Ghanzi Week 2

Hello everyone sorry I haven't had a chance to update you on the past 3 weeks I had a second week in Ghanzi and 2 and a half weeks in the remote bush of northwest Botswana staying with some missionaries. In this post I will talk about the second week at Ghanzi. On monday I had a chance to teach a small group of teenagers that we had been ministering through the time there. I talked about identity in God and how looking to the world for identification is not the way and to look to God for his fatherly love. The next day I also talked again except this time I talked to a large group of prisioners at their assembly. I also talked about Identity in God but I geared it more toward fatherly love and told them about the vision I had a few weeks back of when I saw the gates of heaven and I saw Jesus there in a white robe and he gave me a white robe as well. I told them how God wants to wash away there sins and give them a white robe of righteousness and that they are rightful heirs to the kingdom as long as they follow the Lord. The next few days we went to the same disabled kids that we saw the week prior and prayed more and more for them. Although the healing we where hoping for didn't happen the last day we did see that they where wearing these bands around their waists that came from a traditional healer basically a witchdoctor. We have also found out that many of these things come with things attached like demons and as we left to go to the next city we asked them to take them off and allow us to pray for them once again. Although the older sister was ok with it her mother was not and it was not her decision. We still feel the Lord is going to do something with the paralyzed children and we have decided to on our way back to visit them one more time before we head down to South Africa. During this week we also did a lot more yard work and door to door ministry. We talked again with the old lady and a family we had met and prayed with them. We also spent more time with the teenagers going to a talent show (that happened to have a 2 hour talk on AIDS and how to prevent it...we eventually left cause we couldn't handle the heat anymore) and the next night we went to a choir competition that had a huge steak dinner for us at the intermission..first time that has ever happen at any of my choir concerts. We also spent some time working on a roof to cover the people we where staying at's patio. The time in Ghanzi was great but the time in the bush was something unexpected. Before we left we had a plan to have our leader and his family leave their car and jump in our car (a SUV) for the final part of the trip because it was 4x4 only section for 120 km or about 90 miles. This road was going to take 3 hours with 10 people and a trailer...but unexpectedly we had another guy show up that was suppose to come with us. of course we didn't know anything about it and ended up to have 11 people in a cramped SUV for us 6... Only in Africa....
