Notes from the Road AND (Still) Travelling Tuesday: Jeffrey’s Bay, SA

May 11, 2010 Travel..ling Tuesdays

Well, we’re still pounding the African pavement — but only figuratively speaking, Mr. Potato Head is doing all the hard work.

I had the privilege of washing some beautiful feet, some tiny ones and some big ones, and praying for God’s plans to come to pass in the lives of some precious children.

I Have Three Gabillion Stories to Tell You

April 15, 2010 South Africa

Guys and gals! I mean it! I have three gabillion stories to tell you. We had our first shoe distribution today in a township not too far from the Muizenberg section of Cape Town called Overcome Heights. It’s a very poor area where some 6,000 people just showed up and built a settlement in three [...]
