Our Ministries

Ministries have started for us in PE and the students are starting to build relationships with their ministry partners.  There are many different places that the students are working.  There are a couple children homes, one that has 15 kids and one that has 105.  There is a home for street boys, and a Children’s center.  Some students are doing house visits and others are going to Algoa Frail Care Center.

On Thursdays we do ministry as a family.  Last week we went to a Children’s home in town and helped them clean up and get ready for some interns to arrive.  This week we went to the Ubomi Obutshu Center where some of the students intern.  We helped with their morning kids program.  After ministering separately all week its nice to come together and minister.

Each week since we are really busy we try to take time to be together.  We call this time family time.  This week we participated in House Olympics.  We had a three-legged race, a guessing contest, a eating contest called Eat that Thing.  There was also a bible drill and wouldn’t be complete without Limbo.  It was a lot of fun. 

Saturday mornings are chore times.  We clean the whole house and the cars.  Then Saturday afternoons is intentional ministry for the students while we have a leader meeting.  Then at night is youth group with a lot of the team is helping out with that.

Sundays are pretty chill.  We go to church in the evening with a morning option (The evening is the younger service with a lot of people our age. The morning one is the older generations.).  We have lunch together followed by a team meeting then relaxing.

Also within the weeks schedule we have cell groups, worship practice, one on ones, and anything else life as a missionary throws our way.  So now you know what our week looks like.
