Thank you so much for your prayers for the Missions Reality team that is here from the Word of Life Bible Institute! They have arrived safely and are having a great week of ministry.
It has been go, go, go from the minute they landed in Joburg! They have ministered in a settlement, practically by helping make bricks, painting, and visits to peoples homes. Brad's heart was broken by an orphanage with 11 children living in a shack smaller than one of our kid's bedrooms.
Today was a day of ministry in one of the local prisons. Mike Neilson, a national missionary, visits this prison on a regular basis, doing Bible Studies and discipleship with the prisoners. He visits one wing at a time, and with 38 extra people today they were able to visit 4 wings at once!
Tomorrow is a day of ministry at Norman House School and Reyn Place of Safety. These are homes for troubled or orphaned children of all ages. Please pray that God prepares the hearts of those that they will be ministering to. We will be sharing through drama, music, and gospel presentation in a group and one-on-one.
On Friday morning, we will be ministering at a local Primary school, and after a little sight seeing, splitting into three groups to visit three different Word of Life Clubs.
Saturday we will be running a Soccer Marathon in Diepsloot, a local settlement. This is a ministry that uses soccer as a draw for people in the area, with an opportunity to share the gospel. The soccer marathon should finish up around 1:00, and by 3:00 the team will be departing for the airport!
We are excited about the ministry that has happened this week, and about the ministry opportunities still available! Please pray for strength, endurance, and opportunities to lead souls to Christ!
Also, please pray that God clearly shows the students on the Mission Reality exactly what He has in store for them. It is exciting to see that they want to follow Him wherever He will lead, whatever that may mean.
Thanks again, for your prayers!
Mary, for the fam
