Meeting Physical & Spiritual Hunger
As the U.S. celebrated Labor Day, ending summer and moving into fall, South Africa celebrated the arrival of Spring! :) The weather is finally warming up; last week we hosted a Spring Braai (aka barbecue) for families and youth. As the kitchen intern my primary responsibility was helping with lunch/food details. We planned to cater for 200 people but praise the Lord we had over 250 people come and still enough food to feed everyone.
The weather was perfect allowing for great conversations, games, sports, and crafts. Everyone enjoyed and left encouraged, but most importantly the gospel message was shared and seeds planted in people's hearts.

Two girls in my weekly ministry at Zandspruit on Thursday afternoons have been visibly growing in their knowledge of God. They asked for Bibles about two months ago but for various reasons I was unable to give them each a Bible until this week. They kept asking and reminding me, revealing their sincere hunger for the Word of God. It was a privilege to hand them their Bibles and see the joy and appreciation on their faces. I know those Bibles will be read and make an impact in their lives and prayerfully in the lives of their families as well. Pray for wisdom as I interact with them, answering their questions, and pointing them to the One, True God who alone can draw them to Himself.
