Today was the official beginning of the Pilgrimage to South Africa as we all joined together for the first time. There are a total of 36 pilgrims from 6 different nations, ranging from Germany, Nigeria, & Albania to Australia, South Africa, & Canada. Each one of us got to experience a bit of South African hospitality as we were welcomed to Johannesburg and to the start of the pilgrimage.
Marty Woods kicked us off with the Short School of Mission, leading us through why we are here and an overview of our time here. In our journaling time we had a look at some background information of South Africa and inspirational figures like Nelson Mandela, Ghandi & Desmond Tutu. We finished the night watching the amazing movie ‘Invictus’, which follows the story of Mandela as he brings the nation together through the game of rugby.

Have fun. Carpe diem! Seize every moment in every day. May God bless you with memories that will last lifetime.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being there. I'll be cheering you people on more than the Aussie soccer team.
It took a major effort and sacrifice to be there.
Love from the Lewis's at Perth.
