It's been a true gift to spend time with Em. Last Friday night we again went out to eat together. Em shared much of her story and ways God has spoken to her. It is quite moving. Sat night we went to her apartment, ate pizza & heard more of her story. Sun a.m. we listed to Em play keyboard for the praise team in her church. After church, the congregation played field day games & gobbled down lots of pizza while visiting.
Mon a.m. we were surrounded by HS students who'd failed their exit test as Em inspired them with her words, rapping & singing. And Mon pm we relaxed together in her pool under the stars. Tuesday another dinner & rich conversation. Em's friends & co-workers often joined us giving us the opportunity to hear about their lives.
Em is vibrant, focused, talented, an enthusiastic lover of God on a mission to soften the hearts of the youth here...so they too will love God & be the force that makes Botswana a better country. Em & her friends' truly solid & deep faith is admirable. God is not abstract or distant but personal & internal to them. The love of God glows & pours out of them.
It has been an immense blessing to have had this first hand opportunity to have an inside peek at Em's passionate ministry!
