Our time at Nelspruit was wonderful and put us close to the wildlife that lived around the campsite area. We enjoyed some beautiful early morning runs down to the lake where we saw zebras, kudus and wildebeasts. What an amazing spot for trail running! During some of our classes we also got to see zebras, wildebeasts and ostriches roaming outside! Now that’s not something we see everyday.

Speaking of classes, during the 3 weeks, we sat under some great teaching from Surpresa (Surprise) and Tryphina Sitole, Rolland Baker, Sean Feucht, Tineke and Amy Lancaster. They were all amazing in their own right, but the stand out for us was ‘Miss Amy’ – 4 sessions with her wrecked us, and we had our faith so much more stretched through testimony and outright challenge to believe the bible at face value. Wow! I remember thinking after Amy’s first session was “Wow, I have so much more flesh to die”

Outreach took place in a community 1.5hrs drive from camp where tent revival meetings were taking place. We were involved in the Thursday night meeting, stayed overnight in a mama’s rural village and then ministered the next day as well as be involved in the Friday night meeting. This was an incredible experience simply because we had time to form relationships with the locals and have subsequently kept in touch with them.
We met people with the following names ….. Precious, Confidence, Excellent, Promise, Adjacent, Respect, Enough, Surprise, Delight and Happiness. What amazing and literal names.
Our time at Nelspruit ended with a 2-day safari to Kruger National Park, which was incredible. Keep your eyes peeled for that post next.
