Dear friends, family, partners, and supporters,
Thank you so much for you love for the Lord and
commitment to the ministry. Together we are making a big difference in
the lives of the many who are being touched.
One of our highlights took place at the beginning of
the month when the Gracelife campuses united to put on a tow days event
to reach out to the children and youth of Sir Lowry’s Pass.
SPECIAL EVENT IN SIR LOWRY'S PASS:
In the morning of the first day over 200 children were ministered to,
and in the afternoon approximately 80 young people showed up. We later
divided them into groups for more personal ministry.
The following day there was a special ministry time for adults! A lot of
lives were impacted during these two days, and there is now fruit that
remains. We are especially thankful to say that some young people’s
lives are being radically changed. We made ongoing connections via this
event! Praise the Lord!
GRACELIFE:
During the month I did a teaching on: From here to eternity. And Philip taught on: Always be ready to give an answer.
Someone who had visited our church only twice, and had been led to the
Lord, suddenly passed away. We are relieved to know that we had received
the Lord, and at the same time impressed upon that the Day if Salvation
is NOW! We need to reach out to as many as possible and as soon as
possible.
KIDS' CHURCH:
Here the children, based on Shayne Holesgrove book “Rooted” which is of
course based on the Bible, through skits and other illustrations, are
learning about some of the many benefits of salvation.
MANDELA DAY:
The village also celebrated Mandela Day with Miss South Africa in
attendance, and a hot meal served for all in the central square. We
delivered approx. 120 sacks (+ 10 pieces in each) pizza bases/bread.
SPECIAL EVENT AT MILA'S:
We also attended a special event at Mila’s Daycare in Sir Lowry’s Pass.
I was invited to give a speech in which I was able to glorify the Lord
for the way He has blessed and prospered Mila over the years. At the end
I received a beautiful bouquet in recognition of Force4Good and our
contributions.
BRIGHT STARS - NOMZAMO:
Bringing our monthly shopping to Bright Stars Kitchen. This kitchen in
Nomzamo serves approximately 300 people from Monday through Friday.
ANGELS' KITCHEN -SIR LOWRY'S PASS:
Bringing monthly shopping to Angels' Kitchen in Sir Lowry's Pass.
Jessica started out serving 60-70 kids a day, but has now expanded to
over 100 a day as she has felt moved to reach out to a much neglected
area in the village.
WINTER SOCKS:
We received a large amount of sock from GB Lions’ Club that were
distributed for us by two different soup kitchens. Some were brought
directly to the homes of the sick and elderly. Thank you!
PIZZA BASES AND BREAD:
Joyce's Kitcehn Sir Lowry's Pass!
Mila's Angels' Kitchen sir Lowry's Pass!
Seven kitchens are receiving regular donations of pizza bases and/or bread.
One Food Bank,
And 3 ECD centers, We than the donors for their generosity!
MILK:
A monthly donation of 100 liters distributed in Sir Lowry’s Pass and Nomzamo!
WOOLWORTH'S:
Sorting, weighing, packing, and delivering one of the 6 pick-ups that
are presently assigned to Joyce’s Kitchen. We assist with this once a
week and different staff members do the rest of the pick-ups.
WEET-BIX:
14 large boxes of Weet-Bix were collected and distributed in Nomzamo and
Sir Lowry’s Pass to 6 different places: ECD centers (Early Childhood
Development) and a soup kitchen that feeds the children before they go
to school!
LIFE-GROUPS AND OUTREACH:
 This
is our early morning Bible study in Nomzamo. We are happy to repost
that the Lord is adding people to each of the three groups we are
presently leading. :)
In the photo below Philip is ministering to a group of people already
lined up for the soup kitchen to open. They were all open to the message
and prayed with Philip to receive the Lord!
This month we have had an especially rewarding month visiting several
people in their homes to pray for the sick, visiting the HH hospital,
establishing new connections, having people over for the first time,
being blessed in so many ways in order to be a blessing. Thank you so
much for the vital part you play in partnering with us and enabling us
to keep going for Jesus! THANK YOU!
Much love and appreciation,
Philip and Rita
