runnin on

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.... Hebrews 12:1

What awesome words from Paul that are even encouraging me today as I aim to finish well here in Johannesburg.

Here is a photo from an outreach just a couple weeks back in a less fortunate community in Joburg called Brixton. We ran a soccer clinic and I shared my testimony to the kids of how i came to faith. It was a great time and we are looking to build a partnership with these people and get our UJ athletes out there to reach out to the community more frequently.

  1. that's SUCH a great idea to pull together a mini reunion in DC. let's be honest, it will be a late celebration of your birth. dec. 14- i've marked it down. i'll spread the word to the vaughans (who are having a baby in january, do you know this?), the christensens, smalls, and e. lynott. who else?

    What an AWESOME verse for us all, thank you for sharing Andrew! Your service to the Lord is both steadfast and unwavering which is an inspiration to us all. Continue on your journey serving the Lord and know that you have people back in your homeland who love you and pray for you.

    "All you may need He will provide
    God will take care of you;
    Nothing you ask will be denied,
    God will take care of you."

    May Peace Be With You, Emily
