We supplied some cottage industry projects – methods of sustainable income for the local ladies – with large bags of donated leather off-cuts for use in crafts, earrings, and more.

We brought hot cross buns, mallow eggs, and Gospel material to the residents of three very needy communities. At each one, abundant joy and smiles showed just how much it meant to them!

Note: in total between the various Easter projects, more than 2500 donated hot cross buns were distributed!

What a busy and amazing Easter Sunday it was! Teams went to two Sunday Schools – our weekly one in Morningstar settlement, and another in Scottsdene – to bring both the message of Easter and gifts of love from Jesus to the children! (Mallow eggs, colouring pages/posters, crayons, and hot cross buns!)

At each Sunday School, David/Amy and Angela respectively shared the story of Easter, and gave the children a chance to accept Christ as their Saviour. (Angela even acted out Revelations 3:20 “behold I stand at the door and knock”.) Then they led them in a prayer and 30 children gave their hearts to Jesus!!! How wonderful!

We have a weekly Bible study and discussion time with the ladies at this home for unwed mothers, and on Good Friday we had an additional Easter message, viewing of “The Gospel of John”, and giftbags with books, headbands, and treats! Recently Angela led one of these dear ladies to accept Jesus as Saviour, and we are very pleased and thankful to have been able to bring extra joy and meaning to such a wonderful time!

Today we celebrate the Son of God’s sacrifice on the cross of Calvary and His triumphant victory over death! Jesus died and rose again; that we might be saved from sin, redeemed from death, and have an eternal home with Him in the wonderful Kingdom of Heaven! A very joyous Easter to you and yours!

Easter is a chance for us to say thank You to Jesus through our actions. Because we already know the ultimate happy ending, we can face our own trials with peace, and dare I say, even joy. He is still making all things new, and I stand humbly privileged to suffer unashamed for Him. Let us cherish today’s rugged cross, for it shall give way to an eternal crown! Thank You, Jesus!

This second faith trip was really blessed – visited Worcester, Robertson, McGregor, Ashton, Swellendam, Mosselbaai, Hartenbos, Sedgefield, Jefferysbaai, P.E., and Grahamstown!

This was a focused followup and discipling trip for people we have previously met, and who need prayer, time together, and encouragement. We met some of those who we’ve led to the Lord over the last years, and saw how they are doing in their faith walk.

We miraculously were given a place to stay each night in a different town, wherever we ended up, and we distributed over 350 Gospel magazines, books, posters, and Cds (free of charge, and thanks to you our sponsors!)

And one young father gave his heart to Jesus, hallelujah!
