SuperWeek Leader's Training Conference

Thank you for your prayers as we travelled to Uganda for the recent SuperWeek Leader's Training Conference! We are so grateful we were given the opportunity to help train and encourage WOL national missionaries and students representing Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, Malawi, South Africa, Tanzania, and Nigeria. What a blessing to meet so many faithful believers ready and willing to do whatever they can to advance the cause of the gospel of Christ!

Leaders' Kick Off Conference - The Word

Thank you so much for your prayers for our Leader's Conference yesterday! We had around 35 in attendance representing 9 churches across the Durban area. It was a sweet time of fellowship and a reminder that we need to Live the Word, Teach the Word, and be faithful in assisting children and youth to Apply the Word.

What an encouraging week at the Word of Life Indo-Pacific Youth Ministry Summit in November! We met missionaries from Indo-Pacific region with the same vision of evangelization and discipleship of youth through various means consistent with the Holy Scriptures to strengthen and build up the church of Jesus Christ. We walked away refreshed and renewed in our passion for reaching youth with the Truth!

From December 28-31, we ran the youth program for the Evangelical Bible Church Wentworth Conference. There were around 25 youth from the ages  of 13-25. It was exciting to encourage them to take the next step in their relationship with Christ and to be ready the stand tall in their faith when they returned home.

Salvation

This afternoon, I had the privilege of preaching at a Bible conference on the topic of salvation. I also got to catch up with a former intern and her sister. I am so grateful I get to do what I do! Thank you for partnering with us in ministry

December

December is a little chaotic here in South Africa. 🎄 Not only is it the beginning of the Christmas season, but it's also the end of the school year! Tonight was the closing for our Children's ministry at our church. Here are a few photos for you to enjoy! 

Please continue to pray as there are many events over the next couple of weeks. Pray especially that we keep our gaze on Christ as we "juggle all the balls" of various functions. We really appreciate your prayers for our ministry!
