Newsletter - Eternal Life - February 2023

Image
Good day beloved  We hope that you are doing good and that it is well with your soul 😁 The scripture for this month:  1 John 5:11-12 ESV — "And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life." This month we have been working among the teenagers at the school. We have bible study every week generally on Thursday and then praise and worship services every Sunday morning.  The rest of the time we are busy with counseling and ministering.  Last Saturday we had a one-day camp with about 45 learners and we were led by the Holy Spirit to talk about unforgiveness and the truth that God has given us the key to forgiveness which is one of the most powerful weapons that we have.  After the session, we had time for ministry and praying with those who needed to forgive. What a glorious time to see these young people transformed in front of you and to see...

How to pray more effectively

How to Pray: 5 Practical tips  I want to be a prayer warrior. I long to grow a deeper prayer life, but I often struggle with how to pray. I know prayer carries much power and changes lives. But when I sit down to pray, I sometimes find it hard to focus. After three minutes, my mind travels to what is happening out there, or wanders to my to-do list or I try to pray before bed, but fall asleep.  I suspect I am not the only one and I'm left wondering how to pray better. Prayer is an amazing privilege. Through words like these in scripture, we have an open invitation from the God of the universe: “Call to me and I will answer you.” (Jeremiah 33:3a) We have a promise that He hears us: "You will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you." (Jeremiah 29:12)  Through the pages of our Bibles, we see examples of men who prayed. Even Jesus, the Son of God, prayed. So I know I should too, but I find it challenging. I suspect I’m not alone. Many Christians struggle ...

Greetings beloved Hope you are all well. 😃 I greet you all in the Name of our Great God and Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ. Here is the scripture for the month: “Matt 25:32 Before Him will be gathered all the nations, and He will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.”   Here is a picture of our family in our kitchen We just wanted to give God, our Father, all the glory for all the souls that are being reached with the Gospel. This month we continued with the Bible study sessions at the Highschool. There are about 50 students in the class and we trust our Father for 7 of them need Bibles in the following languages English or South Sotho.

Good day fellow believers  We hope that you are doing good and that it is well with you. Here is our scripture for the month 📖  1 Corinthians 15:57 KJV — But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. We would just like to give thanks to our Father in Heaven for all the breakthroughs and miracles over the past month  There are new doors opening up in Aliwal North where a Ministry has asked me to do the training for all their staff and volunteers on counseling and ministering to the people that the Lord will give them. Please pray for us to be able to workout the course with the Holy Spirit leading us on what to include and what to exclude 🙌 We would also love to thank the Lord for the two sheep lambs and one goat lamb that He has given us. Working with sheep and goats has taught us a great deal about the Kingdom of God. We are seeking the lost like Jesus does.

 Good day beloved  We hope that you are all doing well and trust that it is well with your soul in Jesus Name. In this newsletter, we would just like to share what has been happening in the ministry over the last month. We had the privilege to witness the graduation of 7 young men who successfully completed the 6 months program at the restoration center where we have been working since the beginning of the year. Seeing these young men's lives changed by prayer and faith in the Name of our King is such an honor. We give our Father in Heaven all the Glory. His work in these men's hearts and seeing the healing in them is something worth living for. The grandparents, parents, and families were so grateful and excited to witness this glorious day. We thank our Father for the work that Past Dries, his son Jakobus, the general manager, and Riaan the manager at the center are doing in the lives of these men. This was a very special day. Here are two videos below of songs that the men ...
