October News

October has been a month of meeting new friends and growing

old friendships. We are still working to disciple the teens in the

Sweetwaters area. Paige got to speak at the Mum-Daughter Tea

in the Indian community at Northdale where Thomas continues

to teach at the Bible College.

We are making new friends by agreeing to partner with the

ministry called Ethembeni. They work in the Zulu communities

around Howick about 10 minutes from our home. We will serve

as their volunteer coordinators. This also allows us to continue

house visits among the poor and those suffering from HIV/TB.

The Queen kids are thriving. Come and see the journey God is

leading us on.

Sweetwaters Discipleship

We continue teaching the teens in the

Sweetwaters area on Tuesdays critical

truths found in God's Word. Pictured

here is Thomas teaching our dear

friend Solo about what Jesus taught

concerning Hell. We cover a central

doctrinal truth each week. Then

unpack it in an understandable way so

they can teach others.

Ethembeni-> in Zulu: "A place of Hope" We have been offered the opportunity to partner with the ministry

Ethembeni. Pictured here is the current director Grant Edkins

and Zwe (new director in training). Ethembeni works with the poor

and those suffering from HIV/TB in the Howick Zulu communities of

Mpophomeni, Hhaza, and Shiya’s just 10 minutes north of us. Grant

has offered to allow us to participate on house visits and advise them

at their healthcare center. They would also like us to disciple their

overseas volunteers and head up coordinating short term & long term

mission teams. They desire to begin homework clubs after school

which we would help in as well. We are excited about this new

opportunity to share Christ with local people and overseas

volunteers!

House visits in Hhaza & Shiyabazali

We have been able to start back on house visits with the ministry Ethembeni (Et-Tim-Benny).

We were able to go into the Zulu community of HHaza (Hah-Ah-Zah). We met a grandmother

of 10 who must raise the children alone. One of her grandchildren has HIV. We were able to

take her some much needed food and share truths from Isaiah 43 with her. It is great to share

Christ's love and the gospel in the community again. We share our candy too!

Mums Daughter Tea Paige got the opportunity to

address the women at the

church, New Life Centre in the

Indian community of

Northdale. About 35 ladies and

their daughters came to the tea

on Saturday. Paige shared on

Proverbs 31. She challenged the

ladies & daughters to live the

Great Commandment to its

fullest by staying sexually pure

and dressing modestly. Getting

to sample the delicious Indian

food afterwards was such a

treat (with heat)!

Our College Girl! Elizabeth is thriving at Lee

University. She is doing well

academically & is leaning

towards becoming a math

teacher. She was elected as a

floor leader in her dorm. She is

excited to lead dorm bible

studies now. She is pictured

here with her fellow Grove

Level pal Sarah Blevins and

other dorm mates. Both

girls participated in Dorm

Wars. Elizabeth helped her

dorm get 3rd by doing the

shopping cart & sack race.

Watch out folks. Dorm Wars is

WAR!

Water Polo Anyone?

Jacob is doing 3 sports now. He

is doing both Cricket and

Water polo at St. Charles. He

still swims on the Seals swim

team. When he isn't in the

water or on "the cricket pitch",

he is studying for his upcoming

finals. He helped at Hilton

Baptist this Friday as a youth

leader during our kids ministry

hour. Unfortunately for those

kids he was using his water polo

skills at dodge ball. Duck kids!
