Mission to South Africa News

The 2011 Christmas Party was a great success with about 1300 children. A nativity play was produced by Maria Moima and the Bible Class called ‘Revolution’. It was their first nativity play and for many the first time they had heard the story of Jesus’ birth.
 
The angel Gabrielle came in flapping his wings and sliding into place (as into 1st base) before a very frightened Mary. Next Joseph got the fright, and the shepherds held each other trembling in fear. They were all delightful. Photos of the special day are on this page.
 
The local Waterberg Academy sourced all the food and prepared and cooked the sausages, packing  the meat and rolls, yogurt and sweets into a paper bag. The teenage youth were involved in everything from cooking to packing bags to packing sweets. We appreciate so much their involvement.
 
Our own youth, about 26, helped pack the Christmas gifts for 1300 children, and received their own Lethabo Kid’s Club  t-shirts.
 
Special thanks to Dita, Sharon, Marlene, Alan and Gill as well as the youth from the Academy and their headmaster Jumbo who gave his blessing to all this involvement. What a wonderful contribution to the community!
 
The local police came around also to support us and we appreciate them.
Thanks also to Becky and Sonja, interns from Austin, Texas, who also were a great help.
 
This year we had our new roof which protected us from the bit of rain – not much, but too much to use the jumping castles we had booked.
 
Phillip the clown was on hand again, but sadly his red nose got broken and he ended up with green tape over it!
 
The event was much prayed for, and truly God blessed us!
