John Thomas met with our team Sunday evening as we finished packing our supplies. He gave us an update on the political changes now happening in South Africa . He also warned us that Global Warming has forgotten Cape Town as they have been experiencing the coldest winter he remembers. This week begins the season of Spring in South Africa, so as we are enjoying highs in the 80's they are enduring highs in the 50's and 60's.Later that same evening Mr Thomas spoke during a dinner designed to address the work of Fish Hoek Baptist Church and Living Hope. He also mentioned that on his last trip to The White House he informed President George Bush of the wonderful support he has from the partnership with Brentwood Baptist Church.
Anyone that has ever listened to John Thomas speak or have heard the story behind the beginnings of Living Hope can only be amazed. This one man, along with a tiny church saw a vision and dared to believe God was capable of anything. Almost ten years later John Thomas and Living Hope have become world leaders in the global fight against HIV-AIDS.
