South Africa Barbeque

We are having a community event on Thursday September 8th from 7-10pm on the ROCKHarbor patio. Please come and learn more about the South Africa ministry. There will be people from every team that has gone so far and many people who have just returned. Come and get all your questions answered. Everyone is welcome.

Also, Matt & Kristy Andre are moving to South Africa to work with Bridges of Hope and need to raise support. We're hosting this Barbeque to send them off and help them raise a little money.

Come have dinner and say goodbye!

Prayer, Pizza and Purchase night

The South Africa community at ROCKHarbor gathered for our monthly event tonight. It was a prayer night where we gathered to pray for issues at the Academy, for the students to do well, for the staff at the academy, for Sweet Home and the CHEs who are working in Sweet Home and for the OVC (Orphans and Vulnerable Children) in Sweet Home.

Afterwards we had Pizza then attended the ROCKHarbor event that allowed all of our global partners to sell items made in the communities where we work. Market of Hope was there to represent South Africa, specifically Phillipi and Sweet home have the beading business and the sewing business that has been slowly evolving in Sweet Home. The event was very well attended and Market Of Hope was very happy with the results and many people were able to help others while getting some very unique Christmas gifts.

Here are some pictures from the event.

Community Gathering - Game Night

Keira put together a super fun community gathering this month with a game night. It was a Jeopardy style quiz show where there were 6 teams, each with a buzzer and a jeopardy screen projected on the wall.  The winners were Emily and Nicole.  Great prizes and great fun.  At the end we spent some time in prayer for Bridges Academy as there are a lot of issues they are facing right now and asked us for specific prayer requests. If you could please spend some time for the protection of the Academy, the staff and the students they would greatly appreciate it.

Community Gathering - Skype Night

Our monthly community event this month was a Skype night with the students at Bridges Academy. We all gathered at 7:30 at Matt and Kristy's and started the conference at 9pm.  That's still pretty early in South Africa, but the students are eager to communicate and it is always amazing to spend some time at the Academy even if it is through a Skype chat.
