Searching for truth and purpose....

I have spent this past week searching, seeking, listening to God.
Asking myself and God questions about what my purpose is here, how am
I going to be effective for HIS purposes.

As I have mentioned before, I am involved with a community called
Capricorn, which is a coloured township situated 2 km away from my
home. I have felt God prompting me to minister within this community,
with simple home church, bible studies, teen/child groups.

At the bible study held today, we were talking about working within
God's will, listening to Him and TRULY being in a deep relationship
with Jesus Christ.
I want to know Christ more and more each and every new day.
I want to fully rely on Him and not subscribe to my own set of
preconceived notions.

So in saying that, I'm praying as to what EXACTLY God would want to
use me for here. I still feel stirred to work within Capricorn, but I
NEED God to be my guide, my eyes, my ears, my words, my everything.

Please pray that I will be a humble servant.
That I would follow God into whatever He would have me do here.

Thank you

Jonathan

ps. I have a cell phone that has free incoming, so if you would like
to call, email me back and we'll set up a time to chat.

Back in South Africa

I've made it safe.

8 seperate flights,
3 countries,
60 hours of traveling,
6 in air movies,
6 single serve meals,
I've arrived.

Still jet lagged and not sure what time zone my body is actually on at the moment, feels nothing but right to be back in the place God has called me to serve.

My regular email is not working at the moment due to SLOW South African internet. If you are receiving this message, please pass it along to anyone you think would be interested in hearing i'm safe and sound.

Thank you.

I'm heading to Namibia on Sunday, and will be back on Sat. Please pray for safety for the 20 hour bus ride, and that me, Layne and Jaylene will be a blessing to the people there.

I won't be able to check my email all week, but write me if you can and I'll be sure to write back as soon as I'm back.

Thank you for being a part of my journey.

Jonathan
