Mike’s mom and sister have come and gone and BBC is here

We had a great visit with Monna and Shay. The weather held out for us. When we planned to be outside sight seeing it would be a beautiful day and when we needed to rest it would rain. They got to visit all the local spots and see all the places where we work. Now they really understand our ministry here and know how to pray for us.
When we took them to the airport on Friday, we walked them over to the departure gates kissed and hugged goodbye and literally turned around and walked over to the arriving gates and met the Brentwood Team arriving for a week. We have had a great time when them so far and today was their first day of ministry. We have a construction team that is redoing the kitchen in Muizenberg at Living Grace. A landscaping team at Living Grace, a smaller construction team at Ocean view working on repairs, a retreat team taking the healthcare workers overnight for some TLC, 2 IT guys working at all the branches and about 20+ Vacation Bible School teachers working with all the Life Skill educators during holiday (kids) clubs this week. There are 31 people in all.
Once again it is always such a blessing to have our extended church family here in Cape Town. It is so neat to see God at work in the lives of the people who come here for the first time. They are so amazed at what they see. I get just as excited about seeing God at work around us and we have been here 8mths now.
Our entrepreneur class is turning in their assignments this week and we are getting geared up for the next class in a couple of weeks. We still haven’t heard about the property for Living Way, but we are still praying for it. Great things just keep happening. One of the team members brought us 10 laptops to be used for our mobile computer training class that we will now be able to get started. He also brought 2 other computers to be used for volunteers that come and for Living Way. We serve such a cool God!!!!!!! Thanks for believing in us.........until next time.
