June 23rd marked the one year anniversary of my family arriving here in Port Elizabeth. It’s been a terrific year of learning a new culture, city, and part of the language. This year has flown by, but we’re even more excited about what’s ahead.
We just finished up hosting two groups and from the states. Pastor Tony Howeth and his gang from Newton Baptist Church in Covington, GA were a great blessing during the Youth Conferences in June. His preaching and teaching were a great help to the young people.
The group from Calvary Baptist Church in Hiawassee, GA and our two college interns worked tirelessly during our children crusades. There were over 30 professions of faith with over 600 different children in attendance between the 2 day meetings at each of the churches.
As much as all of our guest have been a blessing to us, we do pray there time here on the mission field will make a life long impact in their lives. Our heart and desire it to help people find their place in getting the Gospel to the world. The need for labourers, not only here but around the world, is still great. We pray the Lord will use this ministry to help raise up more of those labourers.
