Our last week at the Footprints base was predominantly classes teaching on the Father’s Heart by Steve and Sandra Long – Pastors of the Catch the Fire church, Toronto, Canada. It was great teaching and similar to the teaching we’ve had in our fellowship back home. Yay God!
Another standout while still at Footprints base was Caroline the young base leader from Madagascar who, by her own admission, has no idea how to – organise anything, manage a base, manage staff or volunteers. Yet she saw horrific visions of babies being left to die in dumpsters and God told her this was happening in Madagascar. So she packed up her life and moved some years ago and now has a thriving base with many children who have never missed a meal despite very little financial backing. God simply shows up and makes things happen. It is an excellent example of simple and total faith.
Caroline is a wonderful testimony that we don’t have to be anyone, have any relevant skills, or need pre committed support. God likes to show His power and sovereignty only needing a yielded heart that says “here I am Lord”. Caroline is so down to earth and British, we would just love for everyone to meet her.
On 18th October we left Footprints base and set off for Nelspruit. Our teachers here have been amazing and our involvement in community has increased. We will break up the posts so this isn’t too much of a novel. 🙂
