Thank God for music. We had three guitar players and an amazing session of heartfeltly sung simple worship songs before we started the actual class. Whatever our circumstances, music can make such a difference.
Fraser is still struggling with the difficulties of setting up a new library system for Mukhanyo Theological College. The amount of remedial work involved is now starting to impact some of his day-to-day work for other colleges. Pray he finds a way to manage everyone’s expectations and that he’d be able to communicate what he needs from Mukhanyo in a very clear way which they will understand and fulfil.
Pray for one of the men at the Medium A Bible study. He was sexually assaulted by a member of staff at a different prison and is being encouraged to make a case which he has reservations about. Pray for healing, courage and wisdom. Unless offences are challenged and brought into the light there will be no change, whether in the prison system or country at large, but it requires courage to do so.
Unless we hear from the Department of Home Affairs by this Friday (March 31st) we will have to leave the country the following week. The men at Drakenstein prison are praying and have faith that all will be sorted out. Thank God that he holds our future, even when we aren’t sure where we’ll be.
