Hope and hardship in Khetani Township, South Africa

Friends, we have had a wonderful and moving first week in South Africa. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.  Please click here and take a look at Becky's recent post about a specific visit we had to a township in KwaZulu-Natal. I preach tomorrow here in Tarkastaad in the Eastern Cape at a Presbyterian church. God's peace and sala kahle,

Rob & Becky

South Africa - Ubunye Fellowship

Friends,

Becky and I will be in South Africa on a mission partnership pastoral exchange between our Presbytery of Boston and the Amatola Presbytery of South Africa from July 13-Sept 1. We are deeply grateful for this opportunity to serve the church and learn from others in different contexts as to how church is "being done" and responding to real community needs. Here is a map of the general area. Queenstown is one of the places we will be hosted in a church member's home. I will be preaching at 3 host churches and visiting church gardens, HIV/AIDS clinics, and other projects.  We fly into East London on the coast. We will keep Watershed and FPCW in our prayers while gone - and look forward to swapping stories upon return. We may post some photos/ updates here as able (not sure of internet availability). Peace be with you, Rob & Becky
