God has greatly blessed Lighthouse Baptist Church these past few weeks. Our men are stepping up and getting more involved in ministry. Four men are now leading their own Bible studies and serving faithfully during our services. It’s been encouraging to see their growth and commitment.
This past week, I was asked to oversee another church while a missionary is out of the country, so I’ll now be working with both Lighthouse Baptist and Fellowship Baptist Church. I can only do this because of the help of our faithful men. Please pray that the Lord blesses both ministries as we serve Him together.

This week Camp Rhino will host another Soccer and Netball Tournament, with over 300 people expected to attend. Teams from our churches across Port Elizabeth will be competing. Pray that many will hear and believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ.


With the death of Charlie Kirk, I’m reminded about how little time we have to make an impact in this world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I also realize even more how important it is to boldly preach the Gospel to the lost in the public square. Would you pray that we would have more boldness in preaching the clear Gospel of Jesus Christ? So many are lost but need the truth.
Prayer Requests & Praise
- We took in two new children at the Rhino Youth Home this past month. Please pray for 11-year-old Lupawo and his 7-year-old sister, Siya. Also, pray that we can raise sponsors for each of them to help cover their monthly expenses of $125.
- We now have nine children in our care at the Youth Home. Pray that the Lord works in their hearts and that we’re able to raise up more house parents for this ministry.
- Please also pray for Dallas and Ashley Brown, missionaries in Burkina Faso. They are currently on furlough in the States, raising awareness for West Africa. Pray for their safety as they travel and that God will use them to help recruit more missionaries to Africa.


Quick Updates & Needs
- We are in the process of building three new apartments for our staff and campers at Camp Rhino and the Rhino Youth Home. $10,000 was given toward this project, which will help us complete the first apartment. We’ll need another $12,000 for the remaining two. Pray we can raise this amount before our summer camp season in December.
- We were planning to build two new girl dorms, but finishing these apartments for our staff will open up additional space we can use for camper dorms—and it’s about $10,000 less expensive. We still plan to build the new dorms, but it’s not as urgent as before.
- Tim and Jessica Johnson are almost finished with deputation and are scheduled to arrive in South Africa in December.
