It was decided that the Monday meeting would focus on prayer for the various service centers that exist across Africa. Hands currently has 12 Service centers in Nigeria, the DCR, Zambia, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, South Africa and Swaziland. A Service centre each serves an number of Care points. For instance the Haziview Service centre looks after 6 separate care points, including Mafambisa.
The worship session will include communion.
After small groups I went onto a planning meeting for our team in July. The conversation was wide and reaching and helped those doing the planning to focus the visit on the nature of the team that we are bringing.
Following this meeting I went to help out with the filming of an item to be published in the next Hands at Work newsletter. To film and record this Daytona used 4 cameras, at different angles plus a radio mic to get good sound quality! Having filmed George speaking about “the truth” from the way the truth and the life. Daytona will edit the various camera angles into one short film. This will go out across the world next Friday. And I got to drive one of the camera’s. You can see my piece of equipment in the middle picture below!
After lunch I had a short meeting with Cat about George and Carolyn visit to the U.K. next month. He is visiting Biggleswade on Friday 8th June.
Then to round off the afternoon I had attended the weekly meeting of the Comms Team, this was interesting to see how different projects were progressing, to see how difficult it is to work across a number of differing international offices, and to be able to input to some of the planning.
It was a long day but being able to be involved with so many bits of the day to day work that goes on here at the Hub was a privilege.
Tomorrow we are due to visit Share but there are civil strikes threatened and often this leads to civil unrest , so we may have to visit a different card point.
