this morning i woke early as i was going to visit a school assembly with reagan and sandra, after waiting around for about 20 minutes, with loads of kids shouting out hello oom tim (afrikaans for uncle tim), we were told that the school wouldn't be having an assembly as planned this morning...what i thought, we got up early, prepared over the weekend, trying to buy watermelons, out of season!, and now there's not going to be a school assembly....why?......oh cause it's raining came the reply, still a poor excuse i thought but then when sandra showed me where they hold the school assemblies it made a little more sense....the school assembly would be held in an outside courtyard between the classrooms and they didn't want the 500 or so kids to stand in the rain whilst we led a time of prayer, worship and teaching......a good call in the end i felt!........
today we also had the pleasure of welcoming michael and janet arthern, from southcourt baptist church in aylesbury, along with their son peter, onto the village of hope, i also spent sometime showing them round the squatter camps and informal settlements were we work and introduced them to the team at thembacare in grabouw, i think that they were impressed with all that we are doing as we seek to bring new hope to our community...
