Pretoria, South Africa.
For one of our ministries we did a prayer walk on our way to a park near by where we were staying. When we reached the park, we paused at a bench and started to praise and sing. From there we went over to some children, college students, and other adults and conversed with them. I personally had the opportunity to talk to some college students. We were able to discuss how they had churches back in there home town, but were not actively seeking a church to go to while they attend college. We then discussed the importance of having a Christian community to be able to commune with. In this time, the Lord ministered to me about how evangelism is not convincing someone of how much they need Jesus. It is more about sitting down and listening to someone's hardships and struggles with a Christ-like love.

We have had lots of fun with the youth of Ethiopia. When we were staying at a church in Jinka, we would have children of various ages flood in to play games with us, watch some skits we prepared, and listen to some Bible stories!

So far the adventures here have been fantastic! The people are all very kind and hospitable. We had the privilege of climbing a mountain where the were some stones at the top of. The significance of this mountain is that it is a well known place of prayer for missionaries. We had the opportunity to join the legacy of prayers.
