The Page family
"We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all God’s people." (Paul - Col 1:3-4)
This is the way I think and pray for this family which set up a really high gage in gathering God's people around them and love them in the most natural way. They share almost everything with others, there is no difference between mine and yours. They are not perfect but still great examples of how they try to be more and more like Jesus.
Jessica Bowen
Mamma mia! Who has ever thought that 3 weeks could be so full of laughter, honesty, happy moments, cries, late night hours, wet clothes, movies, chips and chocolates, sentences started accidentally in Hungarian, paintings, seeing things in the clouds and of course copying everything I say with a Hungarian accent... :D God gives so abundantly that I just simply overflow...
Jess was our offical and professional summer camp photographer. "She is at ease as much as a flake." (I have a hard time to translate myself... all these slangs I use....) I am really thankful for her how God worked in me through her: she eased me, recalled the joy of the painting, showed me how to remain a woman even in the ministry and we became simple friends.
We hope and pray that she may come back to South Africa again and meet in Hungary as well! :)
Hillbrow
This is the heart of Johannesburg (In the 1970s it was an Apartheid-designated 'whites only' area but soon became a 'grey area', where people of different ethnicities lived together. The lack of investment led to an exodus of middle class residents so today the majority of the residents are migrants from the township, rural areas and the rest of Africa.). What I cannot reflect with any words, any pictures is the music of the city (others say noise), the dirt and mess everywhere... and of course the faces... Well, Hillbrow is in my daily Prayer Journal...
