The new year 20111

This year God has showed me lot of things and done so much again for me
Since i came back from an amazing trip from Canada, where i was blesses in many ways.  On my way home i was in pain the whole trip from Canada to South Africa, i am struggling with pain under my heart. I called the doctor’s and i was told that it is serious i need to see three different doctors. So far i haven’t went yet due to lack of finance. I spend my first week with my brothers and friends. I was surprised about my brother how proud they are about me and now they are so supportive with lots of encouragement. Looking back they use to oppose what i was doing but through prayer and not giving up on what i am doing i see a different in my brother’s life. I bought the Canadians T-Shirts  
 I had a get together with all the youth leaders that i use to lead back in those days at Masoyi, most of them they have not seen each other for a long time. They were glad that i connected them together. I had a time to talk about my saviour Jesus.  I always get excited when things like this happen because it reminds me about my mission statement. 
We kicked off at work with sometime of dreaming as a team, talking more about discipleship, what it mean and on how can we bring discipleship into our feeding program in the community . i was challenged in many ways on how can i give more to the kids that i serve.  One example we came up with was to do home visit to the kid’s houses. I do believe that there is something will come out of that, we will be building relationships with the kids and the entire family. Moreover, i see lots of growth in Ten Thousand Homes staff on how we work very well as a team. I love what i am doing with TTH.
As i am part of the Evangelical Reformed Church, I am working on building a team that will bring transformation in the youth in the church. Few people are helping to do this, as I hate to work alone.
This year i did took my driving lesson and praise God i got my driving learners. I do believe that one day it will be helpful in TTH as we also work with teams.  Thanks also to Keri Dodge who devoted her time to teach me how to drive

Prayer requests
Ø  For wisdom and discernment on how to disciple the youth in the community
Ø  For healing from the pain i am struggling with
Ø  For Gods provision to finish my driving test before my learner expired
