Day 6, April 18th 2009




It was the first day of the week we had more than 5 hours to sleep. The whole of Saturday morning was free so we can wake up a bit later, enjoyed our buffet breakfast before we went shopping. The moment you step out of the nice Parkroyal Hotel, poverty greets you in the face. Just minutes from the Parkroyal and the posh Traders Hotel is a slum hidden behind a high wall, what a contrast. I can still remember how to walk to the market from the hotel. We bought nice cheap T-shirts and some souvenirs before we headed back to the hotel for some "body maintenance" to prepare for the youth service in the evening. It's great to be back at the church worshipping with the youths. God wants the youths to be plugged into Him 24/7 and not just at a camp or major event. He moved in such an amazing, convicting the hearts of the people to keep the fire burning everyday of their lives. After the service, we had a nice dinner and fellowship with the leaders at the J-O stall.
