The Msindisi Monthly – January 2008

“Let the word of the Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” (Colossians  3:16)

The Latest News

Well here we are the start of another year. Before finishing off 2007 we had several more visits onto the KwaZenzele settlement. There was a sense of excitement before Christmas and everyone was very open to sharing. We made contact with a young man called Oscar, Sal got talking and soon he shared with us the book he was reading “purpose driven”. This opened up a wonderful discussion, in the end phone numbers were exchanged and we said once we returned from Kwazulu we would give him a call so talks could continue.

After a wonderful Christmas break we headed off to Kawzulu Natal on the 28th of Dec. The car was stacked up with gifts for the kids club, blankets, clothes, food an not forgetting a portable loo. God had provided so much before we went, including the finances for the car hire.

Driving there took about 4 hours and Salvi’s grin grew larger and larger the closer we got.

We pulled into Phumulani’s kraal about 4pm after picking up supplies. Over the next week we spent most days visiting different kraals where reunions were made and devotions were shared. We were able to attend kids club twice, the second time we were asked to lead it. Over the time there it was great to encourage Phumulani and Salvi and himself spent most evenings sharing ideas and thoughts. Due to the kindness of gifts given we were able to purchase some teaching books to help him in his preaching. The church of Phumulani’s  is a small gathering of believers with humble and thirsty hearts to hear the word of the Lord.

We wrote a diary when we were away so if you would like to know more of the day to day run down of our trip we will be sent out to you soon.
