A team from Toronto arrived yesterday. It was great to see Solomon
again. We finished making frames for a preschool building today.
Helen and Wendy are working on translating the proper language in
guiding children to Xhosa and we will start using it during the Sunday
school in Zola. It will be our first practical step in implementing
Montessori in townships.
Auto Mechanic Ministry's first six-month-course will end in July.
Please pray
for a constructive evaluation, so we can grow further as a ministry.

Dear
families
in
Christ,
Even though we live more than 40 kms away from Table Mountain, I
can see the sun sets behind it every evening. Last week, I went up to
the top for the first time. Helen hiked up with guests from African
Leadership USA, and Abohna and I went up by a cable car. It was quite
foggy on the top, so it was not easy to see anything.
However, every time I could look through the fog, the view was
breathtaking.
That is maybe how we are. If we desire and are patient enough to see
the good in each
other, we will see how beautiful God's creation is every time we
look.
With
love,
Abohna,
Helen
and
Jung BIBLE
MUSIC
CAMP
During the World Cup break, we
opened a one week Bible Music Camp for the children in the community.
It was a meaningful time. Children learned praise songs and made their
own
Noah's Ark story book. It was great to witness the children having a
great time together regardless of their age, color, sex and
religious background. When they prayed together, our hearts melted
like snow melted in Africa. They all had another thing in common. They
all
need Jesus' love through us. ZOLA
BIBLE
STUDY
From the left,
they are Afika, Cynthia, Portia, John, Tozeka, and Mxolisi. Gift and
David went to Paal and could not join us today. After the Bible
study,
I showed them my friend Mike's self-portrait that he drew for his
graduation
piece. He drew it with 287,945 small and large dots and took him months
to complete it. He counted every single dot he drew. To see it, click here.
I
asked
the
group
what
Mike would have done if I tried to smudge it
with my spit. They said he would beat me. I told them that that is how
God
feels when someone tries to smudge their lives with "spit", because
they are His precious creations. We will be
working with this group for the next six months. Please pray for us, so
we can help them realize how precious they are in Christ. DAVID'S
HOPE
This is David. He hangs around
near our house and makes a living off tips for watching and washing
parked cars. When we just moved to Strand, he washed our car and since
then we have been helping him out here and there. I was on my way home
from
Zola yesterday, when he jumped in front of my car and yelled, "Mr.
Jung. I
have a great news." He showed me an acceptance letter from Learn to
Earn for carpentry training in Khayelitsha. Learn to Earn is a
great mission organization that provides job skills. Just last week, I
had a chance to see their ministry for the first time. It is located
down the street from African Leadership's base in Khayelitsha. It is a
six month course and a local pastor already paid for the courses for
him. He
couldn't stop thanking God and he had hope in his voice. I will be
visiting
him at the school on Monday and I pray that he can turn his life around
with this opportunity.
10
YEAR
ANNIVERSARY
We had a meeting to schedule
short term teams that are coming this year. I don't recall all the
teams (there are so many), but the first team is from Toronto and they
have just
arrived. My home church's (Vancouver Korean Presbyterian Church) team
will
arrive on August 12th. I will be guiding the team. It reminded me when
I came to South Africa for the first time in August 2000. Seven
of us came and it was a life changing experience for me. I found this
picture from Pastor Ohm's stack of pictures. Actually, 2 of the local
people in
the
picture have passed away since then, Eunice and Maxwell. I miss my
team.
May be
someone from this year's team will serve in Africa in 10 years like me?
I thank those who prayed for us and supported us 10 years
ago.
