Greetings in the name of our Lord! We are all well and fine, despite the flu scare.
Last year in November, I met Rusty Draper from Chancey Rd Christian Church in Florida. I am usually hosted by Walt and Bea Mielke who live south of Zephyrhills and they introduced me to many other Christians. Rusty was one of them. He made it known that he was a mission-minded man and wanted to visit the work in South Africa. I have usually had such requests and told Rusty that if he could make it across two oceans, he would be more than welcome.
I met Rusty again at the Cape Town International Airport.
He had flown from Brazil back to London and then to South Africa – a giant right hook that kept him awake for over fifty hours! He had an afternoon to shower and relax. The next day was Sunday and I introduced Rusty to the African refugee church. Most of these Christians are Congolese but a few come from Burundi and Ruwanda. Pastor Kiku is their minister and I have taught there many times. One of Rusty’s ministries is southern gospel music and he sang one of these songs to the congregation, listening to the music on his CD player as he sang. They were astounded, having never heard music like this! For the next two Sundays, Rusty used his talent so well. [click to continue…]
