After the battle with the truck last month, it was such a pleasure
now to ride with him. We went all the way problem-free, and we give God
all the glory. We have received comfortable and spacious accommodation
by a policeman and his family.
Sunday when we arrived we had to quickly unpack and get our stuff ready
because they held a service at the house to welcome him, the policeman,
as a member of the Calvary Church. Many churches were present and
together we enjoyed church. It felt like heaven. The preacher preached
about the prodigal son (as I haven’t heard it like this in a long time)
and the people were trapped by the sermon. With the invitation almost
all the young people come to pray to accept Jesus as Savior. We were
warmly welcomed and prayed for and they dedicated us and our work to the
Lord. We were invited to eat together and it was delicious.
Monday night we went to a small village and almost everyone was there
and all prayed with enthusiasm. During the film from the young people
went away and we wondered if they were scared because of the film. Later
we found out that they travelled very far to come see the movie, that’s
why they had to go so early. That very night it started raining and on
Tuesday and Wednesday we could not reach out. The Lord blessed us as we
held devotions in the mornings and we are excited about what God showed
us. We used the time when it has rained to come closer to the Lord
through prayer and meditation of His word. Thursday afternoon the sun
broke through late and we decided it was time to go out. The people were
all there again to see the film about Jesus’ life. The rest of the
outreach has worked out great and the Lord has blessed us.
On Sunday, Louis and the team helped Pastor Justice with a new church.
The Lord has blessed us through the message. The congregation is
beautiful and we have enjoyed worshiping with them our Lord.
We wanted to reach a Venda school but they would not let us and the
Shangaan school in the same environment has allowed us to minister in
their school with the lecture on AIDS awareness. We were then asked four
sessions to observe the children were somebody were touched by the
film. 3 boys to whom you could easily see that their life was rough but
could not handle the information of someone with AIDS so they ran out
and abandoned the classroom quickly. All prayed the commitment payer.
When we returned, some of the children stayed at the classes to see the
movie again.
Bible Project
There were not enough Bibles to meet the needs of all the people
wanting a Bible. At the school all the teachers were looking for Bibles.
We did not have enough to provide the need of these people. Pray that
God will work in people's lives to support in the necessity supply.
There is a hunger in people's hearts towards the Lord and to learn the
Bible at their own. We honor the Lord and pray that God will help them
to read their Bibles and have spiritual growth. We encourage everyone
everywhere to read their Bibles so they can grow spiritually.
While announcing, this old woman came out to ask if the Bibles are for
sale. Wé did not know why she came out of her property, but when she
expressed disappointment on her face, we realize she wanted a Bible. She
was delighted when we stopped and she bought a Bible for herself.
