Lesotho outreach : Scenery
We were privileged to visit Lesotho on a mission trip from 1 to 7 October this year.
Free will
This was the first sermon I preached to a small congregation in the Lesotho mountains on 3 September 2017.
The sermon is in the form of a story with questions that they understood what was told, which is according to Lesotho’s people’s manner of communication. I enjoyed preaching for them and they freely participated in answering the questions. With the alter call we prayed for a number of people for healing and most were healed, these people are blatantly honest and tell you when they don’t feel better after you prayed for them.
Encouragement
- When you get to the point of total dejection – discouragement and you are empty, not worth anything, and totally drained.
- Depressed, seeing no use to continue with your obligations – don’t want to continue. Your tired, don’t want to get up in the morning.
- You recover halfway for a couple of days and then you go down again. A roller-coaster life.
Reaching this point is an indicator that you should start with a total overview on your walk with Christ.
Crusade
The Charis Bible College and Langeberg Christian Followship church held a 4 day crusade this past week.
Agtergrond:
- Zimpeto is een van Iris Ministries se uitreike. Hier gaan dit om wees-, verwaardelose-, mishandelde- en arm kinders. Daar is 250 kinders in die sentrum en ook ‘n skool vir 1000 kinders wat voorsien in die omgewing. Verder is daar ook ‘n kerk-gedeelte wat uitreike na die omgewing doen.
- Zimpeto is aan die noordekant van en steeds in Maputo.
- Ons was September 2012 by Zimpeto Iris om te kyk wat daar gebeur. Hulle was ook op soek na ‘n bestuurder vir onderhoud.
- 04 Oktober 2012 het ons hulle laat weet ons sal graag daar wil betrokke raak.
- Daarna moes ons baie inligting voorsien en op 6 Desember 2012 het hulle ons laat weet ons moet kom enige tyd na 7 Januarie 2013.
- Daar word ooreengekom dat ons 10 Januarie 2013 daar sal wees.
- 6 Januarie 2013 laat weet hulle ons die goeie nuus dat daar ‘n 3 slaapkamer huis, waarvan daar net so 4 of 5 is op die sentrum, vir ons beskikbaar is. Verder gaan ek moet help met die voertuie en ‘n groep kinders. Alta moet help met ontvangs van gaste en die dogters leer naaldwerk doen. Ma Nellie moes ook help met die ontvang van besoekers.
Die res van gebeure na ons aankoms volg.
