WEC Conference

Last month (April 3-7) we had the WEC Annual Conference, where all the missionaries which are a part of WEC working in South Africa come together. It was such a great time for me, just to see people that I had met before here, and to meet new people.

We had times of laughter.. especially at the "Fun Night". Here is bobbing for apples....

And this is the children doing a dance to some music off a CD. It was too cute!

And the classic... Kareoke!!

Dione and I had the blessing of being a part of the worship team and playing with the main speaker, Elfi. She and her husband, Hans, are from Switzerland and were missionaries in Gambia. They were a very special couple.

This is Elfi and Hans. Lots of time was spent praying for WEC and all the different ministries WEC does in South Africa and for personal needs. This is Ameila, a very precious lady. She is Irish and so great and makes everyone around her laugh... and her absolute favorite topic is discuss with anyone is marriage/relationships/etc.. haha, she calls herself The Match Maker.

Lots of time to hang out with friends and to make new ones...And, alas! Another fellow Canadian! This is Amanda. She married a guy from Zimbabwe, Sipho, and now they are living there and starting up a children's ministry. They are such an amazing couple. They are living in this tiny little house.. well, not really a house, looks like a little shed, no electricity, no running water... and yet they are so happy and joyful and the Lord is in their hearts very much.
Then Dione, Judy, Sofia and I got to see some AFRICAN ANIMALS! It was amazing. I still haven't seen an giraffee or an elephant yet.. but soon.. very soon :)

The beautiful African skies.

So ya, the conference was really great and it was so fun to just be able to get a break from the mission and just to see what God is doing around the rest of South Africa. Please continue to pray for the people's of Africa and that God's people would continue to bring others to Him.

Cheers,
