The specific purpose of this newsletter is to encourage anyone who has been hoping or even praying about participating in a mission trip this summer. Anyone who would like to participate with us this year need to let us know within the next two weeks so that we can start reserving airline seats and start our training program.
Some of the students that were in our classes in the first few years of this program would make statements like - "When we were visited by the Better Choices program we felt like our school was visited by God."
Here is another one, "We feel so honored that people from America use there holiday and spend so much money to come and teach as about AIDS and to tell us about God." The African students are truly touched by what this program does for them.
God has blessed this ministry to the extent that our South African partners have taken over the program and are teaching it year round. The downside of this success is that there are now thousands of students that don't have the blessing of interacting with the teams from America.
It is our hope and we pray that God would continue to give us a steady stream of participants to bless the African students. The strange thing i that we go on these mission trips thinking that we are going to bless the the ones that we will be serving and we learn that that we are far more blessed and encouraged by them than we could ever imagine.
Won't you consider praying about coming with us in 2010?
