We visited schools in multiple villages, sharing the Gospel and giving invitations to accept Salvation. We spoke often on how we all – regardless of our cultural or geographical background – are loved and called by God to be in a personal relationship with Him! Seeing these dear faces light up with understanding never ceased to be beautiful.

And sports events were such a success! In two villages (one at 2200m and the other at 2450m) we organized football games, which drew in eager children quickly! The hours passed in joyful abandon as we ran and laughed and played, finishing up with some treats and Gospel tracts, and leaving the footballs for the villages to continue enjoying.

We went house to house in villages spread across the mountains – interacting, offering prayer, and sharing the Gospel of Christ’s Love. One night we also held a service, with praise and worship, a message, altar call, and individual prayers for healing and other requests! The Holy Spirit was so faithful to open hearts and draw people to Jesus, and many times tears filled our eyes as we heard people’s stories and prayer requests (“life to care for my family” was one often repeated.)

We also spent time discipling and training the young people that came with us; giving them Bible classes, tips, and hands-on experience witnessing.

Certain days are special in Life’s eternal plan,
                Special in the eyes of God and in the eyes of Man.
                And there’s an extra beauty that sets these days apart,
                And brings a lovely happiness to life & soul & heart.

We had an amazing blessed time in Lesotho! Most of our time was spent between 2200m and 2500m above sea level! With no running water, electricity (except for a small generator every few days to charge phones) or dependable signal, it was a full-on missionary adventure, and very inspiring. We hiked and walked all over, backpacks full of material, and met so so many precious individuals.

There were also many things that brought tears to our eyes, like…

Our Sunday School at Easter was even more special than usual this year.

The children wholeheartedly sang songs of praise to the Lord, remembering His victory over death itself!

They also talked about the meaning of the death and Resurrection of our precious Saviour, sharing lessons and insights.

Of course there was also much cheer about the impromptu Easter egg hunt and the bags of goodies each child received. Easter celebrations all round!

There is a special meaning to sharing Jesus’ Love and Resurrection with the over 140 precious people at this home for the elderly. Not many people here receive visitors and in the twilight of their years a little love and kindness is so appreciated.

Resurrection. New Life. Forgiveness. These were the themes shared this Easter with the people of these two settlements.

Along with hot-cross buns and chocolates everyone was also given a bag of much needed fresh food-stuffs. We prayed all together, and even some specific prayers for work and other needs for individuals. And most wonderfully, two men gave their hearts to Jesus! A Happy Easter for all!

Chris and David are on their way to Lesotho! They will spend ten days in outreach and will be joined by a group of people eager to learn about ministering to others and the faith life.

They will be mostly out of cellphone reach with intermittent or no signal, and little or no electricity or running water. Along with their sleeping bags and clothing, they packed an entire suitcase full of Gospel literature, Gospels of John and Christian teaching materials.
