The
WordSpace has been dominating the horizon
and keeping Andrew Vaughan and the team busy. The number of subscribers
continues to grow and we're reaching somewhere between 6000-8000 people across
the various platforms. Here's an excerpt from a conversation Andrew had with a
young man in grade 8 via BBM recently:
=D=D:
where
do you come from
theWordSpace:
I'm
in Cape Town - you?
=D=D:
I
live in cookhouse in the eastern cape
theWordSpace:
Cool,
which city is that close to?
=D=D:
None
really I live on a dairy farm so we in the middle of nowhere
theWordSpace:
Ok,
how did you hear about us?
=D=D:
I
went to a christian camp called sum k [Sumcay
campsite near PE] and they gave me a page with your pin on it .
theWordSpace:
That's
great, are you part of a church or youth or something?
==D=D:
I
would but my dad works on sundays and the closest church from our farm is half
an hour away so its quite hard
theWordSpace:
Sho
- so what do you do to keep your faith going?
=D=D:
I
read your messages that you send out and when there is a christian camp I try
to go to those
We've had more than a few people
say that the WordSpace is the only place they get to read the Bible - not sure
if that's a good thing... but it's encouraging to know that the WordSpace is at
least making the Bible a bit more accessible. And for guys like this we can be
the only source of regular spiritual nurture.
