Today we spent most of the day in one of South Africa's largest “squatter camps” or informal housing projects. The amount of people living in this poor community is staggering....
Our efforts today focused on three locations. First, we visited a ministry partner of Cape Missions International called, Step by Step (an education and rescue center for children). We brought the chidlren some fresh fruit, sang some songs, did some crafts and shared a brief message.
Then, some of our group went to a local public high school and shared the Gospel with some teens. Third, we met with a large group of people (maybe 300-400) and brought out some shoes, clothes, blankets and food that people had donated to CMI.
It was heartbreaking to see the needs...as always we ran out of everything! However, we were able to share the wonderful Good News of Jesus Christ. We gave out tracts in the language of the local people and prayed for the Gospel to advance in the lives of those who came.
