Worked with the Tshewane University’s campus ministry team to get ready for next week. I will be speaking to them at a prayer b-fast, a lunch hour service, and in the evening they will have an open forum where the students can take turns asking me questions. Pray I represent the Lord Jesus Christ with the utmost respect and preparedness! I love the fact that as I am dealing with this it is so much similar to the way students are back in the states. These guys are wanting to do great things on their campus but struggle with how to do it. Life is so much different over here and what works in the states is a roll of the dice if it works over here. So pray that I encourage them in the right manner. In the picture is Me, Lunga, Amanda, and Rose. Lunga is the African Enterprise representative in charge of organizing campus outreach for the universities. Amanda and Rose are leaders in the Christian Campus Outreach at Tshewane. They are wanting to start small bible study groups that meet once a month and I am coaching them on how to do it. Please pray for them. One idea I gave them is the project High Point has adopted called Project 333. Where you set your phone to go off at 3:33 pm to pray. Based on Jeremiah 33:3. They loved it and are going to do it. So looks like Project 333 has gone global now! Tonight we will do a prayer rally where Scott Lenning is speaking! Sunday we will have 2 large opening rally in two different Townships of Barberton and KaNymazane. Then Monday it is roughly 50 evangelistic meetings a day. There are only about 25-30 evangelists, so pray for those of us who have to speak a lot. One last thing to note for prayer, right now there is a stand off between the local labor unions and the South African Govt. It is a country wide issue and it affects schools, hospitals, and businesses. Picket Lines are drawn even in front of schools. Teachers are striking and students are not in school because of it. Pray this get’s resolved this weekend! If not, our speaking in the schools is done for. Also, if they can’t reach an agreement, they are expecting rioting and confrontation. Because we are registered with the U.S. Consulate here in SA, we are getting updates warning US citizens to avoid public places where confrontation is expected! Pray that God’s work will be done no matter what it takes and that we can use this strife as a tool to bring people to Christ!
Standing in the gap, Joey... So glad that the SDEA team exemplifies Christ in word and action... g
