In addition, we have been working on our soccer skills (thanks to our great coach and team member Mitch) and learning some dance moves for a talent show with the students we will be working with as we're there. (Props to Jessica for choreographing and demonstrating boundless amounts of patience as we learn.)
Here is a video of our "mad skillz."
In our past training we had a guest speaker impart a ton of information about HIV/AIDs upon us, and gave us time to have a little Q&A, which was awesome. Knowledge is power, right?
As we're preparing to head out and GO, please keep us in your prayers. Several of our teammates are beginning to feel the sting of the enemy's attack (as we know, doing God's work is like putting a huge target for attack on your back.) So please be praying for safety and protection. Furthermore, that His hand would be upon us each and that we would hear His voice much louder than that of the enemy.
Our fundraising is doing great, but some folks could still use support, so please also be in prayer for that.
And lastly, be in prayer for those who will be impacted by our visit in South Africa. Be praying for our partners, Bridges of Hope. Here are some ways that they've listed in their email bulletin that they could use your prayer:
"Please pray for Susan Wadley while she is in South Africa meeting with staff, board, leaders and as she hosts the team from Mountain Life Church from Park City, Utah.
Pray for the team as they adjust to the 9 hour time change, prepare for the Orphan Retreat and catch a vision for all that God is doing through the ministry of Bridges of Hope there.
Pray that God will clearly guide Mountain Life Church as they seek to partner with Bridges in a significant way in the coming years.
Please pray for the health and safety of our ministry team and friends in Philippi, Lower Crossroads, Sweet Home, Samora, Franschhoek and Swaziland."
Thanks!
