Praise Reports

I’ve been in the missions field for just over 3 months – June, July and August - and it has been an amazing experience. Through my next few blogs I thought I’d share a little more about what it’s like living and working in South Africa….starting with some praise reports thanks to God and to your faithful prayer support!!

- For the generous financial partnership of family and friends that allow me to remain in South Africa and work among the Basotho people. I’m currently at 75% of the necessary monthly commitment which covers basic living expenses each month.

- For an awesome and impactful outreach season. 16 mission teams who brought 215 team members, served with 7 partner churches, led 65 people to Christ, taught more than 575 children during week long children’s programs, planted 55 gardens, gave away Bibles, did countless chores and the list goes on…

- For a growing Leadership Summit school program as the new term kicked off with more than 3400 students in 10 schools.

- For the 8 interns who have been serving with us all year, and for the 24 interns who served with us during their summer breaks. We continue to see amazing fruit from their ministry with us.

- For a smooth transition into a new home, community living, and a new role as Outreach Coordinator. I’ve learned so much these past few months and it has been great.

- For the dear friends I’ve made here - for my housemates and co-workers who as brothers and sisters in Christ really do feel like my extended family.

- For each of you who have been praying with me and for me during this wonderful journey. It means so much!! Thank you!!
