Mbekweni. Lukhanyo, which means "light" in Xhosa, is exactly that... a source of light in this wonderful community that also needs a lot of care and help. Sydwell Magqazana has been the center manager for the past 5 years and he has an amazing heart for young and old here.
This year, the Monte Christo Miqlat team is working on building a whole set of great programs that Sydwell will oversee out of the newest Community Care Center. Wednesday, our team gathered to pray over the center and we were joined by the group of local elders who gather each day to work on their crafts, garden and keep the center clean. Our group broke into teams of 3 
and went into each room and outside to pray over all the great things that are going to happen here. Computer labs, arts room, library, social work center, bike repair shop, spaza shop, and bathrooms with showers are going to be bustling once we get our funding and the work has been completed. We KNOW it's going to happen and we're waiting for the good news as to WHEN.Needless to say, after this day we didn't want to leave - as Sydwell said... this place is now home to our whole team! Amen.
