GAP Class of 2011

Saturday, July 16, 2011

While our GAP students were on holiday, God provided us an opportunity to minister at First City Baptist in East London.  A group of 20 from The Journey Church of New York City came to minister to children here in South Africa.  We joined this group in providing a Holiday Club for 100+ children, ages 3 through second grade.  The children either have AIDS/HIV or affected by the disease.  Some are orphans and are up for adoption.  It was a wonderful time of sharing God's love to the children through Bible stories, music, crafts, and games.  We also fed them breakfast, lunch, and snack and lots of love.  They loved to sing about Jesus and our prayer is that when the hard times come they will remember how much Jesus loves them.
Our GAP students returned this week from Holiday, and we will be having a teaching and emphasis on missions.  The students will be ministering along side us in a orphanage and school this next week.
As we prepare to depart South Africa on July 25, we are thankful for the opportunity God has given us to be here and share Jesus and His love with young people here.
