Week Two: 7 July 2013

Over the weekend, we drove into the moonscape (right) which is what can be compared to a beautiful, inverted, smaller-scale, Grand Canyon and then we visited the sand dunes so some of the new volunteers could see some of Namibia's natural beauty, nearby.

Wednesday's all day Youth Conference went really well. We had four main teachings by some amazing Servants of the Lord. 1) God's passionate, unending love and acceptance as we are His princes and princess' 2) Run towards God and receive courage to fight the giant in your life (David and Joshua) 3) Practically being a special part of his exciting adventure 4) Faith Walk – ask God to speak to you and listen to Him. There were worship times and activities intermingled into the day, but it was almost 5 hours of Bible Teaching which was more than they have ever had all at once and all the kids were engaged the whole time.

Thursday was a blessed evening which brought a lot of encouragement to several leaders. I believe God is bringing people together who do not normally meet together. 

Over the weekend a good friend of the ministry celebrated his 70^th birthday by blessing all of our kids with camel rides so we took a drive to the camel farm just outside of Swakopmund. We are waiting for the weather to warm up here in Arandis, because I forgot my winter coat.

Prayer for:

• Children playing the guitar and leading worship to have more knowledge of His presence and character and love Him as they sing to Him.
• Guarding our hearts because it's the wellspring of life.
• Provision and father's for our children.
• Wisdom for the ministry in the months ahead.
• Health and unity for all the directors.
