Tim Travels To Masoyi, South Africa, '07

For 3 weeks, I will be in South Africa helping an orphan aid organization with urgent construction. Here unfolds the next chapter of my life. Won't you join me?

PROGRESS IN BUILDING

These past two days have been focused on construction. Because of the various tasks required, each different team member is now an expert in laying down plumbing, cement mixing, floor pouring, brick relocation (which is just a glamourous name for a very tedious and mindless job!), building corner finishing and landscaping. The heat has surged in the past couple days, making an already tiring task even more so. Most of the team now eats and goes to sleep right away.

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers. Here are some things to keep thinking about or praying for:
- with the exception of two mild colds, everyone is keeping in good health. No traveller's diarrhea, no malaria, no injuries on the construction site. Please continue to think about/pray for safety for our team.
- we have numerous opportunities to see how AIDS has impacted this community. Think /pray that the team will not forget and will tell their stories to family and friends back in Canada.
- the volunteers here are always under constant constraints from limited financial resources. Discouragement can set in very easily. Think about/pray for how our team can be an encouragement to these dedicated servants.
