Great Commission Course Recap

          Finishing up with training tomorrow. This has been such an amazing 3 weeks of training the body, mind, and soul.

          This last week we got to do a few more outreaches, one handing out tracts to traffic as they passed by, and another was working at a mission station the whole day to dig out the foundation for a milk shed. When we got back that night, we had several Sudanese folk over to Livingstone House and celebrated the liberation of South Sudan from the Communistic North. Next day at church i was able to share my testimony and give a brief devotion. Then Monday, we had our course exams for a few hours covering the material we've discussed throughout the course. to end the day off we did another night hike up a river (this time also going through a water tunnel, so we had to work a plan to get all the backpacks through then the people).

Looking out over one of Table Mountain's gorges
          After some lectures the next morning we headed off to the shooting range to get some target practice. Got to fire a .22 rifle, a 9mil pistol, a shotgun, and a scoped 308. Lots of fun! Then after a braii there, 5 of us got an opportunity to speak on a radio broadcast (104 Radio Tygerberg) and give our testimony or a message for a 45 min slot! Such an amazing experience! Found out that there were 1.5 mil listeners! but definitely something i'll get to do more this year. Then today, we hiked up along and down Table Mountain. Absolutely stunning views! We started in the afternoon and finished coming down a gorge at 21:20.


          One of the things that has been a great impact to me has been going through the Way of the Master film series each day. I would highly recommend for people to get and watch through it. its widely changed the way i see evangelism and has had a good effect in deepening my walk with the Lord.


          Please pray for omy Zambia trip coming up: I'll be leaving for that shortly. Can't post too much detail at this point, but it's going to be a lot of work involved with preparing sermons, getting gear ready, etc., and its just a small team of us. Pray that the Lord would use us and increase the fervor and fear of the Lord within the people there. Pray that our own walks would be strengthened, so that in going in to Zambia, the depth of our love and knowledge of the Lord can flow out through our lives.
I'll post more items of prayer soon. 


          Thank you so much for your support. The Lord is doing amazing things...as is His nature. Praise God!
