What a great couple of days we have had here in Gaborone with our brothers and sisters of Old Naledi Baptist Fellowship. Our faces hurt from smilin' and laughing with these wonderful folks AND our backs and hands hurt from digging in the hardest dirt on the face of the earth. We have been busy digging the foundation holes for the new church building. We also got to experience our first duty at the feeding station with over 130 children fed. We then took them to the church for games. It's amazing how much fun you can have with soccer balls, hula hoops and jump ropes. These children are so happy to be showed any attention, especially from an adult who just wants to help them play and be a child.
We also had the great privilege of joining Old Naledi's Tuesday prayer service. James played guitar and the Holy Spirit was amongst in a powerful way. It was a true highlight for all as we stood in a circle with our brothers and sisters to sing to our Father. Wow! I am getting chills just thinking about it. Can't say enough about how outward and upfront is the faith of these people.
Right now we are enjoying a meal (well, waiting on the food) and enjoying the wireless access (as you can see). Please know that we are well, happy and enjoying the hard work and fun times. We hope to post some pictures tomorrow if possible.
In His Steps,
Mark
