This week I served in camps on our base. The first one was our Jam camp, which was for all the teenagers and young adults from our various communities we’ve been discipling. We did a lot of encouraging and hanging out and it was awesome to see the diversity of young people from so many different communities come together. The second camp was a school camp for troubled youth. There were some atheists and a lot of Muslims and it was cool to share with them about what I believe and how that got me to South Africa.
The more I live here, the more I realize the sameness of people. Teenagers from rural villages and white South African suburbs joke around and ask the same questions as teenagers in California do. Substance addicts and the disabled in the townships of Cape Town have the same mannerisms and speak of the same struggles as the homeless of Sacramento do. My eyes have been widened to see how far God’s heart truly reaches.
Today, I’ll be doing some street ministry, followed by a Team 1,000 meeting (we are beginning to organize 1,000 people for ministry during World Cup). I hope this finds you all well! Please let me know what you guys are up to and how I can pray for you, any news from America means so much to me!

Dear Megan,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the updates. It's such a blessing to remember you and pray for you across the planet. I love you and was just reading Isaiah 58 and thought of you. I pray I can follow your beautiful example. I feel so trapped, distracted and deceived by my comfortable life sometimes. I'm so excited to hear more! Thanks for taking the time to share - it is a blessing!
What Chris said. I second that.
