Hippo Lakes Day Four

We were greeted this morning with 2 male and one female nyala across the lake from our tent.

After breakfast, we began this morning with a devotional by Hein. Hein is the Chaplain for the TEN campus. Hein spoke on: How does God speak to us? From Hebrews 1:1-2.

Martin made an announcement that a fire had started on the property near the Lediba Homestead. We prayed for the workers who were fighting the fire.

After a short break, some of the pastors who are here this week shared about how they are using TEN materials.

Moses is from Uganda and works with Canada School Partnership to get TEN materials into churches.

Next we heard from Samuel and Brian. It was wonderful to hear an expanded presentation about their efforts to get TEN materials into the schools.

Samuel and Brian were followed by Lorentz LaGrange who works with the Pentacostal Churches.

We had another break. I was feeling a bit unwell so I skipped the rest of the morning session and lunch. I went back to the tent to grab some medicine. I ended up taking a quick nap before Bob joined me for some down time.

Bob told me that while I was resting, the pastor from India made his presentation. After our recent trip to India and the fact that our dear friends, David and BJ Lawson, worked for many years as missionaries to India, I was sorry to miss this presentation. I am hoping that I will have the opportunity to speak with this pastor sometime this week.

Bob and I headed back to the lodge for dinner.

The wind had significantly picked up. Those fighting were on our minds and in our prayers. We found out the the Lediba Homestead was safe and the fire had turned and is now burning the neighbor's farm.

After dinner, we listened to the Dare to Dream lesson again. Bob and I have continued to discuss the direction for our future.

The schedule for the morning was a 6:00 AM departure for Table Top. We were to watch the sunrise and have breakfast there. Because so many of the staff were fighting the fire and would probably be at it all night, Martin and Stephan decided to change the schedule. We would have breakfast at the lodge

We then walked to the lakeside lodge and sat around a fire and chatted with fellow guests.

It was almost midnight before we got to bed.Read more
