It’s a very quaint town just east of the popular resort town of Swakopmund, which sits on the beautiful coast of Namibia. When we arrived we were greeted by Pastor Titus and several young men who helped us unpack our car. My colleague, Annelies and myself brought Choose to Wait books, handouts for the sessions, our laptops, a projector and various other items used in this kind of ourtreach.
My personal favorite attendee was a 71 year old “Ooma” (grandmother) who attended with her great-granddaughter. She was nodding, and participating the entire time and even added scripture and biblical principles to compliment what we were saying. SHE encouraged ME! Her last comment to me was, “We need to bring this message to every young person and every home, even mothers and grandmothers need to hear this.” Of course, I gave her my blessing to share what she learned with other women and girls, and I do believe that she will. As we said our goodbyes, we were asked when we could return. This is such a common response to these outreaches. I cannot give a certain answer, of course. My only response must be, “We will see. Perhaps the Lord will make a way for us to come again.”
