Thanks for stopping by. This past month here in Paarl has been very exciting. About two weeks ago we were asked to come to a primary school (elementary/Jr. high) in the area by the principal of the school to meet with him. He had heard about the youth outreach that we have been doing on two local wine farms here in Paarl and he wanted to talk to us about coming and maybe doing something for the school. Anson and I went to meet with him and he asked what exactly it is that we do and we just told him that we have a time of worship and then bible study. To make a long story short...he invited us to come and do an outreach for the entire school (about 1200 students). The outreach went really well, Anson did a great job making the time of worship fun for the kids and I just went out there and gave them the gospel in as simple terms as I could and then gave an invitation which is pretty much unheard of here. Only the Lord knows how many kids really gave their hearts to Jesus but at least 800 hands went up when I gave them an invitation PTL.The farm outreach on both the farms are going great as well. Please keep these kids in prayer as we have just recently found out that the two farms that we minister on are the two worst farms as far as crime goes in the whole valley...God knows where He wants us to be.
Our Sunday night bible study is going great as well, the Lord is really blessing. New people have been coming every week for the last few weeks so PTL for that. Please keep this in prayer and also that the Lord would open up a venue for us to meet in as we are outgrowing our living room quickly.
Our two creche containers were set on Saturday in the local township (Mbekweni) and we're looking forward to the opportunities to minister there that will be coming up soon.
Please pray for me as I have been asked to teach at Calvary Chapel Kommetjie this Sunday. Also please remember the Sexton family in your prayers they are a great blessing to us and the Lord is really using them as they are leading these farm outreaches each week. Pray that the Lord would provide for them a permanent place to live and also for a vehicle. Please pray also for unity within our home and ministry and that the Lord would send more laborers to come help us in this work.
Thank you for you're prayers and support....we miss you all so much and we love to get E-Mails so please write us when you get a chance.
Blessings,
Mike, Misty, and Michael
