The Cape

We are safely back in Harrismith today after our 2 weeks trip to Cape Town, just off the west coast of South Africa. For a good portion of the time we worked at Living Hope, a ministry that offers hospice care for people suffering from HIV/AIDS. It was great to see another ministry in action here in South Africa. I love that fact that we all serve the same God, yet He gives each of a specific passion for areas we can serve the Kingdom. For Thrive Africa, it’s raising up Godly leaders while for Living Hope it’s caring for the sick, but it is all rooted in a passion to share Christ’s love.
The main reason for this trip was to server, so during our time at Living Hope we’ve been able to build cabinets, do some general IT work, help with filing and setting up new administration processes. Another thing I will take away from this trip is that all ministries have challenges, but it was interesting to see a different set of challenges here than we have at Thrive.
