Angela and Michelle brought the ladies from a home for unwed mothers (We lead a weekly Bible study there) special gifts for Easter! Each one received a gift bag with chocolates, an Easter Activated magazine, and a book with messages of praise to Jesus. (Note: faces blurred to protect privacy)
This morning, at sunrise, our whole team gathered at the ‘empty tomb’ to celebrate Jesus’ wonderful victory over death. The children, especially, were awed and inspired by this simple re-enactment of History’s Most Glorious Morning!
The resurrection was proof that God had indeed entered into the world in a new way, through His Son.For the disciples then, and for us now, Easter is the bedrock of Christian faith and hope.The early disciples, while initially faced with crushed hopes due to their expectations, soon came to see that because Jesus arose, what He did, said, and promised are true. That carries down through history to us today.– Peter Amsterdam
When Jesus died on the cross as an executed criminal, in the eyes of the Jewish people this made Him a failed Messiah, as He had promised the kingdom and didn’t come through. But three days later, when He rose from the dead, that picture changed completely. The truth of His Messiahship was evident to those who would accept it. He completed His mission by taking our sins upon Himself and thus reconciling us to God. This mission required His death, but once it was completed, God raised Him from the dead, and in doing so showed the world His approval of what Jesus had done. Thank God for His Grace!-Peter Amsterdam

I met a young guy working in the parking lot as an attendant and was busy speaking to him about the Lord’s love and plan for his life when a rough looking character approached…
On Wednesday, we were once again blessed with the companionship of all these precious disabled children from the Sive Nathi Centre. With limited movement, speech, sight, and unable to care for themselves in any way: the dear patients of the Sive Nathi center face severe issues every single day and rarely get a chance to have a change of pace or scenery. It is for this reason we committed to taking them -and the staff that so lovingly cares for them- on a special outing again…
Thank you so much for your prayers and support towards the KKNK Festival Outreach this year – the NINTH consecutive year we have witnessed there! It was a hugely inspiring time with powerful miracles of provision, changed lives, and Gospel Message spread! Our four-person team went out, gave it their all – camping in the rugby field, witnessing all over the streets by day and even at night – and came back full of joy, “bringing their sheaves with them.” (Psalm 126:6) It was wonderful to see the Lord lead each of us on the team to special people that we could followup on, and many times throughout the festival we met up with such people again and ministered further. Of course, we also took time to phone and meet up with individuals whom we’d met at previous KKNK’s, to see how they are doing with their faith-walk. It was encouraging and awesome to see the spiritual progress and be able to grow “fruit that remains.” (John 15:16) The immediate, known results are: Over 7100 Gospel pamphlets distributed Over 150 Bibles and other Gospel booklets given out 68 individuals prayed for (for a variety of requests) 106 individuals accepted the gift of Salvation and Jesus as their Saviour Stay tuned for a testimonies post coming soon!
Our four person team has arrived at the KKNK in Oudtshoorn, ready to spread the message of Jesus’ Love to any and all who will receive it! Please keep them in prayer in the next days- for great victories of salvation, miracles, Gospel spread, protection on the roads, financial supply, good health, and a wonderful time of blessings overall. Thank you so much!
