September Newsletter

Dear AFC Partners

Its a great joy to update you on the amazing goodness of the Lord in what He is doing in South Africa and the African Continent. We greatly value your prayers and support! He is at work in many unusual and glorious ways!

AFC Africa Conference

In August we held our very first AFC Africa Conference in Johannesburg, South Africa. Some of our key leaders working outside South Africa from countries such as Ghana, Malawi, Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe were invited. It was also a blessed time of networking and fellowship between these leaders and our SA Leadership. It was a great joy to have Pastor Tim Weaver from Cypress Bible Church visit and give some much valued input to our Church Planters.

Ghana Water Project

Cornelius and his beautiful family live and minister in Tumu, Ghana amongst the Sissala people in an area dominated by Islam – 87% of the inhabitants are Muslim. It has also become a very strategic area as Fulani refugees from Burkina Faso have fled there.

Cornelius recently shared in his update: “We have been providing water to the Fulani families as a way to show generosity and also to respond to their water crisis. They live in the bush with their animals and no access to the pipe water. This has helped us to win their trust, build friendships and open the door to the Gospel. They always come to our house and we go to their communities without restrictions.” Praise the Lord for what He is doing amongst the Fulani.

Going to the Nations!

At AFC we value exposing our Church Planters to what God is doing in the World! Sydney Yake, a Church Planter in the small town of Rhodes in the Eastern Cape, was recently invited to attend a training week with Operation Mobilization. He returned greatly encouraged and inspired as to what the Lord is doing in the nations and how his Church could play some small part in seeing the Kingdom come to many who have never heard! We are grateful to our partners connected with Rhodes who made this opportunity possible.
