This mother asked for prayer for herself and her son. She has HIV/AIDS.
Africa Foot ball
Bela Bela kids playing soccer with Chris and Blane. The trashcan is the goal.
Jonathan preaching at the Olverton church with Pastor Paul's help!
Pastor Paul Ngobene leads the small but joyful congregation in Olverton. This was a return visit for Jonathan to Olverton and it was good to see God's work proceeding.
Chris shares the gospel in Bela Bela
Chris Hurt, youth minister at First Frisco is witnessing to this man in Bela Bela. The man accepted Christ.
He is playing with a homemade car.
The kids at VingerKraal don't have much so they make their toys out of what's available. We saw them flying kites made from trash and rolling tires, too.
Boots' bubbles blow over boisterous boys.
Boots Brizendine from First, Florence brought some huge bubble wands for soap bubbles and they were a hit! The VingerKraal kids would laugh and chase them as long as she would keep waving the wand.
Blaine and Emily praying with a family.
Blaine and Emily Jo came from FBC Frisco have shared their witness with this lady and are praying for her family, for healing and for jobs for the men. You can see their testimony tracts, which will continue to work long after the Americans have gone.
Pam is sharing the gospel in Bela Bela
Pam came from FBC Florence and enjoyed witnessing to and praying with the Africans very much. Rowdy (in the background) was with the FBC Frisco bunch and took alot of pictures, some of which I'm using here! Thanks, Rowdy!
Here's the whole team
This was taken Sunday morning outside of Warmbaths Baptist Church after the service. Jonathan taught the SS hour, Chris taught the young people in SS and Troy preached.
Visiting the Ngobi Health Clinic
Todd from FBC Florence meets some Africans who are at the government health clinic in Ngobi. Clinics like these are helping to fight the HIV/AIDS infection rates among newborns.
Troy preaches at the clinic
We sang for them, they sang for us, and Troy preached. Can't get away with that in America....
Beautiful feet bringing the gospel in Bela Bela
Afternoon in Bela Bela, going house to house. It's easy to visit lots of folk quickly in SA. 90% unemployment means lots of folks are home during the day.
Two girls in the game circle at VingerKraal
The children are always eager to play. Aren't these two young ladies pretty? They are native Namibians living in SA in a village with an HIV infection rate over 50%. One of these two probably has HIV already. They need to hear the gospel quickly!
Our interpreter in VingerKraal
This young lady was good with English. She is college-educated, but unemployed. But, happy to help us walk around her village telling people of Jesus and praying for their health. What a blessing it is to meet Christians in other parts of the world who serve the Lord with a smile in desperate places.
Inside one of the houses
I'm asking what they need me to pray about. She has HIV/AIDS, they tell me. Pretty common deal there.
