vision
After being involved with a mission started by friends years ago, Cepull's are grateful for the opportunity to go and see what God is doing in South Africa.
Working with the children at the feeding centers, helping to cook food and distribute it, helping organize the clothing gifted to Life Community and working at the day care are just some of the opportunities they will be exposed to during their visit. What the Lord has prepared for them to do.
Working now in preparing soups, jams and pies to help raise travel, lodging and ministry supply funding, Cindi will be helping us remember the children of South Africa as we enjoy the fruits of her labors.
The weather will be opposite of the northern hemisphere. There is incredible proverty, disease, alcoholism and growing AIDS crisis.
We can partner in this adventure—with our prayers before and during this lengthy journey. Prayer for: raising necessary funds, safety in travel, safety in housing and physical exposure to disease that is not the norm in our environment, compassion expressed that will bring glory to God and unforgetable experiences to bring back to us.
