Bread for Life
After a break it is so good to be`back sharing this beautiful ministry through this blog. As I write, winter- an unusually mild one-is giving way to spring and the whales are strutting their stuff, playing with their babies and leaping with delight to our delight in the bay. Our class is a month old and the learners are making good progress with their sewing. They have so much to learn to be ready for the December 3 graduation. Evangeline's program in Cape Town includes computer, sewing and English classes. This is part of the skill development we give to the students, most of whom live with HIV and AIDS. We also include a healthy lunch in the days's schedule. Once we learned how hungry the students who came to us were, we realized we needed to offer them something to eat. Along with the physical food we show them God's love and care for them and for the world as we study the Bible, the bread of life. It is always interesting for me to see the change in attitude from the time we start to the conclusion of our study time. It takes some time to cross the language barrier. Almost all speak Xhosa and the Bibles Evangeline gives are Xhosa Bibles but the study is done in English. So far they are involved in the study and
readily answer the questions asked of them. We have a varied class and this is a good challenge.
