It is a rainy, cold day here in Cape Town but we are not complaining. we need the water and we did not get the snow that confused others in parts of the Cape. At Evangeline Ministries we are delighted as today marks the start of our second 2011 Skills Development Class. This class of twelve is at once the same and yet quite different from the class that graduated three weeks ago. In it we have students from two HIV and AIDS support groups from Living Hope and there are two men. They are ready to go with the graduation date set for Saturday December 3. They willhave computer, english and sewing classes.
When I asked them if any had had computer instruction, not a single person raised the hand. When I asked why they said because they had never had the opportunity and they are too poor.
I told them God sent them to us and us to them.
I explained that Evangeline is there in the name and under the Lordship
of Jesus Christ who has come to give them "life to the full." I cooked the meal of stew and served with an apple and some cookies and said goodbye to them for a month as I head off to the US.

Each class is a special thrill to my heart. I delight to do this work here and will write more about the many opportunities coming our way and the partnerships we have. This is the day the Lord has made, and we are so thankful. And we are thankful for you friends, supporters, prayer partners and all who read this blog.
