"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."- Jeremiah 1:5

In one week I will be boarding a plane and heading back to Africa for the 4^th time. Only this time I will be heading to the coast. I will be serving in Jeffreys Bay (J-Bay), South Africa until Christmas. Currently there are about 50 college age students going through missions training in J-Bay. They have been there since September.  My main goal will be to serve the staff there. They are very busy and it is my hope to be able to serve them and help make daily life a little easier. I am also looking forward to getting to know the college students there and having the opportunity to pour into them. I am excited to get to serve, be reunited with friends and get to enjoy the beauty of God's creation in J-Bay.

I have never been to J-Bay, but I am continually told that it is not the Africa I am used to. J-Bay is very modern and in many ways like America. It is a mix of extreme wealth and extreme poverty. J-Bay is a surfing city and vacation destination but also a place where poverty and AIDS runs rampant. I am looking forward to seeing this new side of the continent that I love so much. Africa is my heart, and I am excited to have my feet on African soil once again.

I leave on Nov. 9 and will return Dec. 21. I should have good Internet access while in J-Bay so I plan to update my blog regularly. Thank you so much to everyone who follows this ministry. Please pray for good health and traveling safety while in Africa as South Africa can be very dangerous. Also, please continue to pray for God's guidance and will for my life as I seek to follow Him for my future. Your prayers and comments of encouragement are huge blessings to me. Please keep them coming!  Next stop: Jeffreys Bay, South Africa!

For His Glory,

Caroline :)
