Greetings from SA. We just returned (midnight) from an evangelistic outreach at Central Baptist in Pretoria. The church is only a few blocks from the stadium in which the Confederation Cup soccer tournament is being held. (The US lost to Italy 3-1.) We passed out tracts to hundreds of spectators, and invited many to the church to watch it on a projected screen. Many came to watch the game at the church which provided an opportunity for building relationships. Overall, the day was spent enjoying fellowship with the Zak family and learning about ministry in SA. The schedule the next few days includes an orphanage tomorrow, an overnight in a smaller village, a nursing home, two public schools and other evangelistic outreaches. We also plan on attending the Brazil vs. US soccer game on Thursday after the outreach. On Saturday, we will leave for a small village in Mozambique. During those eight days we will have no internet connectivity or communication.

The team is doing well. All are healthy and in great spirits. Every day that we can, we will update the blog with news of past happenings and future events. We do this because we covet your prayers. Our ultimate goal is to allow God to impact us as we seek to impact others. One significant prayer requests is that our luggage be found and sent to us. Thus far we are all living out of our carry-ons. The team is great with this, but there are obvious upcoming challenges if this continues! Thanks for your support.

Mr. Trainer
