Fresh blood....

We have a new volunteer! After 2months of nail biting and worrying, and wondering what we are going to do when the schools start coming in and we need to offer full programming, we finally have a third team member! God is good! I often think He sits up in heaven in a mixture of frustration and amusement wondering why we can't just trust Him! He has said very plainly on MANY occasions that he will provide all our needs, that he will look after us, that he only wants good things for us and that the faithful shall be blessed! Yet still we try and take control of everything and in doing so realise how rubbish we are and start worrying!
So anyway, Siya has joined our team, on a 3 month contract for now. He's a really nice guy- very much trying to keep God in the centre of his life, he said 'I try to keep busy because, as my mother always says, you should keep busy because Satan finds things to keep you busy if you don't keep yourself busy', a Xhosa version of 'The Devil makes work for idle hands'. So anyhow, I think it'll be cool to have him on the team and I'm looking forward to Siya teaching me more Xhosa!
