Grahamstown Arts Festival 2015 pt 2 – testimonies
Here are various testimonies from members of this year’s outreach team to Grahamstown. We hope they are an inspiration to you, just as they were to us!

She asked me few more questions and after giving the best answers I could, she agreed to open her heart and let Jesus come in! As we finished the prayer together, tears were running down her face – and mine too consequently.It was so awesome to see that Jesus touched her heart and gave the answers to her questions. We left each other with a hug and I reminded her to never forget that no matter what Jesus is here for her; everyday, all the time.

Tour de France Outreach in Gouda
This year,at the beginning of the Tour de France, the cyclists passed through Gouda – the town in The Netherlands where Suzanne and Caleb live. The two of them took the opportunity to pass out Gospel tracts and speak with the many people gathered along the roads and canals. How awesome!
Fresh Produce and Bread for Disadvantaged Families
After heavy rain, and with temperatures continuing to drop, we received a phone call from the chief of a nearby township, requesting assistance for his people. Many of the children were without food, and the men could not find work because of the rain. Thanks to donors and sponsors, we brought in three van loads of goods for hundreds of families. Fresh produce – carrots, onions, potatoes, bananas, oranges, and bread were packed on the spot into bags, and each person got one! We also gave out Gospel tracts, letting these dear ones know Who cares for them most of all.
