Prayer and Praise Update

Dear Praying Friends,

Your prayers DO make a difference. Thank you for your faithfulness!

Praise:

• While the clinic is being renovated here at Matukeng, we are having church
  
  in a tent. This has some challenges! Last Sunday a snake came into the tent during the sermon and caused quite an uproar. (I'm still not sure, but I think it was not dangerous to humans. At least no one was bit!) This Sunday when I went out to the service at 10:00am the wind was so strong that side poles were falling down and the side curtains of the tent were blowing off. I was afraid we might not be able to safely hold a service. We prayed for the Lord to stop the wind, and within minutes things were calm. We had a blessed service. It was a clear answer to prayer, and I believe a witness to the new people who are attending.
• As I just mentioned, we have new people visiting the church here at Matukeng. Praise the Lord for the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives.
• We thank the Lord that Mr. and Mrs. Howard are safely in Africa. We are enjoying fellowship with them, and I know they are enjoying being with Jeremy and Delani.

Prayer:

• Two pastors in Lesotho have recently experienced deaths in their extended families. Pray for Rev. Molise and Rev. Majola and their families.
• Please join us in praying for revival at the Mauersnek congregation in Ladybrand, South Africa.
• We want to ask for special prayer as we have some very important meetings. Please ask the Lord to give us wisdom and clear direction for the good of His Kingdom.
• Help us pray for the new people who are visiting and attending the church at Matukeng. Some of them have gotten saved I believe, but others are still evaluating Christ's claims for their lives. Please pray for clear conversions.

"The Lord is...not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance." 2 Peter 3:9 NKJV

Thank you for praying with us!

Lesotho Update

Dear Praying Friends,

Once again we want to express our gratitude for your faithful prayer support.  I am trying to get back to my twice-monthly schedule for these updates, so this one is coming a bit sooner than you might have expected.  Please join us in praising God and reminding Him about these needs.

Praise:

• Rev. Kali reports that there were quite a few visitors at Ha Motheho yesterday.  All the benches were completely full.  Praise the Lord for the wonderful growth in this congregation!
• We also had visitors at Matukeng yesterday.

Prayer:

• Please keep praying for the clinic renovation.  The job site is still idle.
• Continue praying that the Lord will prepare us and the Howards for their upcoming field visit.  We all need God's wisdom and clear guidance.
• Once again we asked that you would pray for needed staff at Hope Christian Academy in Ladybrand.

“I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had no where else to go. My own wisdom and that of all about me seemed insufficient for that day.”  --Abraham Lincoln

Thank you so much for praying!

Taking up the Offering

I thought it was a very creative offering plate and a great way to get children involved in ministry!  I apologize that this picture isn't very good.  Maybe some day I'll trade my Blackberry in for an Iphone!

Lesotho Update

Dear Praying Friends,

Praise:

• The Marais are back from Zimbabwe.  I haven't heard a full report of their trip yet, but I gather that they were able to sell the Bibles and do the maintenance at the school.  Praise the Lord for the success of this ministry and His protection over the many miles they traveled.
• Thank you for praying for Rev. Kali Nthabi's family during the loss of his mother.  Though this time was very difficult for them, we could see that God was with them.  Please continue to pray for them, and especially for those who do not know Jesus as their Savior.
• Praise the Lord for a successful weekend revival/tentmeeting at Mapoteng this past weekend.  The pastors who went are reporting that quite a few people came forward to seek the Lord Saturday night.
• God is working in the churches in Ladybrand.  The pastors told me that there are several people really seeking the Lord.  

Prayer:

• Please help us pray for the renovation of the clinic here at Matukeng again.  There have been major problems with the contractor and no work has been done for more than a month.  
• Mr. and Mrs. Howard (Africa Regional Director) will be coming for their annual field visit at the end of May.  Please pray that the Lord would give them wisdom for the leadership of the work here.  Also pray for traveling mercy!
• Please pray for the Chinese Outreach in Lesotho.  Two weeks ago I went into a business which is owned by Chinese people whom Ntate Pheko has befriended.  They were so warm and friendly that I could see that God is clearly working in their lives.  Please pray for their salvation!
• Keep praying for revival in Africa!

"Then He spoke a parable to them that men always ought to pray and not lose heart..."  Luke 18:1 NKJV
