More life

“I have learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them fell” by Maya Angelou


At the bible study things have changed from better to greater, at the beginning it was a bible study but now it has become a family bible study. It is easy in life to be involved in something but sometimes it is hard to be part of something. The youth in the bible study feel they are part of the youth family. God has been moving mountains in the youth’s lives. Everyone gets a chance to lead. It has been great to see God speak through me to change the youth lives.  There was a time where I was accused of dating a girl at the church, it was sad to see all the youth in the bible study angry about what I was accused of. At the same time knowing that, I am not alone in the battlefield.



One of the boys Witness came to me one day and asked me if I can meet with his friends to tell them more about Jesus because I talk too much sometimes.  I just told him I can’t do, not because I don’t have the strengths to do, but if you read my mission statement it says encouraging, connecting, and supporting. I challenged him to speak to his friends because he can also do it. Once you receive Jesus, you have a testimony. 
 We cannot understand the poor until we stand under the poor and live among them. I grew up living a hard life and learned a good lesson not to depend on people because you might be disappointed.

In the community, kids run to me when they see me, so when people support me. They do not merely support me to have food in my stomach but to have the energy to hug, pick, speak, teach, encourage and share the Love of God with them
Part of my job is ground maintenance, in that I committed myself to work with the workers three days a week.  My friends asked me, why you are working so hard knowing that you are not going to be paid. For me I do not work for money, what I saw in the workers is an opportunity to share the Gospel.  We pray before we work, and during working, we talk about Jesus most of the time.

We need each other...
                                                                                                       ...Without Nutrients and proper clothing
                                                            ...Without Family and Education
      ...Without Toys and a play ground
..Without Comfort and Hope
...With no support there wont be any smiles

This month we completed another house for five boys and one girl in the Mbonisweni community, we had a celebration of presenting the house to the boys with a new name of the house “Sivikelekile” which mean sanctuary.
However, for fun, we had a soccer game TTH against the boys from the church. It was a good way to connect with the boys outside of church.  We let anyone to play boys and girls.
Last Sunday I finally went to the doctor to see how much it will cost me to be check of my health because the pain under my heart has been killing me this days is getting worse every time. I was told is serious but they could tell me what it was because I didn’t have the money. However, they will do the following, check my kidneys, heart lungs, blood test, and they mentioned something, which I don’t know the name of it. Overall, I need $300
On this coming Monday I will be going to Swaziland Keri and I we will be leading a team for a week.

Prayer request: 1 for God's provision in finace to see the Docter
                             2 For wisdom and guidence on how to lead the bible study for the youth
