Wow, as of right now, 18 people have replied that they wish to stay in Africa over Christmas break. There are 51 people including the staff. And we were just told that, at max, there will be room for 20.
I think this is something that the team should start praying about.
Pray for…the AIM staff to decide what to do in the situation, either the funds for people to afford to fly home or a place for everyone to stay in SA, and most importantly that God’s plan for Christmas break will be fulfilled and not our own.
was i counted in that? because i think i’ll have to stay…unless by some miracle money comes in…
i completely agree with this.
i was praying about this, because all of the spots are already full, and what i heard after i was done praying is what jesus said to the rich young man who wanted to follow jesus: “sell everything you have and follow me”. this might not be an option for some of you, but it could possibly help a lot of you. really, im not going to need most of the stuff i have right now in africa, and they are things that i could just buy again or get a better version of when i get home, so its something my parents and i are both seriously considering.
hopefully this helps some of you.
WOW that is a great idea Faith! I’m definitely doing that.
