Andrew's African Adventures
Psalm 98 "O sing onto the Lord a new song; for he has done marvellous things…"
I went to Africa knowing it would be a time of growth and significance. And God, being God delivered over and abundantly more than I could have asked for. It was not always easy, in fact in the middle section of the mission was particularly tiring and draining. However, I return to Cambridge with a stronger understanding of purpose character and faith.
Highlights of the experience included playing "Okey Ko-key", "British Bulldog" and singing "Open the Eyes of my Heart Lord" with children from a township called Tsiame. Presenting the Gospel message through dramas and African dances in 30 degree heat, as well as to young people in the local church. Stepping out in faith and hearing from God words of knowledge and instruction for the young people was an like a new level in my walk. As well as serving the local area practically by insulating shacks and huts with newspaper, flour, water and fresh cow dung, an extremely liberating experience which I will never forget.
God used the team I was a part of to support the local church, showing God's love through practical helps and sharing the Gospel relevantly and the people whole heartedly.
Thanks to everyone who has sponsored the mission to South Africa and if after this article you feel led to sponsor the mission then please contact me on ajj35@cam.ac.uk
