Hermanus


The weekend in Hermanus is over. We left to Hermanus with twelve teenagers and five helpers. Freinds of the church have got two houses there which they offer church groups to use for free. We all had a great time, but now I am quite tired.

I tried to sleep in the room with all the nine boys. Obviously they found it hard to be quiet after a certain time. Impossible. Considering that some of them come from difficult backgrounds might help me to have a soft heart for them, but it didn't help me to sleep. Looking back I have to laugh about the flying shoes, pillow fights and music through cell phones non-stop.

Besides playing billards and table tennis we learnt about the bible. It was about the red thread that goes through it – God's creation, man's sin and God's plan of salvation. The boys are loved and God is faithful! I hope they will remember that.
