Zimbabwe Missions 2013. Yea. That's right.

At Acts of God Church, Bulawayo

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, this is the moment you've all been waiting for. Yes, after all this time, FINALLY I get to write a post. I should be studying right now, although I thought that if I didn't write at least one decent post in South Africa I'd be sorry. 

So the most recent exciting venture would be our missions trip as Saturation School of Missions along with a team from Koinonia and Acts of God Church to Zimbabwe. WHOOP!!! It was baie wonderful. Never thought that a Chinese girl from London would be livin' it large in Bulawayo. 

For 12 days we did things like going from house to house and praying for people. I learnt how to balance a bucket of water on my head - yes please. Give me more. Also ate pap with our hands - many thanks to our wealth of experience in rural village missions the past few months. We also learnt how to sing in Ndebele. It was truly amazing. One of the pastors gave us a bedroom to sleep in so us girls got to sleep on a mattress. They also killed a goat so we could eat well. The ladies worked night and day stirring pap. I tried, it was tough. I don't get it. They're so slight frame-wise and yet they got core strength like a wrestler. Hats off to the Zimbabweans. 

Cansa Charity Run 

This was a while back but I felt it needed to be included. It's not that I ran a long distance but it was more the fact that we did it as Koinonia Training Centre plus peeps from Koinonia Church. 

Every mile or so there were people handing out soft drinks - GAME ON. It made us strong. I mean, look at the photo! The SA Yotties did a fine job putting the stands up and being a general hands and feet.




So we have 9 more days until we fly back to the UK (*gulp). I don't even know where I'm going to live after graduation yet. Very happy that God knows. Not fully sure how I've felt about my time here. I'm looking forward to seeing my family and friends. Really missing my sister and brother at the moment. We used to have so much fun when we were living together. Can't wait to go to London, kick back and relax a bit before the next season of whatever God has in store for me begins. 

On the flip side of things, I don't want to leave South Africa. Made some good friendships here. Love their hearts in wanting to give. Then there's Angie, Henk's (one of the Yotties) daughter. Oh she's cute. I love how weird and quirky she is. 9 years old and she goes around barefeet picking up Bella the cat and just...you know what, I don't know what she does exactly but she's awesome. Love it when she sings in Afrikaans. 

It will be a bittersweet moment when we drive off to O R Tambo airport in Jo'berg. 

But hey, there's still a week to go. Still got Equipping Week here at the TC with Pastor Isaac and his team from the Free State. Still got time to soak up the sun. Still got time to do my SATs Christian Ethics and Introduction to Biblical Languages. Lord give me supernatural strength! Last push before I can wear my mortar board and the scroll of epic-academia-intellectual awesomeness. 

Anyway, must dash now. SATs ain't gonna write itself. 

Yebo!
