The Msindisi Monthly - January 2008

"Let the word of the Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom,
teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him." Colossians  3: 16

The Latest News

Well here we are the start of another year. Before finishing off 2007
we had several more visits onto the KwaZenzele settlement. There was a
sense of excitement before Christmas and everyone was very open to
sharing. We made contact with a young man called Oscar, Sal got
talking and soon he shared with us the book he was reading "purpose
driven". This opened up a wonderful discussion, in the end phone
numbers were exchanged and we said once we returned from Kwazulu we
would give him a call so talks could continue.

After a wonderful Christmas break we headed off to Kawzulu Natal on
the 28th of Dec. The car was stacked up with gifts for the kids club,
blankets, clothes, food an not forgetting a portable loo. God had
provided so much before we went, including the finances for the car
hire.

Driving there took about 4 hours and Salvi's grin grew larger and
larger the closer we got.

We pulled into Phumulani's kraal about 4pm after picking up supplies.
Over the next week we spent most days visiting different kraals where
reunions were made and devotions were shared. We were able to attend
kids club twice, the second time we were asked to lead it. Over the
time there it was great to encourage Phumulani and Salvi and himself
spent most evenings sharing ideas and thoughts. Due to the kindness of
gifts given we were able to purchase some teaching books to help him
in his preaching. The church of Phumulani's  is a small gathering of
believers with humble and thirsty hearts to hear the word of the Lord.

We wrote a diary when we were away so if you would like to know more
of the day to day run down of our trip we will be sent out to you
soon.

God Bless and have a good new year.
