Sightseeing Day for Lausanne Delegates

Despite the fact that it rained off and on, we had a delightful day driving down the Cape peninsula on a route that resembles the pictures I’ve seen of the Big Sur drive in California. We stopped at the lighthouse at the southern tip where you stare out to sea and realize the next land mass is Antartica! The cliffs plunge hundreds of feet into the sea, the waves crash onto rocky shores interspersed with beautiful beaches (the water is really cold, we are told), and the land is dotted with many beautiful spring flowers in bloom. We snapped pictures of wild ostriches and cute little penguins. Our driver/guide was a lovely Christian lady with a heartwarming testimony of how God has freed her from bondage to fear and given her a happy heart and a joy in sharing the beautiful area with tourists who visit. It was a relaxing day, and a needed change of pace between intense days of meetings.
Please pray for me tomorrow. Since there were no breakout sessions on church mobilization among the several hundred offerings, I have gotten permission to gather interested people during dinner tomorrow night. I have no idea if the information will be circulated in any fashion or if anyone will come, but I hope that we can gather at least a few people for the discussion.
