In a World Full of Bad News…
BE the Good News…
GO with the GOSPEL!!!
Our pastor, TJ McBride, declared 2022 as the year of the COMEBACK and, in March, prophesied we would return to South Africa because there was unfinished business. Indeed, we CAME BACK and witnessed above what we were able to ask or think.
Highlights of the mission included:
Salvation of 121 souls,
2 deaf healed,
and one lame walked!
Feeding Scheme Ministry…
Feeding physically
Tent Crusade…
Spiritually fed
One on one evangelism/ministry
Preaching and teaching
Like Hannah in I Samuel 1:10, Nolusha prayed to the Lord and wept with many tears… she was in bitterness of soul and prayed unto Jehovah for two years to be rescued from what was intended to be a haven for abused women and children that had become a place of desolation, government corruption, located in a red-light prostitution and drug trafficked environment. For more than three months they lodged in their current dwelling without lights or water. The residents longed for a return of morning devotions, salvation, personal development, renewal, restoration, revival, and RESCUE!
GOD HAS HEARD AND ANSWERED HER PRAYERS!!!!!!!!!
He Has Rescued My Life
He spoke to us to find a house. The S.A. realtors prayed with us.
The seller prayed that the buyers would use the dwelling for ministry.

2 kitchens ~ 7 Bedrooms ~ 2 Living rooms
A place where women & children can be nurtured in the word, be restored, recover, and renewed to follow Christ’ plan and purpose for their lives to the glory of God.
Here is how you can partner with the plan of God:
URGENT
PRAY
That Nolusha (house mother), and Thando (social worker) will be able to take occupancy by Christmas.
That all the finances and final payments for the house are secured by January 2023
That “Lifeline” South Africa’s link to the social services department helps us secure salaries for the national workers.
GIVE
Give towards the outstanding amount owing to close on the house by January 2023. We are eternally grateful for the anonymous donor who gave generously towards the total cost of R2,350,000. The outstanding amount is $40,000. Here is a tremendous opportunity to meet the end-of-year U.S. tax-giving deadline. Greater yet is the opportunity to partner with the Lord of the end-time harvest.
Proverbs 19:17
Whoever lends/joins with the Lord/ partners with God by offering Him your resources… He will reward/repay the lender for what they have done.

TESTIMONIALS
To mention some of the greatest parts of our return to Africa 2022 was seeing fruit that remains. When our Savior says go and make disciples, we did and return to see them still bearing fruit. We know our labor is not in vain. The cycle is complete when the disciples we led have now and are also making disciples.
Baba’s mentee, Senzo and others thank him for deposits made man to man!
Nalisa remembers when at age 7 we gave her a toy sewing machine. She is now a well-known seamstress and glorifies the Lord with her gift.
“We continue in prayer for you and remain joyfully, together in His service ”
