Adopt-A-Family
By on July 6, 2009
A few weeks ago our Twenty4Seven interns began a new type of ministry that we’re calling our Adopt-a-Family project. For the next six weeks on Thursdays and Fridays our interns are helping a family near Intabazwe build a house from scratch. Starting with dirt and cow pies (smashed dung), they are learning how to make the bricks, construct the house, and traditionally decorate the exterior through the process of litema (”dee-tay-ma”- texturizing and painting the mud exterior).
The task is great but our interns are prepared to see it through to completion! They are continually eager to work and they are demonstrating their servant hearts. Our interns have an amazing opportunity to show, not just share, Christ with this family through their hours of physical labor. So far it has been an amazing experience for them all- and their experience of living in S. Africa has just gone to the next level!
