Lots of goodbyes!

Sadly, we have said goodbye to our Muizenberg YWAM family and the family of believers from the church in Mfuleni township. We miss them very much already. We felt so welcomed and encouraged. Cape Town was truly a breath of fresh air.



One evening, our friend Gabriel hosted us at his house for an authentic African meal. Yum! He is a great cook; we had chicken, beans, vegetables, tomato sauce and our favorite, Paup (I’m sure I spelled that wrong, we pronounce it “pop.” It is an African staple, made of maize meal and cooked so that it is the consistency of thick mashed potatoes. Very filling. You wad it up and dip it in the sauce.) At Gabriel’s house, our countries of origin included Zambia, Nigeria, Camaroon, Burundi, Togo and the US. It was great to sit around after dinner and swap stories.

How to sum up our time in South Africa? Refreshing! We learned a lot about YWAM and the history of South Africa. We spent time with some amazing pastors and believers in the townships. Mostly, we were welcomed into an incredible family of believers.

We are so blessed.
