Futsal community outreach

Yesterday was the adult tournaments. Congratulations on the champions!

Today is the youth tournament. Please pray for us. 

Futsal tournament

Today and tomorrow IMPACT is helping out with an event that includes a futsal tournament and a Kids Games outreach. Futsal is like soccer but on a smaller hard court with a heavier ball. Our interns have made teams amongst themselves and are actually playing in the tournament. Here are some pictures from the day!

Zoe made lots of friends and of course gave them all hugs like she does to most kids she sees!

Stellenbosch Sport Coalition Futsal tournament

This weekend we are partnering together with the Stellenbosch Sport Coalition hosting the futsal tournament. We are very excited. Please pray for the tournament, for the participants and for The Lords will to be done. 

Thankful for the visit!

We were so thankful to visit with Mike, Brittany and Craig for a couple of days! Thank you for your encouragement and love!

Jennifer is here!!!

IMPACT South Africa

Impact South Africa has started and today is day 14.  We praise God for all the amazing things that happened already and we have 7 weeks left.  

One of the topics that we discussed was our insecurities.  As disciples of Christ, our insecurities can hold us back from following God completely.  Whether our insecurity is not having enough money, always seeking recognition, always feeling like you have to perform to receive God's love, etc.  

Whatever insecurity we have...God calls us to lay it at the cross.  He died for us so that we may be completely free!  What are the insecurities in your life that are holding you back from following God with everything that you have?

Jennifer arrives on Wednesday!

Jennifer received her visa and is arriving in Wednesday morning in South Africa!  After a long wait she received her visa is heading to her new home.  We have been waiting in eager expectation for her.  This is truly an answer to prayer.  We praise God and believe that whatever happened, happened according to His plans and purposes.

Visit from Abilenians!

We are extremely excited to see Craig, Brittany and Mike soon!  They are arriving tonight (Sunday) and will spend the next couple of days here with us.  We are blessed to have them come and visit so soon!

We pray that they will have safe travels and that the Lord may bless our time together.

Tomorrow (Monday) is South Africa's national youth day.  We are partnering with other ministries doing an outreach in Cloetesville.  Please pray for the Lord to accomplish what He desires tomorrow.

IMPACT begins

IMPACT begins!!

Well, IMPACT has officially started!  We have a total of 23 interns from 4 different countries and a leadership team of 10 also from 4 different countries.  This group has jumped all in from the very beginning and it has been a blessing to see them learn new truths and apply them already so quickly!  So far, they have been involved with exploring Stellenbosch, getting to know each other, intense team building activities, a fitness test, serving a homeless ministry, and training on Building Effective Teams, Discipleship Making Movements, and Explaining the Gospel.

In less than a week, 4 of our girls will leave for outreaches in Zambia, while the rest stay in South African families' homes while we do outreaches here.  Prayers for team unity, intimacy with God, and open hearts will be much appreciated!
