You can share in the fellowship but not in the swallowship

 

As I enter the last 2 weeks of my time here at the college it seems that it is ending the way it started with more power failures and internet not working at the start of the week, internet not working was as it turned out caused when the ladies touched some of the cables and somehow 1 of the cables must have come lose without any of us realizing it. This however did not stop other work from going ahead and the training of the library students is going ahead as per usual, I have basically slowed right down and are leaving the last of the work to the students to finish off so that they can get the practical and the theoretical know how of the job.

This week there was a lot of excitement as the students got ready for a visit off another Bible school to the campus for a weekend of sport which took place on Saturday, the games in itself was fun to watch I never got to play in any of the games, I was told I would be a substitute in the soccer game but I was never called on to play something which I am happy about as my right arm are feeling the effects of all the typing I did over the last couple of weeks, I am happy to say that our team won the soccer game 2-0 and the ladies drew their netball game 3-3 both these games were entertaining and comical to watch and it was great to see people just having fun on the sports field. It was hilarious to see the spectators run on to the field with palm branches every time one of our teams scored a point or a goal and for them to fan down the players with the palm branches.

On the Friday before the sports day one of the organizers of the event made an announcement in chapel that everybody was welcome to join them for fellowship that night at 20h00 but not for the swallowship (eating) which would take place afterwards. On Sunday I went to a service just on the edge off town and had lunch with the evangelist afterwards. Before returning home to get ready to go to a birthday party later in the afternoon and a game of bridge that night.

As I get ready to return home, please remember the following in your prayers as I consider my future. I would like to continue serving the Lord in Africa as I believe this is what I am called to do. What would like to do when I return home is to take care of some financial issues at home(this will be a long and hard process) as this will free me up to focus on doing the Lords work, and to possibly do a 1 year course in Discipling Nations One Year Missions Training through the Bible institute of South Africa should finances become available and that I would find a part-time job which will allow to focus all my energy on the Lords work as He prepares me for future outreaches.

I am reminded daily of the words of the song by Daniel L. Schutte " Here I am Lord The CHORUS is as follows: Here I am, Lord. Is it I Lord? I have heard you calling in the night. I will go, Lord if you lead me. I will hold your people in my heart.

On the 24 March I am leading the chappel service please pray that God will lay the right words on my lips to share with the students and whatever message I bring to them that they will take it to their heart and focus on God is saying to them through me.
