Jordanstown Team



What a blessing it has been to have the Jordanstown Team here since Saturday. This week they have been working alongside the church at Khongalote to run a Holiday Bible Club. It has been so encouraging! I have been going out some afternoons with the twins and Naomi. Melvin has been accompanying the team for all the time. The first day I arrived I was overwhelmed by the number of children-160 sat under the tree listening to God's Word! Yesterday when we arrived 220 children were there! What an opportunity to share God's Word. Pray that these children will come to know Christ. Pray also that the church will have a real passion to continue outreach to this age group. Today was the last day of the kids programme. I have posted the team's schedule below so that you can pray for their activities over the coming days! Chamancolo is a shanty settlement area where need abounds! Pray for strength, protection and stamina for the team. Pray also that they will enjoy their experience and that God will speak into their hearts! We praise God for the team's willingness and their partnership with us during these 2 weeks-what a blessing!
