Change The World Educate Girls

Many kids joined us today. Their fervent, vibrant worship lifted the rafters. Then Lovejoy brought the message on worship. He asked the people what worship is. Because we can not see God, we must worship Him in spirit and truth. Even though we can not see God with our eyes, we can worship Him with our lives. As the early believers worshipped, their chains fell off. The moment that we start to worship, addictions fall off us. The way we serve and do our jobs is worship. We are serving God, not man. Even our bodies were created for God’s worship. For example, even intimacy within marriage is worship. We can also worship our addictions. We live for Christ or for ourselves. In everything that we do we are worshiping for better or worse. Whatever we do we must do it for God’s glory. ... See more

While the girl sang the song, “Good, good Father,” three boys appeared before the locked gate, drawn by the singing voices. They asked if they might join. Unfortunately, I had to tell them that the choir was made up of only girls. They stated that they wanted someone to teach them. So then Waldo, Dwayne, and Zachary, agreed in prayer with me that the Lord would raise up someone to minister in the community down the street: Russell Street. YWAM used to have a ministry in their apartment building. Today is Waldo’s birthday. ... See more

After a two-week hiatus, the girls are back with joy in their hearts and singing voices.

Although the girls do not have school this week, some of them are busily and diligently hard at work. They come to the ministry house each day, under the direction of Samantha Jones, and sew wonderful purses, make-up bags, and other goodies.

Look for us at Groenstoor (hopefully) and other venues as we sell the girls’ work. After working from 8 to 12, the girls take a nice leisurely lunch in the garden and generally enjoy playing the game of Life. ... See more

Yesterday, since Jay brought a powerful and impactful message.There are all kinds of power, electric, thermal, etc. In South Africa, we have been experiencing load shedding; twice a day, we lose electricity. But God‘s power is ever abandoned and present.

In Luke 6:17-19, the sick and infirm were healed by Jesus’ power. Luke 8 tells of Jesus’ power; thru the hem of His gown, a woman who suffered 12 years was healed. Jesus responded, “Your faith has made you whole.” Our faith connects with Jesus’ power. Put your faith in God’s power. Prayer is powerful to change your circumstances.

May we always lift up our eyes to the hills from whence cometh our help. Our help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth (Psalm 121). ... See more

Yesterday, we had a nice time of worship with a trio of the boys helping Uncle Tony led us in praise. Then, it was time to learn another “I Am” statement of Jesus: “I am the resurrection and the life.” Uncle Kevin began speaking by probing the students with these questions: “Who believes that they could live to be 100 years or 200 years or 500? Who believes that they would never die? Why do people die?” The kids responded that death comes by sickness.
Death came to mankind because of sin. Therefore, we no longer have eternal life. The wages of sin is death. But that is not the end. He spoke of heaven. It is the place where God’s kingdom is and those who do His will are invited. These people will be resurrected. Jesus is the answer to death. If your sins are forgiven, you have life. ... See more

Today, as we met at Pastor Folla’s soup kitchen, we found a crowd awaiting us. More than 100 children and adults were waiting for a special celebration that Pastor Folla is to conduct. We spent our time in praise and worship and reviewed the I Am sayings of Jesus and then enjoyed a special treat: cheese and meat sandwiches, chips, caramel apples, cookies, and cool drink. Enjoy listening to the children worship. ... See more

Feb 2018 & subsequent

Today in Riverview, we had this ecstatic warship. In addition, we took the time to review all the names of God and I am sayings of Jesus that we have learned thus far. We recited the 23rd Psalm and talked about how to listen and follow the Good Shepherd.

Holy Spirit is a gentleman, and many times, His voice is so quiet, almost a whisper, that we might miss it. Like the voice that spoke to the prophet Elijah, God doesn’t come in the earthquake or the strong wind. He comes in the quiet still voice, and we must listen. We played a game of “Mother May I” to illustrate how we must listen for “wait,” “no,” “yes,” “be still,” or whatever command God gives.
