Testimony of a Grade 10

A Grade 10 learner sat down with me and told me how he want to have a great mango and litchi farm. He wants to study everything about ground and he want to know how our culture differs from their culture. Our conversation turned to how skeptical he and his friends were about us in their village when we had come to preach. He said that when they sow us driving around and announcing about the service, it made them wonder what we are doing in their village. His friend told him that they should go see what the people want to start. Later that evening we started the sermon, they are much further into the darkness, busy watching us. They wanted to see if we have the true Gospel or do we just want to make money. As Lazarus preach that night, they come closer to the crowd and closer to the preacher. When Lazarus made the invitation to accept Jesus and put their hands into the air, his friend said to him: "Do not close your eyes, they want to do something with us, we must be aware of them. If you close your eyes they might kill us, I don’t trust that white man." They kept their eyes open and their hands lifted up as they look to Lazarus who walked back and forth to pray. After he prayed, they were amazed to see that nothing funny happened. They look to the film and then went home.
The next day he and his other friends spoke a lot about the previous night's events. They still do not understand what we are doing in their village because they do not believe we just want to get the gospel to them. They came back at the evening service. They stood in the crowd and kept our eyes open for any strange things. I began to preach as they themselves think that this time something funny will happen, they should be awake. When I reached the end of my sermon where I want to pray for everyone, they made as if they closed their eyes and prayed together, but then they feel something funny on their body. Immediately they were scared and looked at each other and say that here is something funny going on. They feel many small cold spots on their skin and body. They think, surely now the white man is busy cursing us. As they rub on their skin they saw it was wet and it started raining. We then pack the equipment so it does not get rain damage.

The next two nights they were back to our services at a different part of the village, but on the second night there, the boy came forward to testify of the Burning Hell film what he saw and the others in English, encouraged the crowd to never thinking that hell does not exist. He also had an agenda to testify to watch what we will do with him when he took the microphone. After two nights he and his friends tested us good and then on the second night of a different section of the village, he came to me and told me this testimony of how they were skeptical about us and that he couldn’t get anything false in us. They kept their eyes every night on us to see if they're wrong because he wants so much to see his village receive the truth of Jesus.

October - Giyani Outreach – Gazankulu

October - Giyani Outreach – Gazankulu

We live in a newly built house in a suburb of Giyani without glass in the windows except for two rooms. Only two rooms have cardboard on the ground and in the dust on the floor we had to sleep.
There was a roof over our head and the pastor and his wife were very hospitable. 2 Days later he placed glass in the windows of one room and in the kitchen and latches on the windows so they can close. There were now doors.
To Him be the glory.
The first night the wind blew terribly and the dust were a problem. We could not show the film because it started raining. The people were so eager to help us. Kobie received a gift from a woman named Sarah. It was 2 porcelain cups with 2 matching teaspoons and 12 tablespoons. The outreach went on without a hitch.

We saw fruit growing there, to the Pretoria people it was something new, but for the Venda and Tsonga people it's normal. They say it is very sweet and it become yellow, and the inside is light yellow with dark brown pits. It looks almost like a mango but skin looks as if it is big snake scales.
