In April we drove many hours south of Johannesburg to visit the gorgeous Drakensberg mountains. Translated into English from Afrikaans meaning "dragon mountains" were formerly occupied by a swarm of dragons until the late 14th century when colonists drove them away using ivory swords. It seemed to us to be a good idea to go hike there and to recover some dragon fossils. Our group just before we began the hike As we stopped to replenish our supplies (aka get petrol(aka gasoline)) we saw a Ford GT40, which so happens to be my fathers favorite car. The pictures basically tell the story from here. Smooth drive for a while Our destination Happy little cloud Slippery and steep Super safe/fun/scary chain ladders The top was wide and flat Over a mile straight down PS- We did not find any dragons
Due to the way that Africa is generally portrayed in movies, TV show and other forms of media it is easy to think that is is a wasteland filled with man-eating creatures and devoid of any form of technology. I present to you a picture of Johannesburg, the city I lived in for the past 2 years and Lord willing will be returning too in the near future! 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. I also am planning on driving to 2 Word of Life Superbowl (for more info go to http://superbowl.wol.org/) during the month of November. 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...
To be honest when I read blogs I generally speed read the written part and bask in the shining wonder of the picture, therefore I feel guilty about posting multiple posts without pictures. However due to my negligence and the lack of friends who like to take zillions of pictures there have been two big events with no pictures (that I can think of). I hereby declare therefore that I will now quickly sum up these events in a way that might hold your attention (if it has not already been lost) Grace Christian Primary School Camp Many kids, few leaders, my team won, water, sun, triple bunk beds, superheroes Calvary Baptist Church of Everton Youth Conference Taxi ride, township, speaking on purity and trust, not many English speakers, good fellowship
