a quick jaunt to South Africa

Stamped: 1:46 PM

So Wednesday afternoon I found out I was headed to South Africa this past weekend. Cool. Hence the lack of posts. I returned on Wednesday afternoon, feeling great, and with a renewed passion for the work we're doing over there, and the team we're partnered with. The purpose of the trip was taking over about 5,000 Polaroid pics of folks who are apart of our church, so that within the context of our partnership we might be known by the people over there, and specifically to have them engage in some serious prayer over the consumeristic mindset that pervades basically everything we do.

So I'll write more details about the trip in a later post, but the facts are as follows. All pics got delivered, I got some quality time with our family over there (see this post), got some serious encouragement, and just generally felt renewed. It was awesome. Here's a picture I shoot of someone praying over one of our folks. Yea, those are tears. Many were crying. Our church will forever be different because of this.
