We have now had many successful Micro F1's (micro formula 1) in local churches! The track has worked great, and there have been many children come to know Christ as their Saviour as a result of these meetings! Thank you for your part as we have had donations from some of you toward hot wheels cars, as well as your faithful prayers.
Last Friday night was our annual T-Junction! This is an all night event, 6 pm to 6 am. The name is to symbolize the choice that we have to make in our lives once we learn about what Christ has done for us on the cross to pay for our sins. We have to choose to accept Him and follow Him, or go our own way. We have held this event the last two years at an Aqua dome, with indoor pools, water slides, rock climbing, miniature golf, basketball, soccer, volleyball, video games, game cube, bowling, etc. We had 145 in attendance at this event, plus staff and volunteers! A local pastor, Pastor Trent Aeyrs, shared the gospel message. It was a night of fun for all!Yesterday Brad left for Capetown. He flew in on Thursday and is spending the majority of today visiting local youth leaders. The majority of his weekend will be with Mountain View Baptist Church in Somerset West. Tonight he has an all night lock-in with the youth, Saturday he will be teaching a college course, Sunday morning he will be preaching at church, Sunday afternoon he will be running an orientation for Word of Life Clubs, and then he will be flying home on Monday!
Next week we have a group of students from King's Christian School coming in from NJ, and we are excited about the many ministry opportunities coming up. Please pray for the teens, that God would use this trip to impact their lives for him. Please pray, also, that God would prepare the hearts of those people that that will be ministering to here in South Africa. God can use these youth to win others to Christ!
Thank you, again for your faithful prayers for our ministry! God is using you to change lives in South Africa.
Mary, for the fam

I would love to share with you a recent blessing!!! I have played the flute now for approximately 22 years - hard to believe it's been that long! When I was in my last year of school, my parents blessed me with a new (to me) flute. Since moving to South Africa almost 6 years ago, I've been able to play in church once or twice a week! Well my flute decided to give out on me, costing more to repair than it was worth. I was quite disappointed, as I thought I was going to have to go without playing for a while as we saved for a new flute. I took my flute to a local instrument library to see if there was something they could do just to make it work in the meantime, and when I went back, they shared that, unfortunately, there was nothing they could do. BUT, someone had donated a used flute to the instrument library and they passed it on to me! What a blessing from the Lord. I was moved beyond words!
