Lord it's all about Your glory...
Thank You for the many salvations we see each and every week. We pray for the discipling of each of those who commit their lives to You. We pray, also, that You will continue to revive the work that You are doing in our city, and fan it into flame.
As we stretch out into the city, use us wherever You wish. We trust that You are preparing each and every one of us for what You are calling us to do in serving You.
We pray for all the churches in our community and city; that You will build and strengthen each one. Thank You that You are building Your Church.
As we consider all the above, let's pray for the Church as a whole:
1) HCF / CityHill
2) Other churches in our city
3) Churches across the world and specifically Billy and Aileen Fourie who planted into Milan last week.
God bless,

God has given us a huge responsibility as a church: to be salt and light wherever He calls us to be (Matt 5:13-14). There are always opportunities at hand for us to put our faith out into the community and city, even at the marriage seminar happening with Mark Gungor this weekend.
As we move into different parts of the city, we are called to extend our hand toward the people in that community. The question is this: within all these opportunities that God brings our way, who is it that you are extending your hand toward? There is a selfless way within the Gospel and we are challenged to lay down our lives as we follow Him.
As we pray this week, let's see our roles clearly as individuals with the responsibility God calls us to. Pray that our hearts and hands would be open and extended toward those He calls us to and that we would lay our lives down daily for Him and His call.
God bless,

What an incredible weekend and what a privilege to have had Mark Gungor with us. He has made a huge deposit from God's Word into marriages and also to the single folk here at HCF. There have been many testimonies, even from the unsaved, about the impact of his ministry.
As we gather together in our small groups over the next few weeks, and spend time working through the study guide, we can open up our hearts and allow God's Word to wash over us. Let us become doers of the Word and not hearers only. We pray that marriages in our community will forever be changed.
Proverbs 24:3-5 (Amplified Bible) Through skillful and Godly wisdom is a house, a life, a home, a family built, and by understanding it is established and by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
It is only God's Word that can bring life. Allow God to breathe life into your marriage, into your home, into your family and into your relationships.
God bless,

It's been coming for a while now, and we are happy to say, "It's official"! HCF Waterfall is fully online. Saturday saw many from the community pass through to check out the sights and sounds of the Rock Road street party, and Sunday saw the newly upgraded hall packed out with people celebrating a wonderful moment in the life of HCF.
Here are some things we can pray for this week:
1) That we continue to trust together as a church for the "Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage" course; that it be well attended, and that marriages will be strengthened and equipped.
2) For our city: We all witnessed a rejuvenation in the city over the World Cup. As the church, we pray for a spiritual rejuvenation. We pray, Lord, that You give us the strength and boldness to declare the mystery of Christ to our friends, family, strangers and our city.
"All the world would be Christian if they were taught the pure Gospel of Christ" - Thomas Jefferson.
Let the city of Durban see the glory of God, as we commit to live out the pure Gospel.
There is a deep sense that God is leading us into new things. We thank God for vision, both collectively as a church, and for individuals and families in the life of the church.
God bless,
