Jerrod Runkel’s Africa Blog

Hello everybody!!  It has been forever since i have updated so I figured I better do it. These last few days have been awesome!!  God has been doing great things and we are expecting even greater things.

Last weekend the Davis’, the other aimers, and I went into downtown JoBurg into a place called Braamfontein to have church at Pastor Mpofu’s church and we had an amazing time. Braamfontein is a part of Hillbrough which the most dangerous peace of real estate in the world. On Friday night Bro. Davis preached and he tore it up! He talked about all the Xenophobic violence and how the Holy Ghost has our back and it was a great message. At the sunday school camp the next morning Matt, Brandi, and I taught a mornign devotion to 112 kids that stayed over at the church that night.  We acted out some stories and talked to them about the Holy Ghost and had an awesome time of prayer at the end. Then after the devotion we all went otu to the park and played games and had a Braai and Bro. Davis’ done a little sermon for the kids. Saturday night we went back to the church and Pastor Freeman preached a good message. 

On Tuesday and Wednesday we went downtown to pass out tracts in the downtown Alberton. WE have currently passed out about 4,000 tracts, but we have a ton of more work to do!

Thursday night we went to cell group and had a good time of fellowship.

Today we went to a Roodekop ext. 2 and passed out tracts. After we where there for about 1 hour until we realized that a funeral was going on.  Im pretty sure we are going to go back sometime soon and try to get a few bible studies.  But while we were there this woman got off of a taxi and her hands we so full she started to drop things so I asked her if I could help her carry some of her groceries to her house and she said yes. Even though it was just a little thing I couldn’t stop smiling cause i knew I had helped someone and I knew that that’s what it was all about!

Well I will update more often. Everybody have a good day, God Bless!!
