Today was yet another incredible day. We spent the morning sharing some of the harder lessons about sex (STDs, contraceptives, pregnancy and abortion to name a few). Immediately following that presentation, we were able to ask all of our students if they would like to join us in the conference room to "get to know the Americans." Over 90 of them came, and the Gospel was presented, and 7 of them accepted Christ! Praise the Lord!
As a funny aside, the school today wanted us to taste "real South African food," so they went to KFC (yes, that KFC) and had chicken and pop for us. Pop is not soda, it is a corn meal mixture that takes the place of mashed potatoes. Our kids were shocked and disappointed that it was not potatoes :)
This afternoon at Murchison was hard. We got there a little early and so had more time to spend with the kids. After our fourth afternoon of loving on and playing with these kids, the goodbyes came. They were tearful and sad, but we know that God has an incredible plan for each of these kids lives. We pray they find that plan.
Our team is having a blast, and we have one more day at Port Shepstone Secondary, as well as one other great ministry opportunity tomorrow night mixed in with some fun. Pray we finish strong!
