August Hawkins' Headlines

Greetings from sunny South Africa! God is so faithful and He is working here in our beautiful country. It has been a busy season, with camps, conferences, missions trips and speaking engagements on top of our usual youth ministry trainings and weekly discipleship meetings. We recently traveled to Johannesburg to join up with the WOL team there and the Student Fusion missions team from across the US.


These are some of the ministry opportunities that we had with the Student Fusion team:
    - Children’s ministry and church at Work Faith Ministries
    - Teen program at True Word Bible Church in the Northwest
    - Door-to-door evangelism in a township close to the Word of Life property
    - Holiday Bible Club at Tower of Strength Ministries in the East Rand, with over 100 children in attendance

During the time the Student Fusion team was here ministering alongside our team, we were able to share the gospel with 999 people and there were at least 84 professions of faith. It is always encouraging to see youth excited about reaching their generation for Christ. Praise the Lord!

Here’s a glimpse at our events calendar for the remainder of the year. Please pray as we plan and God works!
Aug 17 - Brad preach at Grace Baptist Church
Aug 29-31 - Evangelical Bible Church Young Adult Camp
Sep 1-7 Here 2 There Conference in Joburg

Furlough 2026
Please also pray as we plan for our furlough early next year, mid-January through mid-June. There are a lot of logistics involved in planning travel, looking for housing, and trying to find a car that we can use for those travels. Thank you for praying!
