Holiday Program and Youth House Progress

While everyone else was relaxing and putting their feet up this September holiday, YMS was busy, busy with our September Holiday Club. Once it was over, our leadership team sighed a deep sigh of relief – one that indicated we finished strong and successfully.

Some of our vocalists at the Production!
Like any other holiday program or Saturday Live that YMS puts on, we entertained the Refilwe kids and community kids with active games and lots of musical activities to draw them in. The theme for the week was a continuation of Identity in Christ. Our subjects centered around this theme and included topics such as trusting one another, hearing the voice of God, sharing life stories with each other, and being confident in who God has created YOU to be.

The drama group!
The week concluded with our 3rd Holiday Production of the year. We are very proud of our youth as they really work hard to put on a good performance for community members and family. The singers, dancers, and dramatic performances left us very pleased!

With that being said…September holiday program 2010…COMPLETE!


In our last blog, we spoke about our youth house and the full renovations that will be taking place there. The project is being completed this Saturday 9 October! We have been working very hard in the last two months to get everything ready for the big day. As I am typing this, the majority of our leadership team is up at the house scraping walls, applying poly filler, painting the showers, and putting up the fence for the vegetable garden.

We are very excited that Satreno will be here this weekend to complete all outstanding tasks, spend time with us, and hand over the keys to the youth house residents! This is the beginning of a house that will now be home to 12 young men!

Praise God for his blessings and for our new friends at Satreno. We hope this will be a start to a long-term relationship with this awesome group of people!
