ACTS 4:20
“For I cannot help but speak of what I have seen and heard!“

Proverbs
25:25

AYOBA!
“Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far
country.”
I
am
unsure
of
how
I
am
going
to
convey
how
great
this
past
month
was.

This
was
definitely
my
favorite
month
in
South
Africa,
and
could
quite

possibly
be
one
of
my
favorite
months
of
my
life.
So
much
has
happened
and

from
start
to
finish
it
has
been
AMAZING!

how
