Due to potentially damaging weather this afternoon and evening, the children’s musical and pre-show events in the Leawood Sanctuary have been cancelled and will be rescheduled.
IMPORTANT:
Scheduled programming has resumed for Thursday, February 13 at all Resurrection locations.
Our second day in South Africa began in worship at West View Methodist Church. The message challenged us to think about the way our everyday actions and behaviors reflect Jesus and how, through the way we live and love others, we can help create space for them to hear God’s voice.
After the service, we spent time outside over coffee and tea, getting to know members of the congregation and enjoying the fellowship that comes from gathering together in faith.
From there, we headed to Prison Break Market, a local market appropriately named for its location across from Leeuwkop Prison and its invitation to “break out” of the ordinary. We shared lunch with members of the Ditshego staff, browsed the wares of local vendors and enjoyed the opportunity to begin building relationships with some of the people we’ll be serving alongside this week.
Back at the guesthouse, the evening gave us time to slow down, rest and reconnect as a team. We shared a hot meal together, enjoyed Malva pudding (a delicious South African treat!) and ending the night with a devotional.
As we prepare for our first day at Ditshego, today reminded us that our purpose isn’t simply found in what we came here to do, but in how we choose to love and serve along the way.
We are thankful for the opportunity ahead and excited to see what God has in store this week!
