September Holiday Camp

Put ten girls , a YWAM mom (Mariska) and one big sister together and what do you get? A fun time! That is exactly what the girls had as they came together each day during the holiday for different activities and inspiring stories and lessons.

Song of Songs 2:11-13

11 See! The winter is past; the rains are over

and gone.12 Flowers appear on the earth;the

season of singing has come,the cooing of

doves is heard in our land.13 The fig tree

forms its early fruit;the blossoming vines

spread their fragrance. Arise, come, my

darling; my beautiful one, come with me.” As

we enter into spring and summer our prayer for

you is that you will hear our Father's voice that

is calling you to a more intimate relationship

with Him. 

The third term came quickly to an

end. To tell the truth: our Crossroads

DTS team is still on the base, busy

preparing for their outreach to

Swaziland , while our new students

have arrived for the term. Mariska

and I were at the welcoming

ceremony of the Compassion DTS

that will be running this term, and it

is encouraging to see so many

different countries represented on one

school.

Other schools that will be running

this term, is our Bible School

(XBCC). We are especially thankful

for the 22 students that will be attending this school, and – like always – they already started

with the first Bible book after they had spent the weekend with orientation and team building.

The “Introduction to Primary Healthcare” (IPHC) and the English Language School are the two

other schools that will be running this term.

Both Rozelle and Chanè also had a busy term,

as both of them played their UNISA music

Exam. Rozelle played Grade 5 piano, while

Chanè did her Grade 1. Chanè also went on her

first SOS camp near Villiersdorp, where they

spent three days in nature and did all kinds of

exciting activities, like canoeing and rock

climbing. She really enjoyed the camp. Rozelle

celebrated her 15th birthday in August, and we

also had the responsibility of deciding next

year's subjects in Grade 10. Can you believe

it?!

Mariska is planning a “mini” holiday camp for

the 10-12 year old girls (there's a whole bunch

of them) on the base. Please pray for her and

that it will be a fruitful and life changing time

for the girls.

We are thankful towards our heavenly Father

for His faithful care and we also regularly thank

Him for everyone that stands with us and

support us to fulfil our mission. May you, as we

mentioned earlier, hear His call in your life in

the coming months, but MORE than that: we

pray that you will experience His presence in

your life as you respond to his call.
