To preach the gospel “in season and
out of season”.
We organized a big 3 day event with guest
speakers: Christiaan, Gerda, Kees, Philip and Rita; Christian movies (Bible
cartoons for the children and a different section of the movie “Jesus” each
night). We had full house every night! All 3 nights we served juice and
sandwiches, and on the last night everyone also took home a delicious hot meal
of rice and chicken curry. Over 130 hot meals were handed out and there was
still requests for more. In fact the event was so much appreciated, esp. by the
children, that we were asked to have such an event every weekend. Sad to say we
are not able to do it that frequently, but hope to have a special event at
least once a month. : Big Friday celebration at the soup kitchen. At
this event only Philip and I were available, whereas before we had lots of
hands on with most of our Life-team members! But the event went well, I, Rita,
shared the Word, we showed the last section of the Afrikaans movie Jesus, and
after special treats such as: juice, home baked cookies, marshmallow chocolate
covered Easter eggs, lollipops, a steaming hot meal where double portions were
served out, etc we had a good word of prayer where many eagerly opened their
hearts to the Lord, and some renewed their commitment. We want to send a
special THANK YOU to: The New Africa Juice Bar for their very generous
supply of top quality juice for the 3-days event (6-9 pm) as well as our Easter
celebration in the Sir Lowry’s Pass village! In fact without the love and
dedication of a vast number of you, all this would have not been possible, and
we want to send a special thank each one! In closing we want to ask you to
please keep the supply of electricity for the soup kitchen in your prayers, as
well as the needed supply of finances. With love and
appreciation, Philip and Rita
