Cape Town

The Cape Town Baptist Seminary graduated a new army of ministers in November.  Some will return to northern Africa countries; most are from South Africa.  Pray that they will continue to follow the Lord’s promptings and receive ministry positions.  Pray that God will continue to provide for them and their families.  Pray that those who left families for four years to study in Cape Town will find family waiting excitedly and with open arms to see their returning ministers for God. 

Followup to previous request:

In the newest English class in Elsies River, Cape Town, South Africa, there are now 13 students from 2 major faith systems.  The exciting part is everyone  wants to be in a Bible study.  The even more exciting part is that a local Burundian refugee lay pastor, an elder from his church, and Gail, will be visiting all the students in their homes to prepare for this new Bible study that will be lead in their heart languages, Swahili and Kirundi.  A local Baptist church has offered the use of their building for when they want to become and official church.  Though there are only 13 students, these student with their families total almost 40 people.  Can you imagine the praises God would have when they all raise their voices in prayer and worship?!  Continue to pray for this group of refugees to grow to know and love the Lord and then, in due time, to take their faith back to Burundi.
