Week 6
I can’t believe more than a month has passed, it feels as
though I only left yesterday. We have
been back at Alabanza (just outside of Pretoria)
for the past 2 weeks. South Africa is
the one place that I didn’t want to come to, I signed up for the Kenya
FYM. When I arrived in South Africa I
put up walls and didn’t want to engage in ministry here. God had bigger things in store for me. He has completely broken my heart for this
place and has placed a passion in my heart that I never expected – He placed a
calling on my life for this place. The
news was broken to us today that Alabanza will not be an option for our
internship, it’s something that I knew might be a possibility but really believed
that a leader for this location would step up.
At first I had a hard time understanding why God would call me to this
place only to tell me that I can’t stay here.
It was upsetting to me at first but after receiving some wise words I
came to the realization that just because I won’t be in South Africa
does not mean that I misunderstood the voice of God, it just means that it will
be something that I will have to fight for.
We need to daily fight for the heart of our king – ministering in South Africa is
a passion of my heart that I will have to fight for. Ministry in Kenya
will prepare me for the ministry in South Africa some day.
