We spent the day meeting with Dennis Wadley of Bridge of Hope and we all agree this is an amazing ministry. He is making definite changes in one of the largest townships here. He is raising up community leaders and help people in the township start small businesses. We visited two other nearby townships that have not had much access yet that we are considering for future trips. As usual, heartbreaking conditions with amazing spiritual wealth. That same high contrast we have seen on every trip.
The flights were all very easy with no delays or problems. Driving has been full of delays. When we were driving to Pretoria to meet with Hein Van Wyk we sat in traffic for three hours as a truck had overturned across all lanes. There has been a major accident with traffic on many of our key trips, but it has not held us back any. Prayer for clear traffic would be helpful.
We met briefly with Paul of OC International yesterday. We will be working with him in Soweto when we return to Johannesburg. We are looking forward to that.
Our meeting with Hein Van Wyk of Hope For Africa was not as productive as we had hoped, but he is a true visionary and made us think of things we had never considered. A significant blessing at the beginning of our trip to force us into asking some very difficult questions. That has lead us to think in different terms with all our other meetings.
Tomorrow we have another full day with Bridges of Hope.
Have to go. Bridges has Internet access, but it has been hard to get the time.
