EBC Wentworth Conference

This week we ran the youth program for the Evangelical Bible Church Wentworth Conference. There are around youth from ages 13-25. It was a privilege to be able to encourage them to take the next step in their relationship with Christ and be ready the stand tall in their faith when they return home.

Merry Christmas!

 

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!

WOL Indo-Pacific Youth Ministry Summit Update

What an encouraging week at the Word of Life Indo-Pacific Youth Ministry Summit! We really enjoyed the fellowship, learning from great leaders, and cherishing every moment we can with Brandon, Brianna and Sarah. We met missionaries from around the world 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!

Here are some interesting statistics regarding Word of Life missionaries: 

Currently, WOL is in 107 locations worldwide and we have 1,593 missionaries!

Great opportunity to encourage one of our local church ministries last night by visiting and teaching their youth! Good reminder about tithing, "Where Your Heart Is." Always an extrarordinary time with the youth & leaders from Hillary Baptist Church!

Go Share Day!

We partnered with Redfern Bible Church today for a great day of evangelism and ministry!

WOL Indo-Pacific Youth Ministry Summit

 

Amongst other upcoming ministry opportunities, November brings a trip to the Philippines for the Word of Life Indo-Pacific Local Church Ministries Conference. Our Regional Directors John & Christy Page requested that we attend to prepare us to better coach and serve the Local Church missionaries throughout Africa and the Middle East. It has been exciting to see God's hand of provision for this trip. Please pray for smooth travel and for things at home to run smoothly while we are away!
