We are here at the YWAM Worcester Base just an hour outside of Cape Town. Check out our base tour video. Also check out our pictures, we've added some.
The majority of people on this base are Brazilians, so lots of soccer, and then South Koreans who are participating in the YWAM English Language School.
A week from today we start the BCC (Biblical Core Course). This is an abbreviated version of the 9 month SBS (School of Biblical Studies). The BCC is a 12 week course designed to empower missionaries in a short period of time. In the BCC we will read every book of the Bible in block text (meaning we have to go through and white out all of the paragraph titles) aloud, and each book in one sitting. Kati and I have started this portion early because we are leaving early to participate in the World Cup Outreach (we finished Isaiah in 3 hours and 4 minutes, a new record). The main focus of the BCC is to teach a new method of Bible study. The first week of the course is dedicated to teaching the method and the next 11 weeks is applying the method to different books of the Bible, which means we will spend one week each studying 11 books.
The next two months will be rather uneventful as we study 6 days a week. We will leave Worcester on June 8th to participate in the World Cup Outreach. We haven't figured out exactly how we will participate, but it will probably be with a focus on soccer ministry or anti human trafficking ministry, we'll keep you posted and pass on the information about the situation here leading up to the World Cup Outreach.
We miss you all heaps and can't wait to be back stateside. We are very excited for this BCC and the World Cup Outreach and even more excited to see you all again. We will keep you updated as the school progresses. We have much better internet access here, so email and hit us with some knowledge on yourselves.
peace and love, but mostly love
