Outreach-Weeks 5 & 6-Mafikeng

Once again we were off to a rocky start, or rather, a push-starting exhibition all the way to Mafikeng. At road stops the team could be heard shouting, "Don't switch him off!" LOL! Our first weekend in Mafikeng we had the privilege of being part of the AOG Missionaries Conference, were we performed at the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as an open-air midday service on Saturday.

During our (very hot 37degrees!) stay we visited the Rotarus Old Age Home three times, spending times both performing and praying one-on-one/ fellowshipping with the elderly. We also visited Danville's Primary and High Schools, were we performed and also had a chance to go class to class (at the high school) encouraging the kids to keep working hard and dreaming big for the future, as well as answering some random questions about any of the non-SA countries. The second Saturday we visited a local hospital with some of the youth from AOG where we were very encouraged while praying for the sick. Some were even dancing and singing up and down the hallways being led by a youth playing a guitar.

We were fortunate enough to lead both the Friday evening Youth service, as well as Sunday morning's AOG service (Mike did a great job on his first time preaching!!) Once again the hospitality was amazing (warmer than the weather, if that's even possible). We were treated to some yummy potjie-kos and braais, including cow-tongue (which was an interesting experience to some...) We were very blessed during our time in Mafikeng and hope to continue experiencing the movement of God through us in Brits.
