Outreach

Last night our PhotogenX community joined together for an evening of food, fun, and fellowship. And most importantly, our outreach teams and locations were announced! Since we were first told about outreach possibilities a little over a week ago, we have all been seeking the Lord's will, talking with our school leaders about what He tells us, and waiting eagerly for this disclosure. 

So, here we have... 

 

TEAM SOUTH AFRICA!!!

Our team is composed of sixteen people of all ages from Canada, Korea, and the U.S. We are united by our mutual passion and love for the Lord, as well as our passion for the nation of South Africa. We will depart for South Africa on June 28 and spend the month of July traveling around in a "bus" (a former army truck) visiting different villages throughout the country. August and September will be spent in Cape Town working with the Voice of the Voiceless ministry. 

As I watched our team gather together for the first time, I had an overwhelming sense of the presence of God among us. We come from all different backgrounds and locations, yet God has placed a call on each of our hearts to spend three months serving Him in South Africa. I felt a unique sort of unity among us, binding us together as a family. 

I am so grateful to my family and friends (and my awesome church!) for their support and help to make this mission outreach possible. You are all a part of this team, as well! Thank you for your openness to the Spirit of God and your willingness to serve Him. 

I know that God is going to do incredible things during the three month outreach, both in the lives of the team members and in the lives of the people to whom we are ministering. I can hardly wait to begin the journey!
