Campus Minister, David Taylor and Rish Residence Hall Director, Kelly Somers headed up a group of students and traveled to South Africa for Spring Break. Amy Montgomery, Brad Shockley, Brad Lavoie, Sharde Sherman, Jessica Rayle, Derek Bostic, Josh Cline, Lee Adams, Lesley Gray, Lisa Reale and Scott Quirin flew out from Charlotte, NC Thursday, February 28th and landed in Cape Town, South Africa.
From there they went to the Orange River where they worked with Churches, both in Namibia and South Africa. From dawn till dusk they provided worship services, handed out Bibles and witnessed three baptismals. The remainder of the trip the BC crew hung out with local kids. They played soccer and taught them how to play Duck-Duck-Goose. They also went around Cape Town and made connections with the locals by doing prayer walks and delivering meals to folks who make a daily average of 2$ a day.
Also, what is going to another country with out being able to be a tourist? Before the students left they went to Chapman’s Peake and Boulders Beach where they swam with penguins. The crew returned to the states on Sunday leaving their mark on South Africa and Namibia.
