Each One Reach One

Each one reach one, what an opportunity we have, and what an amazing gift Jesus is to mankind. We get to celebrate together on Sunday as we glorify our Lord and Saviour. Let us pray together that we will mobilise to draw the lost into church on Sunday. It’s a day that many unsaved people are happy to attend church for religious reasons.

Let us also pray that those who have no revelation of Christ, have the scales peeled from their eyes, and commit their lives to Him.

Please keep Henriques and Sanel in your prayers as they lead in Maputo, and specifically for strategy and vision for the church.

God bless

23rd March - A Church that’s moving

One of the greatest truths that the bible speaks of regarding the church, is that Jesus is building the church. Jesus loves the church, Jesus died for the church, Jesus is the head of the church and Jesus is building His church. We can sometimes be caught up in the part that we play and attribute the success of a growing church to our efforts. Therefore it is of great importance that we humble ourselves and trust God for His will, His way. What a privilege to be part of what God is doing.


With that in mind, please join us this week as we pray into the many great adventures, that await us over the next few months. Firstly let us pray for:
1. Humility & Patience
2. That God would order our steps, and that we would walk in all that He has for us.
3. As the word of God is preached, lives would be changed and His word shall not return void.

God Bless

16th March - The Bride of Christ

As God has called us to reach the city and partner in spreading the Gospel, there is a sense that God is calling us to pray for “The Church”. Pray for the churches in our area and the greater Durban area. That Christ would be lifted up and that the lost would be drawn to him. The church would be the salt of the earth and that city set on a hill that cannot be hidden.

This Friday there is a youth event; Shaun Pollock will be sharing, pray that the young people will respond to the gospel.

Also there is a team going to Maputo this week end to encourage Henriques and Sanel in the launch of the church there.

Give thanks to God as he uses us to build his church and for the privilege of reaching the harvest.

God Bless

the work before us.

What do you do when with every passing day you sense an ever increasing leading from the Lord into a season of abundance? We are talking specifically of an abundance of harvest...
Friends, we have such an excitement brewing within us that God has connections laid out for each of us that we are yet to walk into. Our future involves people we have not yet met...
This means then... coming back to the earlier question... We pray that God would cause an intentionality to rise within everyone of us. That the Lord gives us an ability to see with greater awareness the opportunities of each day. And that our methods would fall into the structures of his great love and compassion.
Colossians 4 : 5 - 6

Open ears to the Lord

Lord, an hour with you is worth a hundred elsewhere. A thought to ponder on as we ask Jesus to direct us each and every day, renewing our strength and engaging us in the plans He has for us.

Let us pray together for Hendriques and Sanel as they complete their final preparations for their plant into Maputo. We trust that they will settle well and that God will bless them and the Church as they put their hands to work in a new field.

Closer to home:
-how big is our city vision?
-what has God got in store for us?
-how much faith do we have?

Lord your plans are greater than what we think.
