What's up with the name?

You might be wondering why this year's outreach is called the Outeniqua Challenge.
You didn't? Well I'm going to tell you anyway.

Down in the Southern Cape (the very south of South Africa) there is a beautiful mountain range called the Outeniqua mountains (pictured in the top of this blogsite). Hence the name! The main city around there is George (the same city where we will be holding our orientation meetings from 2-5 July) but the teams participating in this outreach will be spread out from Swellendam and Oudtshoorn in the west, up to Uniondale in the north, and as far east as Plettenberg Bay. To the south of course is the sea and Antarctica but we couldn't find any towns down there, so we won't be sending teams in that direction.

By the way we have a quote that we are using as the theme for the outreach.
William Carey - "Expect great things from God. Attempt great things for God."

We are all expecting great things from God during the Outeniqua Challenge, and we hope that the participants will be willing to step out of their comfort zones and attempt great things for God!
