McDonalds

confession time....

I just went to McDonalds and got a double cheesburger and a coke light...okay and also a McFlurry for later.

Why do I go to McDonalds? I can think of a few reasons...

I can - its convenient - we have a new one up the road from the flat
Its a taste from home - the burgers at McDs taste the same here as they do at home - the other burgers here do not
I like it - okay call me strange, I've had enough McD's in my life to never want any again - being a youth minister will do that do you - but I like it
Its a diversion - I spent all day at home, okay not all day, most of the day -but the afternoon was getting long and I wanted out - took Prudence (she cleans for us now) to the taxi stand and then cruised up to McDs.

Oh yeah, and I was hungry - guess that's the best reason...maybe

anyway, McD's - not healthy for my heart, but healthy for my psyche - sometimes you just need that.

Supporting the Ministry of Troyeville Baptist and the Touch Life Centre

Many of you have asked about how you can support the ministries here in Troyeville. We love your prayer support and we know that God is answering in wonderful ways!

If you'd like to support the ministries financially, here are some of the current needs:

Sponsor a Child at Touth Life Centre: Tuition for our preschool is R300 (~ $40), but most families can only afford to pay about R 50 - the rest is provided by donations. If you sponsor a child, you will enable us to continue this ministry to the community - we'll send pictures of your child and have
him or her write to you. The sponsorship would last for 3 - 4 years depending on how long the child attends our school.

All finanical contributions should go through the Virginia Baptist Mission Board (VBMB) in Richmond, VA. You can get donations to us by sending them to the VBMB office at

VBMB
Glocal Missions and Evangelism Team

Please Indicate that your donation is for The Ministries of Troyeville Baptist Church in Johannesburg, South Africa. If you'd like for your donation to go to a specific need above, please indicate that also.

Let us know your name and address so that we can thank you and send pictures of what your contributions helped support.
