Day 7: We are such gangsters.

Another great day in South Africa. After going our separate ways and doing our typical different ministries today, we met up this evening and gave a rousing performance. We've been working on a hip-hop performance since before we left (choreographed by our wonderful Jessica) and finally had a chance to show it off to the kids. They loved it.

Here's a photo of us straight thuggin' it:


Here is a short blurb from tonight's guest blogger, Lailanie:

"Tonight at dinner I was sat with the 6th grade girls, who have only been at Bridges Academy for 4 months. Sitting across from Noluthando, I asked if she liked coming to school here. She answered with a smile, "Yes!" "Why?" I asked. She goes on to say, "It's safe here. There are no men who are walking around who are rapists, who rape people.You hear and see bad things all the time." I couldn't believe that this was everyday life for her back at the township where she is from. Though my heart sank in disbelief and anger at the everyday injustices happening there, I was also so thankful for Bridges Academy, a place where these orphans have a chance at life- a chance for a quality education, a future, and to know the love and hope of Jesus Christ. What an amazing opportunity, privilege and blessing to be part of your work here Lord."

Please pray for our work here at Bridges tomorrow, as we will be producing an entire church service. Pray over Michael, who will be our speaker and for all the students to feel God's healing and transforming love.

Love!
