Easter Outreach

Last week, the Windhoek Team had a special Easter outreach at one of the local HIV/AIDS clinic.  It was a great success!  We appreciate everyone's prayers.
Please forgive me, the administrator of this site, because I did not get a prayer request out for this event.  No excuses are good enough.  I simply lost the request.
Again, we thank you for praying.  Please continue to pray for all those who were part of the outreach and heard the gospel message.  Pray that God will speak to their hearts.  Pray that those affected with HIV/AIDS will come to know that no matter what they are going through, God loves them and is with them!

Linge School - Cape Town

On any given Friday around 12:30 PM, 125 to 150 students from Linge School can be heard singing loudly praise songs such as, "We Want To See Jesus Lifted High" from the school's multipurpose room. For most of these students this is their only opportunity to worship the Lord within one of the many townships in Cape Town where currently there is no Baptist church. God is at work to change this. Following the sharing about Christ by m Bruce Erickson, 6 young men prompted by the Holy Spirit came up and asked to be baptized. On the following Monday, Bruce returned to meet with them and Mike M., the Christian teacher instrumental in helping start the Friday worship. They were encouraged to find not 6 but rather 16 boys and girls wanting to learn more about how to faithfully follow Christ. As the CTMET meets with them through April, please pray for these students to have a clear understanding and assurance of their salvation and for them to be able to move forward in obedience in their walk with the Lord.

Praise from Cape Town!

Blessed be our LORD! Seven boys and girls wrote out their testimonies in preparation towards baptism. At Linge, more students asked about being baptized. At Andile, during the girls club, Sarah and Michal had the privilege of seeing God move in the heart of one of their girls to invite Jesus into her heart. At Mzamomhle, 150 students heard the story of Boaz and Ruth or Amnon and Tamar and learning the difference between genuine love and counterfeit love. After school, 15 boys and 15 girls from Mzamomhle heard, some for the first time, about the greatest gift of love in Jesus Christ. Friday is student worship service at Linge, and once again, perfectly timed by God, a great set of stories to share about the many that Jesus healed (Mark 1:21-34, Luke 4:31-41, Mark 2:1-12, Luke 5: 17-26).

Thank you for joining with us in prayer. There have been some requests by the students for prayer concerning fear of evil spirits in their homes. Stories from the gospels will be shining the truth of God's light right into the darkness of an enemy's stronghold. Please pray that NOTHING will detract from the clear message that there is victory in Jesus Christ.

Thank you. Your prayers are a VITAL part of our ministry.
