Pray for Cebo's Mom - Update from S.A.

We just heard from the Quarterlife team that is working with Mafu's right now that Cebo's mom (Cebo is a friend, translator, and ACM staff person) has taken a turn for the worse. She is very ill and could really use our prayers. Please join us in prayer for improved health.

On another note, Sabelo passed his dreaded driving test. It is much more complicated than the U.S. test. It is a real blessing for him to be able to help with transportation now.

God Provided

It has been just over a week since our team returned from South Africa. I am always amazed at what God does while we are there - but I am even more perplexed - surprised - and filled to overflowing with what God continues to teach us once we come home.

I was just looking at some of the photos we took and I came across this one in which we had placed all the meds out on the tables to be sorted once again. God provided us an overabundance of medication to provide for the Zulu people. No doubt He would do this - but somewhere back in March when we really started collecting the donations - I doubted. I can see, now, that God not only answered our prayers - but he blessed us beyond measure. It was a tremendous blessing to be able to leave an ample supply for the year ahead - I am certain God will continue to use this to minister to people in a big way.

With the 2007 trip behind us - I will continue to update this blog with the stories that continue to unfold in South Africa and here with our team.
