Dear Pastor and Praying Friends,

We pray that this update finds each of you well and enjoying the blessings of our wonLord and Saviour. We continue to see the hand of God in our lives and the ministry hSouth Africa and we rejoice over the great things He is doing.

In July, we held our 5th Leadership Training Course for the young people. It was a greaof teaching and learning with God being glorified throughout the week. The spirit and attitthe young people were great. We had many opportunities to fellowship with them durintime and learn more about their struggles, concerns and ambitions for life. Our theme f

week was Living to Lead. Bro. Tom Stastny taugliving a victorious life and God led me to teach on h

balance in our lives. Much of what was taught was ne

very thought provoking for these youth and they had questions on how to live the way that God intendthem. Please continue to keep these precious young pin your prayers as they face many pressuretemptations to leave the will of God and pursue theilife in the world. The Devil is fighting and we continue to exhort and strengthen this next generation

Our time with the Bro. and Mrs. Tom Stastny was such a blessing! Not only did our fpersonally benefit from our time with them, they were also a great help and encouragemthe youth and ministries here. Bro. Tom taught the Tuesday night mens Bible study and foon overcoming addictions through the renewing of the mind. He also taught evangelism cin the institute and preached several times in the church services. Both he and his wife much time with the young people and were able to encourage them to continue to seek th

of God in every area of their lives. We were sad to see them leave but were so thankful ftime that God allowed them to be with us.

In our last update, we mentioned that the outreach in Hlalanikahle was growing anpeople were desiring to see a church begin in this area. Over the past few months, we havteaching on the Church and what Gods Word says a church is to be. We asked the peo

begin to think and pray for a name for the church. During this time, we prayed that God give unity and that the people would be together in the name choice.Hope Baptist Churcthe name that was decidedand we plan to have an opening service soon to launch the begiof the church. We ask that that you would please pray that God would continue to bless iwork and that we would see more people saved, baptized and added to the church.
