I knew before coming to Cape Town that this would be a life changing mission trip. I knew this, not only because of the location and culture, but also because I would be spending time with the Trout family. I already knew they were an amazing couple. That was completely confirmed during my time within their home. Daily they seek ways that Christ is going to use them. From planned programs, to ministering to local ministries and pastors, to spontaneous conversations they are sharing Christ with this world. I was blown away by how many ministries and pastors they support and shepherd. We also were blessed to spend time with their son Yani, who is very involved with the local HillSong Church here.
The beauty of Cape Town is overwhelming. The people are hospitable and warm. There is a major need for missionaires here as well. I was amazed at how our present brought light to so many people. After two days I was already thinking about my next trip to Cape Town, with the hope to bring the youth or have a family mission trip from Orange. There would be a lot for us to do!
This is a beautiful country found in both the landscape and people. I can't wait to return with Orange UMC one day! Please pray for me as I travel home and get rest before heading to Jamaica with the High School Youth Group next week!
