Durban: Week Four

We are officially down to only one week left! I cannot believe that our time here is already coming to a close, it seems like we just got here yesterday. Due to fact that I am running extremely low on internet time this morning, this update will be short (until I can buy more internet minutes). However, I will be filling in details that I have missed as soon as we get back in the States!

This past weekend, we ventured to the Valley of 1000 Hills and got to see the traditional Zulu dancers as they preformed a typical marriage dance/ courting dance. The students really loved it and it was a great way to spend our free Saturday. On Sunday, we all were able to attend our first Zulu church service. Although the services are about 3-4 hours long, and all in Zulu, thanks to individual interpreters we really enjoyed the services and getting to meet members of Anele's church!

This whole week we have been on the Westville campus of the Universtity of Kwa-Zulu Natal. We have spent the week doing outreaches everyday by asking a different question to the campus each day: What is sin? What is grace? What is love? In addition to the outreach, we have been going across campus sharing the gospel with students and discipling students we have met. The Lord has been doing amazing work this week and we have seen several people come to Christ because of His work through us! We have had the opportunity to talk with and share the gospel with Shembe followers, Hindus, Muslims, etc. It has been a trying week but an incredible week! God is so good.

Today, we will be attending the weekly Crusade meeting on campus and discussing the topic "What is love?" Paul Meyer, a staff member with us on our trip, will be speaking to the students about God's love and what it means for those who follow Christ. Please continue to pray for the advancement of the gospel on this campus and the growth of the Crusade movement here!
