One of the duties I'll have in South Africa is teaching a group of girls how to play recorder. More specifically, I'll be teaching a group of about 15 girls, ranging in age from 14 to 16. Daily (hopefully) we'll be working together, with the end goal being an opportunity for them to lead worship at the Capricorn Community Church. Kendra tells me these girls are lacking in self-confidence and are really looking forward to learning.
I am so excited to meet them. I'm so thankful to share my testimony with them! I love them already.
The video below speaks about how you can pray for the Capricorn community. Their needs are endless, I'm sure. Many people have asked me how they can pray. I've wondered how I can pray. Mostly I've just been saying, 'Thank you, God, for this opportunity. I'm so excited.' 'Pray big' is one phrase from the video that is sticking with me. I want my prayers to be for the big things, because I know my God can do it.
One thing I've prayed for my Leaders in Training (LIT) kids here in KCK is that they would have options in life. I pray they will work hard in school and understand that they CAN get good grades, go to college, and have a fulfilling career doing something they love. Even if it means taking out loans, or going to community college, I want them to know they have options. Maybe I can relate with the kids in Capricorn.
