Off To Johannesburg

Have been connecting with Henry & Lerato Sabata (our South African pastors) over the past 2 weeks. We have worked out a series of things to do and people to meet over the next 6 days.

Later in the day, I will be flying off to South Africa. I believe this is my 5th visit to Hope Johannesburg already.

Every time I visit them, my heart is both filled with hope and gratefulness. I am thankful to God for the many good people that we have that have stuck with God and the church through good and not so good times. Through it all, we have tasted the goodness and faithfulness of God.

I will be arriving on Saturday morning. This will be followed by 4 teachings in a seminar Henry has especially requested for. It is to strengthen and envision our leaders, members and regular visitors.

Then on Sunday, we will be running an outreach services. As I have been told, the people had been sowing and having Matthew CGs for the past weeks to prepare for the Sunday’s service.

Please please do take 1 minute right here and now to pray for the following…

* pray that the leaders, members and regular visitors will be strengthened and envisioned by the Saturday Seminar

* pray for at least 5 people to cross the line of faith on Sunday

* pray for Henry & Lerato to be anointed in leading our Johannesburg church

* pray for an even clearer sense of purpose and leadership in the church

* pray for the unemployed to find jobs within the coming month

Thank you for playing your part in building up our Johannesburg church.

Thanks all for praying...

Good to hear from you Yeu Ann. Hope all is well with you.

Hi Andrew, the statement you made sounds familiar :)

Thanks Angela. Thanks for activiating your passion for prayer.

haha David. I was supposed to go. But Ps Ben may be more suitable as he oversees the Americas more directly. I heard that he had made great impact during his previous trip :)
