Swaziland
I am currently on my way to Swaziland to train at an international sport leadership training level 1 for 15-25 students from South Africa and Swaziland. I will be training in 3 modules which includes servant leadership (following The example of Jesus by descending into greatness) , building effective teams (discipleship), and partnership (partnering together as the body of Christ in His kingdom).
Please pray for The Lord to speak through me as I seek to listen to Him.

Campus Ministry Retreat
On March 21-23, we served and partnered alongside one of our very close friends, George, helping out with a campus ministry retreat in Tulbagh. George and I are basically like brothers, having played tennis together at Paul Roos High School in Stellenbosch and continued playing together at Abilene Christian University. George is a part time campus minister at a church in Cape Town. Their website is http://www.churchadventure.co.
There were about 15-25 students, many of which are medical students since George's church is close to the medical university campus. The theme for the weekend was on discipleship focusing on the questions: "What did Jesus mean when he said, go and make disciples of all nations? And what does that look like today? "
I had the chance to be one of the speakers and got to talk about growing in obedience, living by the Spirit, hearing God's voice, and prayer using the following scriptures:
Growing in obedience: Matthew 21:28-32, John 14:15-24 & John 15:1-17
Living by the Spirit: Rom 8:1-17, Galatians 5:16-26
Prayer/Hearing His voice: John 10:1-18
It was truly a blessing serving alongside brothers and sisters in Christ investing into one another and the next generation of leaders who are hungry for the Lord and passionate to see God's kingdom coming on earth as it is in heaven.
We were truly inspired by these leaders. We were encouraged and inspired that these students and leaders truly believe that the world can be changed starting in their own church and that they are very serious about seeing South Africa changed..one person at a time.
Praise God for an amazing weekend!

Another week in Stellenbosch
Another great week in Stellenbosch! I was invited to a mom’s Bible study on
Thursday and that was really fun. There
were ladies there from all over the world.
Then on Friday, we had to go to the Department of Home Affairs to get my
visa paperwork turned in. I had to get
two different types of doctor’s checkups this week and get a background check
to turn in with the other paperwork. It
took forever, but the nice thing was that it is in the same town as Casper’s
mom, so we were able to go to her house and pick out all of the furniture,
dishes, and other items from her garage that she is not using anymore. That helped us a ton because now we won’t
have to buy as much stuff!
Friday night was another dinner with the other 3 families
and then this weekend we got a chance to visit some of Casper’s family. His cousin, Christine just had a baby in
January – actually on my birthday – so we got to see the baby and several of
his other family members. Sunday was one
of the best days because we had a braai with our neighbors, which was really a
great way for us to get to know them.
One of them couldn’t come, but hopefully she will be able to next
time. We hung out with them from 12:30
all the way until like 4. One girl is
from Botswana and the others are all South African. We are starting to meet with more and more
locals here to find where we can fit in best to serve the community. Keep praying for us to meet more people and
spread our connections.
