Last Day :-(

Well everything comes to an end at some point. I can't say enough about the joy that we've had to serve together here in Africa. From working at Freedom Park to Schools, churches, the shelter and all of the people we've come in contact with, it's simply been amazing. Today we finished up with our last schools and heard from Ashley W and Jessica B. They were amazing. They both spoke with great confidence and maturity. We spent quite abit of time after the assembly just talking with the kids and having fun. The video of our kids being mobbed by the students is pretty amazing. The african students simply wanted to come in contact with one our students, a hug, a hand shake or just a smile sent them skipping and jumping on there way. What a blast. We finished with a muslim school that we cannot represent the gospel but we can love kids and pray that they see Jesus in us.

Today we ministered as a a team to 2700 students and teachers!!! WOW The response has been amazing. The last school was the largest and best school we've done. God has a way of putting an exclamation point on what we do! Sara, Rebecca, Bo, Connor and Nicole addressed the students at the last school and they were.....wow. Stunning, Sara had a young man who's going through the loss of a sister just like Sara talked about. Another young lady proclaimed with tears in her eyes. I thought Jesus was still dead that he only died on the cross. I didn't know he is alive for me! Amazing.

Tonight we are packing up and getting ready for the long journey home. Thank you again to all of the people that are responding to the blogs. Kids are waiting with great excitement to see who recieved mail. We will be leaving thursday morning to go to the special place in Soweto where Mandela began the revolution, then allow kids to have one last chance to shop at Bruma Market. We then jump on a plane and head out to Frankfurt with a short layover and to SanFransisco by 1pm on Friday. The students will be traveling for about 38 hours to arrive home and will be tired but excited to talk about there time in Africa.

Please pray for health and a safe journey home.

God bless, and for the last time from South Africa this year.
