February Newsletter
The year is rapidly moving along with many good things to report! The Lord is faithful – He is building His Kingdom and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. We praise the Lord for that.
In this edition we provide some feedback on our recent Staff Coordinator Retreat, as well as Pastor Sakhekile’s Garden Project in Jeffrey’s Bay.
Staff Planning Retreat
At the beginning of each year, a focused few days of planning and team building is held with our Africa For Christ Staff. This year we were blessed to spend time together in the beautiful coastal town of Jeffreys Bay. Besides planning for the year, we had a very meaningful time dealing with topics such as team building, what it means to be an effective team, a personality assessment to help each other understand our different roles, as well as how to effectively manage a project.
Kingdom community transformation in J Bay!
It has been inspiring to see Pastor Sakhekile and his Church’s genuine desire to see Kingdom Transformation in an extremely poor township in Jeffreys Bay in the Eastern Cape.
With assistance from our Adopt a Village global partners, a rubbish dump is currently being transformed into a Community garden. This project has impacted many – in a practical way Jesus is being proclaimed – providing hope and inspiration of what can be done, even in a seemingly hopeless context.
Praise God for:
our AFC Staff – for their faithfulness and commitment
the community garden in Jeffreys Bay
Our Church Planters and their faithful service
Please pray for:
wisdom for our Staff in their many ministry responsibilities
Pastor Sakhekile and his family – for protection and fruitful ministry
the vegetable garden in Jeffreys Bay would be a success
