PASTOR THWALA WILL BE TRAVELING WITH HIS WIFE AND BE TRAVELING WITHIN THE STATES FOR ABOUT A MONTH. PLANS HAVE BEEN MADE HERE IN PHOENIX TO HOST THEM AT A DINNER ON FRIDAY, JULY 20TH THEN HE WILL PREACH AT LOVE OF CHRIST LUTHERAN IN MESA ON SUNDAY AND ALSO AT CHRIST CHURCH LUTHERAN THE SAME MORNING. BOB FUNK HAS TO DO SOME FANCY DRIVING TO MAKE IT TO BOTH SERVICES WITH OUR GUEST.
ONE OF THE GREAT BITS OF NEWS THAT PASTOR THWALA WILL BE BRINGING WITH HIM IS THAT THE CRECHE HAS BEEN FINALLY FUNDED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF SOUTH AFRICA. THIS MEANS THAT WITH THIS PER CHILD STIPEND, THE COMPLEX CAN BECOME PRETTY WELL SELF SUFFICIENT. THIS HAS BEEN OUR GOAL FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. WITH THE OTHER PROJECTS GOING ON INCLUDING THE SEWING LADIES, THIS HAS BEEN A HAND UP ASSISTANCE TO THE COMMUNITY.
OUR NOVEMBER TEAM, LEAD BY DREW WEST, ARE MAKING THEIR PLANS. THEY WILL BE SPENDING THANKSGIVING IN SHONGWENI AND WHAT A WAY TO GIVE THANKS FOR ALL THE MIRACLES THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE. MORE TO COME ABOUT THEIR TRIP.
