I spoke at the Mt Olive Church this past Sunday, 28th June. I really had a great time with this amazing Church. Their Praise and Worship was so explosive and the people are so passionate about their relationship with the Lord! I spoke to them about “becoming a person of courage” and I had the opportunity to pray for many people who had become discouraged and lost hope because of the negative circumstances in their lives! 22 people responded to the altar call and asked Jesus to become their Lord and Saviour! It was awesome!!

This coming coming Wednesday night I will be flying out to Greece for a three week ministry trip! I will be in the city of Thessaloniki and also Athens. I will be speaking in several churches in Athens while I’m there!

Jesus said for us to “Go into all the world and make disciples of every nation!”

On Tuesday, 16th June which was National Youth Day, I had the opportunity to speak at the Word of Life Church out in Yeoville in Johannesburg! I spoke to them on: “The Power of Purpose” and 30 people came forward for the salvation call. I also had the opportunity to pray and lay hands on people for healing of their bodies and other needs in their lives. There was really an awesome presence of God in that Church. Thank you Lord for all that You do!

On Saturday, 20th June, we went out together with 1-In 1-Out and Rhema Urban Oak to Freedom Park in Johannesburg and we ministered to about 250 people. I spoke to them on a message called: “I am a friend of God!” We broke everyone in groups and and our team leaders and volunteers ministered to people one-on-one! They shared the good news of the gospel with them, prayed for the sick and for all other needs in their lives. We served every person with a hot meal, everyone recieved a blanket, a grocery hamper and a Bible. The children also recieved a pair of brand new shoes! It was awesome!!

On Sunday I had the honour of speaking in the 8am and the 10:15am services of Rhema Urban Oak. I spoke to them on: “Becoming a person of courage” and 14 young people came forward for salvation over both the services!

I’ll be preaching in the 9:30am service of Mt Olive this coming Sunday, 28th June 2009. Looking forward to a great service with them.

Later….

Last week Wednesday, 10^th June 2009 I had the opportunity to speak to staff at the South African Broadcasting Corporation. I spoke to them for an hour in their Auditorium on “The Presence of God”. We had an awesome time! Many came forward and asked for prayer and 5 SABC staff gave their hearts to the Lord in the middle of a work day during their lunch hour! Praise God for His awesome gift of salvation!

This past Sunday, 14^th June 2009, I was asked to come and speak to the Church at the Manger Care Centre. I spoke to them about the fact that we need to run to our Heavenly Father who is our strength! Without Him we can do nothing! We had such a great response as many came forward who felt that they were spiritually dry and needed a touch from the Lord again. As I did the altar call, 42 people came forward to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour!

Tomorrow which is National youth Day, I will be preaching at the Word of Life Church here in Johannesburg! I will be speaking on the “Power of Purpose”. The entire church has been invited as well as many young people who don’t know the Lord! I’m looking forward to many people receiving Jesus as their Lord and Saviour!

This coming Saturday, 20^th June 2009, Finishing Strong, 1-In 1-Out, Rhema Urban Oak and Little Falls ’All Stars’ will be carrying out an outreach to Freedom Park. The Outreach is called: “Operation Fudumeza – our winter blanket drive”. Many people who live in abject poverty in Freedom Park will be given blankets, food parcels and a hot meal. We will also have one-on-one ministry with them and share the good news of the gospel. Each person will also receive a Bible.

On Sunday, 21^st June 2009, I will be preaching at both the 8am & 10:15am services of Rhema Urban Oak! Looking forward to an awesome time with the youth of my home Church!

Cool – chat later…

How crazy is this cold weather in Johannesburg! Freezing cold, overcast, rainy and windy! We want the sunshine back NOW! :)

I’ve been asked to speak at the South African Broadcasting Corporation - to the SABC Christian Community Church tommorow at their 12:30pm service. We had such an amazing time the last time that they’ve asked me to come back and speak twice this month to the staff of SABC. There were many  staff members who gave their lives to the Lord the last time I was there; I was able to pray for people, lay hands on them, encourage and councel people!

This coming Sunday, 14th June 2009, I will be ministering at the Manger Care Centre out in Boksburg, Johannesburg at their 9:00am service. Looking forward to an awesome time with them!

Keep warm if you’re in Joburg!

We had such an awesome weekend last weekend! On Saturday, 30th May we took a large team of people from Finishing Strong, Rhema Urban Oak and Little Falls ‘All stars’ and we travelled to Mt Olive Outreach in Lenasia, Johannesburg where we had the opportunity to minister to many people affected by the AIDS virus. These people are not only affected by AIDS but also live in abject poverty.

What an amazing privilege it was for us to be able to speak to people one-on-one, share the good news of the gospel with them, pray for healing in their bodies and for all other needs. Afterwards we served them all a hot meal, each received a blanket, a grocery hamper and a Bible.

The team that came was totally blown away - it’s truly more blessed to give than to receive!

On Sunday, 31st May I was invited to minister at the 9:30am service of the Summit Church in Rivonia, Johannesburg. I spoke to them on: “Doing the journey with God”. There were some amazing people who received Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.

That evening I had the honour of speaking at my home Church - Rhema Bible Church at the 6:30pm service. I spoke to them on: “Let me tell you why you’re here!” We had a phenomenal time and many responded to the salvation call.
