Student Impact goes to South Africa

On March 20 - 31, our Student Impact high school group went to South Africa to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Our own Ness table member, Melanie Forsberg was one of the students that was blessed to bring the love to South Africa.
They first went to Johannesburg and stayed with an organization Thrive Africa. They visited, prayed and played with children in a hospital. They also did a variety of manual labor in the community including working to beautify a school for the disabled. They went on to Cape Town and stayed with a Christian college Pneumatix. They served most of their time in a township of Kayumandi. They worked hard and affected many children in this community. Melanie said that this is truly what being the church is all about.
