Getting Settled

Over the past few days we have been getting settled and recovering from major jet lag! We have also been doing work where we are staying. We are with a the YWAM Kruger base. They are the founders of an organization called Ten Thousand Homes. You should look them up online. They are an amazing ministry. They build houses for orphans but they don't stop there. They make them homes- a place of safety, rest, comfort, and love. We will be working with them on a home. As I have told you on previous emails we are bring water solutions. In Africa the water supply is a huge problem. We have started working on a rain catchment tank where we are staying. This tank will be an 8 foot tall circular cement tank that catches rain water from a roof top. When it is full it can supply water for 150 people for a week. It will help supplement the water sources they have. We hope to build one in the community as well.
Yesterday morning we had our first experience at an African church! It was INCREDIBLE! It was for two and a half hours. We danced and sang, stomped and clapped. You could feel the Holy Spirit's presence so strongly. I am learning much from the way they worship. It is not structured at all. People from the congregation will start any song they want and everyone joins in!
Tomorrow we will start our official ministry. We will be helping with feeding programs in the communities. It will be awesome to care for and love the children and orphans of the villages near us.

Below are a few pictures of where we re staying! I'll try to keep you all updated as we begin ministry.
