I have officially finished serving the DTS (Discipleship Training School). It has been one of the greatest five months of my life. I have grown so much with God and in understanding people. Thank you so much for your support I have been so honored to come along side and bless and minister to the people of South Africa & Reunion Island.
South Africa was truly an amazing time full of God's goodness and beauty. I really loved serving my team. We got to see God shine through the students so much in the 8 weeks we got to spend with them.
I fell in love with the people in the locations we visited. One thing I really admired about the people in South Africa was the joy that they have. In the midst of hard circumstances they still worshiped God with their whole hearts and were so thankful for what he has done. It was really amazing to see that in the people and I wished that my own country had that joy.

The most impactful part of my time in South Africa was working with the kids at a local church in South Africa called Green Village Church. We went to this church every Sunday. The service did not start until 11, but we would arrive at 9 just so we could play with the kids & talk with the youth. This was my favorite part of the outreach, to play with the children and tell stories about how great our God is to these little children & youth.
They would hold onto me and cling to me all the time. Wherever I would sit, they would sit too. I loved it so much. I didn't just teach Jesus to these kids, but they also taught Jesus to me through their love.

We taught the local kids about God through songs and dramas and would also have them perform these dramas for their families in front of the church. They really loved it and when we went back every Sunday they would want to do another one!
We had a camp for the youth in the local areas daily and it was so good to hear about their perspectives of who God was to them. For a lot of these youth they think they will never get a good education or they were really hurt by their past so they really hold on to God for purpose and healing. They were very curious of how God worked in other parts of the world and had many many questions about His character. It was such a blessing to share with them a true biblical worldview.

In Reunion Island the people there were so on fire for God and it was contagious. The churches there were so ready to fight for God, this island was know for being infested with demons and in the churches they would cast out the demons from the people. The people were just so hungry for what God had for them. It is a fairly small island so news traveled fast once we started going to churches. Many different churches contacted us and wanted us to come to their church too. Most of them wanted to have us there because God did such great things through us and we had such a great impact on the other churches. It was such an honor to carry healing to this dry land.
Thanks to all who helped make this possible!!!!
