Youth Focuses and Hermanus Festival Outreach 2018!

We’ve been busy with youth outreach – witnessing and discussing faith on campus, bringing faith-building books especially designed for youth to a centre in Phillipi, and most recently, spreading the Gospel at the Hermanus Whale Festival over the weekend!

Students are taught to question, and we love to give them the Greatest Answer of all – Jesus! We often also exchange details so that we can keep in touch and meet up again.

The centre in Phillipi acts as a “halfway house” and skills training centre for youth 18-21 – those who have finished matric but need assistance preparing to join the workforce. It presently can accommodate about 25 . At the centre they receive counseling, life skills training, and personal mentoring. We are so pleased to have been able to provide them with books full of youth-geared messages from Jesus, as well as student folders, exam pads, and a set of pens each.

The Hermanus Whale Festival was yet another wonderful experience of seeing God work in lives and open hearts. Even though it was tough, and required a lot of walking and talking to get visible results, we are so thankful to have been there, and know that He will work further through the message that went out. We only see a fraction of the total effect immediately. For all of you who were a part of us being out there, thank you! We are co-labourers for Christ, and we appreciate you! 11 individuals accepted Jesus as their Saviour, and over 1500 Gospel tracts were distributed, as well as many Activated magazines and Gospel of John booklets. Still others were prayed for on the spot, or added to our weekly devotional list. His Word never returns void. (Isaiah 55:11) Hallelujah!
