OUR
GOD
IS REAL
This
is
best
illustrated
by
the l ives
of
the
men who follow and serve him. George Fuphi
was an e lde r in the c hur ch i n Stut terheim and
earned
his living working
as
a
petrol
boy
ser
vice s tation attendant . He was so faithful
in
his work
that
even
after five years, when I
visit Stutterheim, there
are Europeans
who ask
where he
is
and how he is getting along.
However , he left
the
work of petrol
boy
that
he might
study
fo r
the
ministry
and pre
pare himself
for
the service of God. After
he
had
taken
training, he was sent to be minister
of t he C r addock Circui t Th is work covers
a
large area going
northeast
to Hofmeyer, 43
miles away,
east
to Tarkastad which is
57
mile
and west
of
Craddock, amongst
the
fa rms al
most
40
miles.
Now he has
written that they
have gone south to Cookhouse where they have
been able to
open a
new
work.
As a minister, his
salary is often below
that
which he reeived
as
a petrol boy. In fact,
today
he
is no t
certain
just
what his salary
wil l b e
unti l
he
receives i t
Yet h e work s

to see the
work of the
Lord

There
is
nothing which touches
my
heart
more
than
when the African people
take up
an offering for their missionary. Many t imes
theyliterally
empty
their
po kets
to
m ke
their gifts, and what they
give
is
often
a big
portion
of their
entire
income. Yet i t i s al
ways
given with singing
and
thanksgiving.
If
you did not
receive their
gift, they would feel
that
you were not
happy with them
and
with
th e
work
of the
Lord
which
they
are trying to
do. These love offerings are iways used
fo r
th e w ork
of
th e L ord and neve r
fo r
ou r
own
personal use; for
we
fee l they
have
come
through
sacrifice,
and
the best way to
use
i t
is to help
with
the
work.
Visiting
a
church in Pondoland
or
one of
th e other farming areas,
I
am sure to come
home
with a chicken o r two o r three Some

become
a

John
Sherriff started
work
among
the Euro
peans
in Cape
Town in 1896.
First
work among
the Natives
started
by the
church in
Johannes
burg.
They called a Nat ive evangelist
in
1906.
Thomas Kalane was t ra ined
in
A mer i ca and
went to
Kimberley
in
1919
to start
a
work
among
the Natives .
This was th e
point
which
the
present
work has
followed up
most closely.
It is also
known
that
an
indigenous
work was
s t a r t ed a t
Kentani
on th e
eas t e rn
c o a s t in
1917.
Today
a
weak congregation still
gathers
there
for worship . O. E. Payne came to South Africa
^out
1923
when th e
government
demanded
European
oversight
to
any
group
receiving
money from overseas. He only
Hved
18 months
and is buried in Kimberley. Mr. C. B . T itus
followed him and worked
t i l l
1930 when he
went
to
America
for
furlough
and stayed
because
of
advanced age. There were no missionaries
then until
1949 when
the m Rees family
arrived
and gave supermision to the
work.
Mr.
and
Mrs. Max Randall joined the
work
in
1950.
Both families
have
now en tered
new f ie lds.
Our
own
family joined t he work in
1953

OUR GOD IS R E A L
The
most
thrilling story of achievement in
South Africa, recently, is that of the Afr ican
youth camp, though i t
is
still a
new
field which
we
are
only beginning to
touch
upon. Because
of the social structure amongst the
Africans,
little
attention has been
given
to Christian work
with
the
children
and
th e
young people. An
African has no wisdom,
i t
i s
said, until
he
becomes old
in
years, so little attention is
given to teaching
him. Sunday schools
are
comparatively rare
in
our African churches,
but are being established by t hose men
who
have been
in
th e Bible Training School.
Even
th en , the
Sunday school is for small children
only and consists of one class
for
all
ages
present. Very often th e
youth
quit
attending
at about 14 years of
age.
In
1961
we
decided to
attempt a
youth camp
to
be
held
at
th e Training school. The
three
Native mi n i s t e r s in th is a r e a had to
l e a m
from th e
ground
up
for they had
never
seen
such a camp held. There were 16 campers
the
first
t ime. The camp
was
held during
December summer holiday)
and in
spi te of
the inexperience, i t was enjoyed by all.
Much teaching was
given
and
six
were
bap
tized
at camp.
Our nex t camp was held
in
July
for this
is the winter season and
th e
young people
w ere
no t needed fo r work
a t
h o me O ur
number
had grown
to 27
campers and there
w e r e
f ive
confess ions
We
have just completed the third camp
with
32 campers
and another five confes
sions
of faith. The
idea is finding
favor
and the young people have asked if they could
have
another
during the summer
holidays.
Our biggest problem is transportation
for
them.
The Native people cannot afford the
cost of
transporting
them any
distance.
The
ideal
is
for
each
area
to
hold their own camp.
There again new leaders
will
have to be
trained.
As the
Afr icans accept the
young
people into
more
places
of
responsibility,
t he camp
idea
will
spread. Youth
evangelism
has untold promises
but
i t needs t ime to really
t ake hold in the
churches

This is th e story of a
little
African girl
named Tulisa
(meaning
peace). Her english

In
1960
her
father, Barnabas
Songos,
and
her mother , Anna Nxumalo , were marr ied.
Barnabas had
just
been
chosen
as th e mini
ster
o f t he
local
congregation to
succeed his
fatlier
who had just died. Anna
was
a nurse
in a T.B. hospital. She continued

Tulisa

each
day.
S om e ti me s s he f us se d

The

their

They
do not yet

any idea
when
they

Our two
days with the church here
were
very
profitable. Tusha then took us to Ashton for one day. This is a
new town, being
only about
ten
years
old, erected
around a cannery

for

Tusha went

rest

to

Because the

asked us
to
make
two
stops
in
his
circuit
?ather than take
two
days
at
one
place. The
first day wo
visited
Beaufort V/est. This was my first tiiiie here. But
what
a welcome they

of visitors to greet us and have a short period for talking before wo
wont to services
that
night. The
next day we drove
to
Nelspoort which
is
a
Provincial
TB hospital. I t really
sits
by i tself
many
miles
from any other
town
and has
its own
railway
station. The
location
which
is
provided
for
the workers there
is
very
nice,
i^ecause
It
was
a week day and those
from
outside places would not be able to
come
they decided
to
have
services in
the
l i t t le wooden building
they have built in their
location.
When services started hero the
building
was
about
half
full|
by the time I
started
to
proach
i t
was
full . But
s t i l l they kept
coming and
i t
was
raining
outside,
r i rs t
they took out the table, then in a l i t t le while they moved the
chairs
that
we
had been, si t t ing on and moved the
children
r ight up
to our feet. I t
is
rather difficult to have
to
stop
several
times in
the sorrion and s t i l l
feel
that the people got a l l the message, but
there
is not
much else
that
can bo done. Jim
Labatala,
the older
here has always
led
a
strong
work whereever he has been.
When
you
^\eet-:him-
ypix will-
find that he
is
a v ory quiet man but he
rbair^__
knows
how to
wi tness
-for
h is
Lord .
Next
stop
was Tarkastad where plans had been
laid for
the pour
ing of the foundations.
But
this
time
wo
found our ditches completly
f i l led with water. We helped then
to make more
blocks
and moved on
to
Queenstown. Because i t w as the
f i r s t
election
in
the Transkoi,^
the minister had
been
unable
to come, but
the
Elders
had
everything
arranged. I preached each evening and Enock Zobolo
tocJca
street
meeting after each service, l.rs. Malafu wanted us to see the child*^ - - p
ren of her Sunday School, which she had begun after she
returned
from | |
school
here . She had more than ^0 chi ldren present on Saturday mor
ning at 7*50
that we could give
them a
Bible
lesson and
take
a
picture

'
V/hon we
lo f t Queenstown
i t was raining, and I
hoped
it
would
^
not bo
so
a t
Tsomo.
I t had stopped bofopo we arr ived but the road . |
up
the
mountain
vras just too sl ippery, so
we lo f t tho
car
and
went
on by foot .and caiie later
with
tho oxen but by
that
time
i t
had begun
to rain again.
V e
did
have a
meeting with tho
men of the church
that night and a good
meeting
on Sunday morning despite the
fact
that
i t
was s t i l l ra ining. That afternoon we moved on to Idutywa for
