MK2MK at Bonamanzi

Bonamanzi Game Park is a privately owned safari lodge which is located nearly 5 km's away from the o'so famous Hluhluwe Park. This 3 star park has been turned from a cosy family, couple, friend private game to visit for winter to a complex packed with young blue tshirt wearing high school students. MK2MK celebrates its 10th year of working with missionary kids and also the 10th year of hosting and leading mission trips. As I have mentioned a number of times South Africa, Durban has turned out to be one of the most largest group to come into the project with numbers of total participants running to 105 including staff, interns and the missionary kids themselves. It has been 3 weeks since the 105 groups split equally into 2 to serve in different city's all together namely Port Shepstone and Durban (including its surrounding areas) and now everyone gathers to share on what the Lord has been doing the communities that they have been working in. This period is not about who did what, where and how long, but its about what have we witnessed God transform. Where it being an MK themselves through God refining certain characteristics and attitudes in their hearts to leading someone putting their faith into Christ. The realization that its Him who is at work at his power to transform lives is what we come under the umbrella that unifies us with. I can't wait to hear all those amazing stories of God at work!

The MK2MK Leadership team has in the past run mission trips/summer projects in different countries and continents namely: Botswana, Uganda, Ethopia x 2, Mexico, Spain, Argentina, China to name a few! These amazing opportunities of ministry in other countries not gives MK's an idea of what their parents get to do when they are involved in summer projects and ministry field work but it connects them to other missionary kids which live in the different parts of the world and together they serve. There is such a richness of diversity is mind blowing. There are so many countries represented in this mission trip and even the past namely: France, Spain, Germany, Kazakstan, China, Japan, Hungary, Belgium, Slovakia, Kenya. To have an opportunity to be ministered unto in such cases by such a great cloud of believers is amazing.

Today in, continuing a tradition that started over in Botswana, each participant had to take a rock and place it on a table to symbolize a continuing road of the goodness and faithfulness of God.
