One of my friends, Sarah Prince, that works in Ocean View (a coloured township) got some of the ladies she works with to come in a pray for some single moms in Masi (the township I work in). It was a powerful time of prayer and song and I felt so honored to be apart of this divine moment with these ladies. The visit took place in the dark and the shacks had no working electritiy.
This video captures something that we are really seeing the Lord bless. We call it storying. Since so many people do not learn by reading (close to 80% of the world are oral learners), we are experimenting with different ways that: A) People can learn the scripture in a manner that penetrates their hearts. B) They can reproduce it for others. I encourage you to try this in a group soon. Later, I will post some stories that we have crafted. Use, reproduce, tell others and let the Word of the Lord go forth.

What a week we have had! Last Monday we woke up to the news that there was a massive fire in Masi, burning at least 1500 shacks. People were left with no home and many with no possessions to their name. When I arrived on the scene, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I have never seen a fire so big and do so much damage. I felt for the people because I could remember what it was like to watch a home burn down.
The fire started in the middle of the night and when we got in at 9am the people were already clearing their site and starting to rebuild.
Each day there was more progress!
