On The Road to KKNK Outreach!

Four of us are on the road for street outreach and followup visits in Oudtshoorn during the KKNK festival! In addition to Bibles and a lot of other material, the Lord has faithfully supplied thousands of Gospel tracts (including two titles in Afrikaans just ready from printer YESTERDAY!) and we have been offered a home to stay in! Please keep in prayer for good health, continued supply, Holy Spirit anointing, safe travels, and the Lord’s Will to be done at every turn. Also for the team running the mission and day-to-day still at home – for energy, safety, and supply. We are so excited to see what Jesus will do to reach hearts and lives!

World Down Syndrome Day – 6km run!

This morning, 10 of us participated in the 6km Tyger FunRun! Both the kids and their adult companions made great time, and everyone really enjoyed it!

Today is World Down Syndrome day, and we were highly privileged to be able to run with Timothy, the superstar of Helping Hand! You can see him here sprinting the last metres to the finish and being held up in celebration afterwards! Well done everyone!

Prayer for Van Repairs/Replacement

Please join us in prayer for this situation with our daily-used pickup and distribution van; someone hit us while coming back from a food distribution, and now insurance is writing off the vehicle due to damage being too costly to fix vs value of the van. If we take the writeoff payout, it is not nearly enough to replace the van, yet the van does need replacing. (over 330 000km and quite a few ongoing issues) Alternatively, if we reject writeoff offer we will get a far lesser payout, and need to find a place to repair it ourselves. Please pray for great favour, wisdom, and supply according to the Lord’s Will. We know it is HIS work, and He is the one running it, not us by our own cleverness. We really appreciate your prayers for the best resolution! (Psalm 121:8, Psalm 91, Philippians 4:19, Revelations 3:8)

100 Learners from Orphanage Receive Encouragement and School Items

From Grade R all the way up, the children of this orphanage were thrilled to receive school items to facilitate their education! We were able to speak with them and stress the importance of faithful study in order to reach their goals and dreams, as well as remind them that Jesus loves them very much. And in talking with “Mama” Rosie and the other staff members and hearing some of their recent challenges, we are even more thankful for the timing of this chance to encourage them to keep going in their vital work of caring for these vulnerable ones.

School Supplies and Salvation!

What an amazing time we had witnessing at schools up the West Coast! After preparation of the hundreds of school packs and much Gospel material, we went out! From place to place we went as we were led, giving Gospel messages and offering Salvation, as well as handing out the supplies and fresh fruit to the learners!

In addition to the school packs, we left all kinds of Gospel and educational materials for the schools and a creche. And most wonderfully of all, 268 children made the decision to accept Jesus as their Saviour and Forever Friend!

Foodstuffs and School Supplies

We were able to hold food distributions for two communities with items such as bread, potatoes, fruit, rusks, coffee, and tissue paper, as well as brand new school supplies for the children and Gospel material for all. We had prayer all together at each community, and smooth distributions. It was great!
