then LUNCH
Hey Harry, can you pull off a 6-7 hour service?
I can hardly wait for this experience. IT has been proven to me (see Aliwal North post) how important it is to spend time with these people here. Our presence has helped to build bridges between the URCSA and DRC -- In fact our B&B host and his daughters are going to church with us this Sunday at Evanton Nord and will also join us this at Maranatha.
Sorry I'm not able to add any pictures. Doug Houck and Team

Greetings, Doug and our other traveling mates! I want to pass on to you, Doug, how greatly appreciated you postings to the blog are. You are showing us the emotion and passion that experiences in South Africa generate. The honesty and impact of your experiences shines through. Way to go! Dawn and I only wish we were there sharing this time with you. John V. has been terrific as well, rushing up to me in the narthex and pusing the latest print off of your blog into my hand. There is a buzz about the church regarding all you are experiencing. May the Lord keep you all safe and continue to reveal Jesus in all the people you will see and visit with. Thank you for your extraordinary effort in our behalves!!
