Dear brothers and Sisters,

With joy I greet you, with love I greet

you. Under the shelter of gods grace

Ive been kept , and under the wings of

his unfailing love Ive been resting .

love the Lord God with all

your heart, soul, strength and

mind and love your neighbour

as yourself.

The lord is been very good, the lord is

been moving miraculously in this

township Im living and working and

serving.

Ive been in this township over 3 years,

learning how to love my neighbour.

when God called me to work and serve

in this township. he showed me the

vision of dry bones as he did to Ezekiel

and I was able to see the need in myown nation. My eyes were opened and

I saw poverty, what William Carey

called the poverty of mind . When I

first came to serve as a devoted lover

of Christ who was ready to love his

neighbour with passion and

compassion, the vision was to help

them, but over time Ive realised they

are helping me . My neighbours have

taught me how to live for Christ, in the

way Jesus spoke of in that verse (luke

10:27).

Thank you for all the

investments in prayer,

friendship, kind words and

financial support.

I truly treasure all support you

have offered and offering. If

you feel called to give towards

the ministry or send me gift of

any kind, please contact me

from here.

Mama Irene..

This mama, (mama Irene), she is one

faithful disciple of Jesus Ive watched

grow . She accepted the lord and got

baptized , last year after 2years of

discipleship .she sells pillows and clothes

colleted from people houses forliving .she makes pillows by her own

hands . She makes about 15rands($2) , in a

day or less .but every time when I come

visit to her house ,she has an unmeasured

joy and peace .the praises to god of host

doesnt leave her lips. She constantly sings,

god has blessed my business. She has a

group of women meeting at her house for

a simple church .she is inspires me . She

taught me to appreciate god for every

blessings big or small .she taught me that

joy doesnt come from the things I own by

from the source that owns me(Jesus) .

Akho...

Akho was rejected by his father when his

mother was still pregnant with him, his

mother did the same when Akho was

born, she was young and scared so she

gave Akho to her mother to raise

him .When the mother died, Akho had togo and live with his Aunt (his mothers

oldest sister), who was a drunk .she

brought different man to the house .so

Akho was abused in the house and he

ended up in the street. He hated his

home, Akho confessed home was like hell

for me, feel more safe in the streets. So

Akho joined the gang, started using and

smuggling drugs , robbing people and he

will always end up in jail. So I adopted him

to come stay with me. I help Akho to

know the fathers love. Ive learnt that the

common need Akho and Ongani shared

was the lack of father figure in their lives.

Akho was now changing, he fell in love

with the word, he fell in love with Jesus. he

started gathering his gangster friends for

discovery bible studies(DBS).They

followed him as he was following the

lord .Akho adopted one of his gangster

friend who now accepted the lord tocome stay with us . Akho understand

discipleship as a holistically

lifestyle..continued across...
