAM base was a huge blessing in my life, we done so many good things together. We went where Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean meet, also to the camp bay beach were we were attack by a strong wind.
