Day three in Africa. Today was a whirlwind of activity. Africa is such an amazing place; Time seems to run on a different clock here that allows us to accomplish twice as much in a day as we would back home.

Our day started with a wonderful breakfast of "wrecked eggs" (scrambled) with a spread of tasty breakfast meats, cereal, and toast. Shortly after breakfast we had a devotional/prayer time where Lyn lead us through 2 Corinthians 9:6-15.  Each morning we will continue to study this scripture in our devotional, breaking it down into its building blocks.

After the devotional, we traveled to Century City to meet Michael Louis of The Louis Group; a large Christian conglomerate. It was such a blessing to hear Michael share the exact same principals that we were taught in the equip training as the foundation of his very successful business venture.

Next we were off to the top of Table Mountain. Today was a holiday, so there was no work going on. Table Mountain was simply awesome. The grandeur of God’s creation was evident at every turn. I was most impressed with the massive rock formations known as "The Twelve Apostles". We speculated that they must have been named by sailors of long ago as they transited between the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic.

In the evening, we went to Kayamandi for the first time. This is the African squatter camp where we will be working. The living conditions were extreme, but the one thing that stood out to me immediately were the children; jumping rope with and old piece of string, playing jacks with rocks, and following us with smiles and curious looks on their faces. I did manage to pose with several of them for a picture - it is by far my favorite to date.

The bakery in Kayamandi is flourishing. They make the best bread in town! I think even Brett and Lyn were surprised by the progress there. God is such a wonderful provider - I am looking forward to serving Him here, in Kayamandi!
