South Africa Movie Night!

It's that time again....South Africa Ministry monthly gathering is taking place on Thursday, June 9th in the "Living Room" (a.k.a. the High School room) at the 3080 Airway Building. Join us at 7pm as we gather to watch the movie "Skin". We're really excited to be able to watch this film together, learn more about the country of South Africa, and just fellowship. Please feel free to invite anyone (the film is rated PG-13 so keep that in mind when inviting younger guests). Hope to see you there!
Here is a synopsis of the film...
SKIN is one of the most moving stories to emerge from apartheid South Africa: Sandra Laing is a black child born in the 1950s to white Afrikaners, unaware of their black ancestry. Her parents are rural shopkeepers serving the local black community, who lovingly bring her up as their ‘white’ little girl. But at the age of ten, Sandra is driven out of white society. The film follows Sandra’s thirty-year journey from rejection to acceptance, betrayal to reconciliation, as she struggles to define her place in a changing world - and triumphs against all odds.

Training # 3

Meghan here!

The August 2011 South Africa team is in the midst of training and unifying together!
We just had an awesome 3rd training where we learned and gained a lot of information about so many different aspects of our trip.

Andrew Richards came in and spoke to us about RH Globals mission statement and really helped us as a team discuss more about why we are going on this trip and remind us to be open to God's movement.

We also were able to discuss and learn about different aspects of South Africa's history in order to slowly grasp more of what the country is about and the foundation of it.

Our next training is in Watts serving alongside Pastor Todd's team! Please keep us in prayer on June 5th as we serve together as a team.

Three ways you can continue to pray for us:
*That each team members finances would slowly come into place
*That individually each team member leans on God through this process
*That we continue to grow and unify as a team

James 4:7-10 [the message]
So let God work his will in you. Yell a loud no to the Devil and watch him scamper. Say a quiet yes to God and he'll be there in no time. Quit dabbling in sin. Purify your inner life. Quit playing the field. Hit bottom, and cry your eyes out. The fun and games are over. Get serious, really serious. Get down on your knees before the Master; it's the only way you'll get on your feet.
