jumbogerber - A joyous celebration

Hallo friends. Kriek here. I know ..... it has been a while.

This morning we were part of the opening of the new church building at Enaleni Church and carepoint. This church was started a few years ago in faith by Pastor Langa. (He is one amazing man of God!) Up until last year they worshipped in this little building:

Today they had the wonderful opportunity to dedicate their new building! It was a very big day for this congregation. The day started with a march down the gravel road to the new building; they even had a band from one of the schools in town! Watching the people marching, singing and laughing moved me to tears. This was God's faithfulness in action!

Part of this big excitement was the presence of Pastor Todd from Riverwood Church, Canada. Through Children's HopeChest Riverwood Church sponsors the carepoint at Enaleni and they are also partnering with the church. I have been enjoying watching this partnership between a local church and a church from overseas.

The rest of the service was full of singing and speeches and then Pastor Todd shared the message. Then of course came the big eating! On Thursday a cow was slaughtered for this big day; so from early this morning the ladies started cooking a really nice meal.

Of course we had Clara with us. For me it was amazing to sit in an African church and worship God together as a family. I just love soaking in the praises of God's people and it is my desire to raise Clara in it as well. It is our prayer as parents that she will love the Lord with all her heart, that she will love serving Him and that God will use her mightily in His Kingdom.
