Well, today is our last day in JBAY! We are sad to leave the beach and the people here, but we are excited to get home and share all of our stories and pictures with each of you! Our time here has been amazing! We have learned so much, especially the power of God's love! A smile and a hug have been our most powerful tools. These kids come from such horrific conditions that preaching the gospel with words wouldn't be as effective. But showing them love every day has broken down many barriers, especially the language barriers.
Please be praying for the children at Ithemba. Precious' (one of the girls at Ithemba) mom passed away yesterday and now her and her sister are orphans. Gavin and Linds are staying for two more weeks to begin the process of building the safe house to house children in Precious' situation. The goal is to have the safe house finished when Gav and Linds return in June.
Well, we board our plane tomorrow at 3:20pm (8:30am Atlanta time) and arrive in Atlanta at 8:30am on Wednesday. Hopefully this 24 hour trip will go by as quickly as the first trip.
We love you all and miss you!

Hi - Could you please provide me the email address of someone at Deo Doxa church in Jeffreys Bay, SA? I am trying to get in touch with Rev. Freddie Steenkamp, who was a pastor there in 2005. He was kind enough to film an HIV/AIDS prevention education video for AIDSvideos.org. I now need to get presenters to sign a formal release to facilitate the further distribution of the videos going forward. My contact info is here: http://aidsvideos.org/contact.shtml Thanks!
