Our time here in Port Elizabeth is coming to an end very quickly.  It's hard to believe we only have 12 days left of normal ministries. With such a short time left, the team is making goals and taking another look at their ministries to see what they can do before it is all over and have to say good-bye.  Please pray that the students will go into ministry these last few days. They still want to see lives changed for the Lord. It's such a short time, but God can still do so much! The hardest thing to convince the people we build relationships with over the months is that just because we leave, doesn't mean that Jesus leaves with us.

The first week of April we have spring break.  We are going on another outreach with the LXP team to Lesotho. We will be doing another program (Beat the Drum program teaching abstinence.) in the schools like we did last year.  We are very excited for this opportunity that God has given us. We will be there from April 25th-May 2nd.  Please pray for opportunities to share the gospel as well with the people of this town.

We have a girl from our team that has decide to stay here in Port Elizabeth permanently. She is very excited and will be staying and working in the church we are involved in. She believes this is God's calling on her life. 

The past 9 weeks have probably been the hardest weeks of my life.  I was thinking today about the person I was when I came on this trip. I know God has challenged me to rely more on Him. God has called us to a higher standard of living. Our team has been fighting though so much spiritual warfare. The team has leaned so much from each other during this time. We have spent a lot of time on our faces praying, asking and begging for the Lord to change our hearts and our lives. It's funny in life how we grow weary trying to always reach the goal set before us, but when we take that moment to look back on where we have come from, we are often surprised at how far we have already come.

We're doing another book for Discipleship, called "Don't Waste Your Life" by John Piper.  He says "It was not always plain to me that pursuing God's glory would be virtually the same as pursuing joy. Now I see that millions of people waste their lives because they think these paths are two and not one." Which is so true if you think about it. We think I'll do this for me, then I do something to glorify God with my day. But that's now how it should be. Everything we do or say should glorify God! 

I am still in need of about $2,000 to cover the cost of this trip. So, if you feel led, please continue to support me!

For His Kingdom,
