Gotta Love the Power Outages

Well, this morning, I found out that the little caulk job on the leaky parts of the car was mostly successful. I say mostly because it stopped about 90% of the water that would have gotten into the car yesterday, so there's still some work to be done. After this slightly encouraging finding, our team headed up to Pretoria for a meeting with the director of World Mission Center to hear from him about what they're doing. Their organization exists to help train ministers and then send them out to plant churches. They've developed a great system that involves sending their curriculum (in DVD format) out to churches all over the world so that they can put members of their congregation through the 6 month course. Their goal is to reach 1,000,000 people in hopes that a minimum of 10% of them wind up going out and planting churches. It was inspiring to see the hearts of the employees and to hear the stories of how God's using them.
From this presentation, I drove Paul to the computer training class that he's teaching. Through November and December, he was teaching a class-full of the future teachers of the class. Today was the second session for the public training. We got there a couple of minutes late, but that was really the least of our issues. The main problem was that there was no power in the area. So, we waited around for about an hour talking with the students and hoping for the power to return, but we had no luck. Today's lesson has been moved to Tuesday; hopefully this will be the last time class is cancelled on account of power.
