During February, Frank and his Dad were able to join Romano, a fellow missionary, on a mission trip to Lesotho. He was joining them to be at the opening and inauguration of a new school building in a remote mountain area; built at the request of the chief after he received Salvation and realized anew the importance of caring for his people. (How the school was miraculously funded and built in just a year and a half is a whole other story!) The trip there was not easy and at one time it took over four hours just to travel 90 kms. But when the team arrived there, the local mountain people were overjoyed to see them and some of them even moved out of their simple homes to accommodate the visiting missionaries. As it turned out, the creche still needed some finishing touches and they all got to work painting and varnishing the walls, doors, and windows of the small building. Romano had previously visited this area and has helped put up a school building for primary school children there. This time, after a request from the local people from a neighbouring village, a small creche for smaller children was built. The opening of the school was a major event, with people coming from far over the hills, the local women performing a welcoming dance, many speeches, and a special meal for all! These precious people generously sharing the very best of the little they have. We were grateful to be able to be a part of this exciting outreach!

We spent a wonderful afternoon talking to, and praying with, many students on the university campus. Listening to the many questions, answering, praying, and generally just having time to spend with the students made for a great afternoon. We gave Bibles to those who requested them, prayed with 16 students to receive Jesus as their personal Saviour, and prayed for many personal requests.    

Every month, we assist this orphanage with staples like cooking oil, rice, samp, beans, meat, etc. And this time we were even able to bring them replacement mattresses for some of the beds.

What a surprise the patients at the community clinics received when our children walked in with hundreds of beautiful red roses and inspirational Activated magazines. The children were happy to see that there were plenty of flowers and magazines to give to each of the patients as well as to the nurses and other staff members.

At a children’s home in Khayelitsha, run by CNN “Woman of the Year” winner Rosie Mashale, we brought 25 little students schoolbags, full of all the supplies they need to make progress and learn more and more, every day.  

Our four-man team spent three days witnessing in Greyton – a small town a couple of hours from Cape Town. We were given a place to stay by a friend, and we walked around, speaking with anyone and everyone. The Lord really blessed our time there; it was exciting and effective! 64 individuals gave their lives to Jesus, and we distributed 35 Bibles and Gospel of John booklets. Also, 47 people got an on-the-spot prayer, for a variety of requests, and we saw 6 miracles of healing! Adding to this, 53 Activated magazines and 850 Gospel tracts were distributed. Praise God! 1 Samuel 14:6 says that The Lord is not limited by many or by few. Small team, small town, Mighty God, mighty miracles!

We were able to assist T – a cheerful and proactive man in the Kraaifontein community – with a project for the children; supplying snacks and toys for the event. They all gathered excitedly, and Mike explained how much Jesus cares for each one of them, and why we had come to have a special event to show that Love. Then, they watched a video about Jesus’ life and message, which had them transfixed, and Amy led them all in a prayer to accept Him into their lives!
