Dear Friend
"And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. ", Philippians 1:6.
Ministry
Despite the challenges we can see God at work in our lives and through us. Since the last Summer with its successful Summer Adventure and also the challenge of our van being out of service.
- At this moment we have an urgent need for a vehicle (preferably a mini bus). The YWAM van is now off the road due to continual costly issues. the present issue is a serious and costly one having to do with the engine or (Head gasket). We pray for God’s provision for a mini bus that will help us to move children , youth, volunteers and family around.
Children & Youth Club
Kids Clubs on Saturdays
This month the children from the Kids club were being taught on the Holy of the Spirit and the challenge for them was to make an artistic musical composition on one of the Fruit of Spirit. It was amazing to listen to their creations.
We pray that the children and youth that we disciple every week will grow to love and serve Jesus and that they will be examples in their homes and schools.
We are preparing to take the Kids for the Christmas Cookies Treat to Men in Uniform once more this December.
Online Inductive Bible Study
Presently we are completing the study of the Book of Romans and it is refreshing to be reminded that just like the believers in the Church of Rome, whether we come from a religious environment like the Jews or from this society that doesn't care about following the religious law like the Gentiles in Rome; we all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23.) and are justified only by His grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, (Romans 3:24) for this reason we are called to present our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.(Romans 12:1.)
Please pray for the two groups that are studying the Bible with us on 2 different days - Mondays and Fridays. That all will be persevering in learning and applying the principles in their lives.
Prayer Station
Some local churches have shown interest and we are doing the prayer station with them now in a location they are targeting for the past few months.
Ministry with the Local Churches:
Pray for God’s direction, wisdom as we consider partnership and ministry with the local churches and especially the PAWI assemblies where Marylin has some responsibilities with the local missions department. Pray for God’s wisdom as she goes about it.
Local Church Members Active in a Prayer Station
Juvenile Boys Centre
Board games with the boys at the Juvenile Centre
For the past few weeks three teenagers from the detention group have asked for prayer and requested Bibles. We provided one of the Bibles and will bring the two other Bibles at our next weekly visit. We are praying for more opportunity and partnership to take the boys out for more diverse outdoor activities, but also for a structure and mechanism to follow up those who left the centre and that some will approach us when they meet us in town.
