Praise God for the approval to rezone the land for the Zulu church building and facilities.
Praise God that our team is at 100% of our financial support.
Everyone is doing much better in health. Just a few minor colds left and drowsiness from antibiotics.
Pray for Ken and his back. The plane ride home was difficult and he is recovering now that we are home.
Pray for others who are recovering from minor injuries and colds.
Pray for God's timing on roofing the pastor's manse. Funds, materials, and labor is still needed.
Pray for future teams who will be visiting and working with Grace Christian Church and Mercy Bible Church this year.
Pray for the unity of our team.
Pray for the hearts of the people we will minister to, that they would be open to the message of the gospel.
Pray for Mercy Bible Church in the outskirts in south Germiston. This is where we are building the pastor's home and the AIDS Hospice center. Pray for their outreach, discipleship, and training of new leaders. Currently, this church plant is the only church in an area of 50,000 Zulu speaking people.
Pray for Grace Christian Church as they reach out to the lost and equip the saints within their church.
Please Pray for Our Team:
