The second phase of our school centered on making Him known, as we divided into four outreach teams and scattered to Banjul, The Gambia; Freetown, Sierra Leone; Johannesburg, South Africa; and the bush of Guinea, to do our best to share the love that Jesus had for those who had never heard or understood or contemplated the love it takes to die for someone else who may not even appreciate the sacrifice! Drama, worship, testimonies, preaching, work projects, friendships, and really every facet of life were an opportunity to attempt to communicate the Good News. This was also an awesome opportunity to develop deep friendships within the smaller groups, or perhaps even new friendships with people that you had somehow never really spent time with before. It also showed us the power of unity and focus as a group works together under the direction of the Holy Spirit with a single goal!
Finally, the four teams converged on The Gambia for one week of debriefing and goodbyes, enjoying a few last times of worship and prayer amid a flurry of exchanging contact information and promises to stay in touch.
