it's a new day

we got to do home visits today to spend some time with the AIDS patients Ethembeni supports. we brought them food and read the bible and prayed with them. it was the first time i’ve ever been in any of these people’s homes. i’ve lived with them and talked to them and played with their children but i’d never seen where or how they lived until today. the homes were small- mostly just two room places filled with old furniture, with the floors covered in peeling wall paper. they were all so excited to welcome us in. the Zulu people are overwhelmingly gracious.

it was real. these people are facing real things. the restrictions of poverty, disease, and demons. there are major issues to wrestle and addictions to tear down in this community- in all communities- but we have a powerful God.
