WHAT TIME IS IT? THE TIME OF THE LORD'S FAVOUR.
It gives me great joy to write this to you guys at this stage of our journey. What journey is this some might be asking? Fear not for I will explain everything to you. I know that some of you have received emails from some of the team members explaining what we plan on doing these coming June Holidays, while the rest of the country will be partaking in what is said to be the biggest event ever hosted in this country, THE 2010 WORLD CUP.
For those of you, who have not heard, well let me fill you in on some details. While the country will be sharing in this ‘glorious event’ I have mentioned above, some of us will be gallivanting around the country of Mozambique, Espungabera to be exact.
Doing what you may be asking yourself? Good question, we believe that this is what Jesus is calling us to, “to go, to give, to live and to die”. What does that even mean? This basically means that we will leave our country and go else where, in this case Espungabera, we will be living there and helping in any way we can. We are partnering with Africa Inland Mission missionaries Jinx and Dawn Reyneke. An exciting project that they have coming up is the construction of a home for a missionary couple soon to arrive in the area. Apart from helping with that we will also take part in working with the kids and students in the area and sharing our lives with them.
You probably thinking, why do all that? (I must say, you are very sharp, asking all these questions.) That is a hard question to answer because the answer varies with each team member; however, it is evident that because of what Christ has done for us at the Cross, His great work of salvation, we all desire to live for Him wholeheartedly. We believe that “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose”. This means we would gladly give our time holidays and money to know God better and to share Him with the people in Espungabera. We feel like this would be an excellent opportunity to grow in our understanding of what full time missions looks like and to share our passions and dreams with people from another country and culture.
If you feel so strongly about this, then why not share with the people watching soccer in the stadiums? Oh please do not get me wrong here, we love our country, we desire that the people here may also come to know Christ and live for Him. We are all involved in some sort of ministry here at home so we are not running away at all. Rather, the team that is going there is a group of people who have a passion for countries, different cultures and people other than our own. We want to go to a different country to engage ourselves with a different culture while seeking to stretch our faith and serve God in a practical way.
