Tuesday!

Morning all,
I understand some people are daily logging on to read this so sorry for the lack of posts in recent days! Irene especially its good to have you on board!

Its been particularly busy just recently but really good too. Saturday morning we took 13 children up Lion's Head which is directly in front of Table Mountain and most children got to the top! It was a great day out with the kids, most of whom had never seen the city centre. We gave them a large lunch of sandwiches, fruit, crisps, drinks and ice cream! They loved it. Photos on picasa soon...
A few of us walked up Devil's peak on Sunday afternoon which overlooks Cape Town city centre and Table Mountain too. It was a great time of fellowship and, although a challenging walk, great fun!
With work, I did the first of a few sessions on basic budgeting with the Support Group Facilitators and it was a really good session. My simplistic setup of calculating monthly income, outgoings and random extras was just right for the level of financial management that the people here need. I will do more sessions around the peninsula for the next couple of weeks or so.

I also got more involved in the running of our pre-school in Masi, the nearest township to the offices; we had 130 2-5 year olds running around and enjoying themselves!

Work in Redhill continues to move forwards too, Mzo is really starting to pick up his game and lead the sessions with enthusiasm and great teaching. We heard yesterday that another township, having presented a simple gosepl, had 16 children accept Christ into their lives. We pray the same might be true for Redhill one day!

In the next few days there is a football tournament, more financial work with the Support Groups, flag making, global day of prayer and a long session trying to make multiple sets of the Armour of God from cardboard!

Thanks for all your encouragement and emails, do let me know what you are doing so I can pray for you!

Stuart!
