WE HAD RAIN FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS AT A RATE OF 100mm PER WEEK. THE DRIZZLE IS TYPICALLY OF THE CAPE IN RSA AND IT MAKES WORK OUTSIDE VERY DIFFICULT. ROADS ARE VERY WET AND ON THE OUTREACH THE PAST WEEKEND TO BENGA, WHICH IS ABOUT 85KM FROM US, WE SUFFERED IN THE MUD . VAALJAN WAS AT ITS BEST TOWING OUT A TOYOTA WHICH IS ALSO 4X4.THE FORD TOYOTA CONFLICT AT ITS HEIGHT!
THE PASTOR AT BENGA HAS MOVED TO SONGO AT THE COHORRA BASSA DAM AND WE TOOK PART IN HIS RELEASE FROM THIS CONGREGATION. THE LIGHTNING WAS SEVERE AND A FLASH STRUCK SO NEAR TO THE CHURCH THAT 3 PEOPLE FAINTED. THANK THE LORD THAT NOBODY WAS REALY HURT IN THE PROCESS.I REALLY WONDER WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN THE SPIRITUAL WORD – I BELIEVE THE CONFLICT WAS HIGH.
GREAT THANKS GOES OUT TO THE CONGREGATION OF GOUDINI WHO DECIDED TO GIVE US SOME SUPPORT – WE PRAISE THE LORD FOR YOUR DEED OF COMMITMENT. THE PASSAGE FROM EZEKIEL 3:17-19 HAS BEEN ON OUR HEART THESE PAST WEEKS; WE HAVE A GREAT RESPONSIBILITY TOWARDS THE PEOPLE AROUND US BUT EVEN A GREATER ONE TO THE PEOPLE FAR FROM US LIVING IN THE ABSENCE OF THE GOSPEL. JESUS SENT HIS DISSIPLES OUT WITH THE GOSPEL WHICH IS THE FIRST AND FOREMOST COMMISSION OF THE CHURCH. PAUL IS THE VERY EXAMPLE OF HOW IT SHOULD BE DONE. IT IS THE ONLY WAY THAT THE END WILL FINALLY COME ACCORDING TO MATTHEW 24:14. THESE ARE THE WORDS OF THE LORD HIMSELF: AND THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM WILL BE PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD AS A WITNESS TO ALL THE NATIONS,AND THEN THE END WILL COME.[NKJV COPYRIGHT 1979.1980,1982 BY THOMAS NELSON,INC].
WE ARE HAPPY THAT OUR FRIEND WILHELM HAS ARRIVED AND WE WILL BE HAVING A FARMING GOD`S WAY TRAINIG WITH MEMBERS OF OUR CONGREGATION ON THE 11AND 12TH OF APRIL. FARMING GOD`S WAY IS AN APOSTOLIC INITIATIVE FOR PREACHING THE GOSPEL, STRENGTHENING AND PLANTING CHURCHES AND EXTENDING THE KINGDOM OF GOD WITH AN EMPHASIS ON SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE AS A MODEL FOR LIFE TRANSFORMATION OF INDIVIDUALS, COMMUNITIES AND NATIONS. [AS QUOTED FROM THE FGW MANUAL 2007].WILHELM ELS DOES TRAINING ALL OVER AFRICA AND WE ARE PRIVILEDGED TO HAVE HIM DO IT HERE. LOOKING FORWARD!!!
LOOKING BACK ON THE PAST 9 MONTH WE ARE MUCH MORE AWARE OF THE METHODS OF FARMING AND THE EFFORTS THAT ARE MADE TO CULTIVATE LAND, SOME JUST BECAUCE THEY WERE EDUCATED IN METHODS WITH NO OR LITTLE PURPOSE. WE HOPE TO GUIDE THIS ENERGY INTO MORE PURPOSEFUL ACTIVITIES WITH BETTER RESULTS.FARMING GOD’S WAY IS SUCH A TOOL AND THE METHODS ARE SIMPLE BUT VERY EFFECTIVE. EVERYTHING CHRISTIAN LIFE TEACHES IS VISIBLE IN THE METHODS AND TEACHINGS OF THIS PROGRAM AND BUILDS AND REACHES PEOPLE IN A SPECIAL WAY.
GREETINGS FROM CHANDAME WITH THIS UPDATE SO CLOSE TO THE PREVIOUS ONE BUT TIME MADE IT POSSIBLE.
JANNIE AND SUSAN SMIT, MOZAMBIQUE
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!
