Church is 24/7

It has been another awesome week in South Africa. We are learning a lot and being challenged intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually. The tennis outreach in Kayamandi is still going well. After practice on Wednesday I became a human jungle gym for the kids. It was exhausting but so worth it.

There is also a family living in Stellenbosch who have opened their home to us, and they are one of the coolest families I know. They have five daughters who are adorable, and a puppy that is the cutest I’ve ever seen. We played games and had a dance party for line 3 hours last Monday.

One of my biggest take aways from this week is that as a Christian there shouldn’t be any separation from the sacred and the secular. There shouldn’t be a distinction between “Christian time” and other time, rather God had given us opportunities to worship him in every area of life. Whether it is playing a sport, watching a movie, or hanging out with friends, it is an opportunity to worship Christ. We were all made to be different with different skills, interests, and passions so there is no one way of worshipping God, but can and should use every avenue we can to glorify His name.
