GET OUT!

Today the big day has arrived as we wrap up the orientation part of the Outeniqua Challenge. From 2pm the 44 teams will be fetched by their churches and start working in the communities. Everyone is quite excited to see what the next 9 days have in store and we will be keeping you up to date with the stories of the individual teams.

OM's slogan is "transforming lives and communities" and we certainly hope that God will use us to do just that in the Southern Cape. Yesterday we learned a lot about the needs in the area. Things like the huge inequality between rich and poor, the abuse that is happening under the youth and within families and even the struggle of finding work in one of the fastest growing cities in the country.

Continue to pray for safety as our participants move out and pray for opportunities to bring the love of God and the hope He gives us, to these communities.
