Thought it would be good to just lay down some basic info about the country I live in which I assume most of you have not visited. South Africa is about twice the size of Texas. It has a very diverse landscape with huge mountain ranges, grassy plains, nearly jungle conditions, and plenty of beaches. There are two landlocked countries within South Africa's borders. One which is completely encompassed.

This past week God has blessed me with 3 meetings with pastors and many opportunities to serve in New York. I was able to help the "Ranch Posse" (a camp promotion team) on Saturday by promoting the Ranch and Ranger camp to a local city.

Please continue to pray that doors will open for me to discuss South Africa with potential supporters, that support would come in, and that I would have continued ministry while in New York. Let me know if you would like to talk, support me...
The students were on vacation last week and there wasn't a ton to do around the office so we went to an amusement park. Because amusement parks are not as popular here as they are in the U.S. and because we went on a thursday there were almost no lines. We waited for maybe 15 minutes tops and went on all the working rides multiple times! Roller Coasters are fun
