In my last update I told you all that I would fill you in on what projects I am working with. The first one I want to highlight is an outreach called '10 Days for Jesus'. It is an outreach opportunity run every December from the All Nations base in Cape Town. We are starting on the 5th of December and going until the 16th. We have people come from all over Southern Africa as well as America and Europe. Our purpose is to set aside 10 Days to give something back to Jesus for what He has given to us. It started with one of my friends having the vision to give Jesus a gift during His birthday month and to inspire young people to give more of their lives everyday to Jesus. So, we have 10 Days of going into the communities, serving people in whatever way we can, living in community, and receiving teaching from different leaders in All Nations. It sounds simple but yet we have seen so many lives transformed. The ones who have had the biggest impact on me are the lives of the people we have discipled in the communities who have made the decision to do 10 Days for Jesus. Last year two of the people from one of the communities we work in decided to join 10 Days for Jesus and from there decided to do Cpx (All Nations' training school). They are now on fire for Jesus and making a change in the places they live. They even have a desire to move up into Africa and become missionaries in other places. It is so exciting for me to see people who are coming from broken backgrounds, have a very little or no support base, no income and still they make a decision to follow Jesus in such a radical way. It definitely challenges my own faith!
Well, this year one of the girls ,Pam, whom I have been discipling has decided to join 10 Days for Jesus. From there she wants to go on to another discipleship program that All Nations partners with called LXp (Leadership Experience). In this picture she is in the center.
I am so excited for her as she grows in her relationship with God and has a growing desire to change communities for Jesus. She does have the challenge of finances as well so please join me in praying for her that everything will be provided for her to do both 10 Days for Jesus as well as LXp.
So, right now I am doing mostly correspondence for 10 Days for Jesus which keeps me busy enough but I am looking forward to the actual outreach time. If any of you want to know more about it or want to join in anyway please let me know.
