Two weeks later…
We have had enough time to begin to process all that we saw, heard, and felt in South Africa. We have shared our stories and photos with everyone who will listen and we are trying to draw conclusions about how our lives have been forever changed by this experience. We have a newfound sense of responsibility to the “least of these” in our own community, since that is where we can have the most direct effect on lives for the Kingdom of God. We are now responsible for all that we saw. We have committed to consistently visiting and feeding the homeless who gather under the Commerce Street bridge downtown on Monday nights (come join us!) We are looking into mentoring a refugee family in San Antonio to ease their transition into American culture. We are working with Ryan in Johannesburg to feed and support more children in Joe Slovo on a weekly basis. (Please contact us if you are interested in sending funds to feed children in this impoverished community.)
In the big picture of our lives, our vision of becoming missionaries has been further cemented and we are moving forward with a new sense of purpose. We long to be with God’s children, serving them in whatever way we are called. We are prayerfully seeking and waiting for further guidance to know where we will be sent. We might end up on any continent at this point, but we have it narrowed down to a few places to which we are being called. Please pray for our quest, that we would be given clear direction.
