These have been the most difficult of times and the most beautiful of times. We have never done so much planning and UN-planning! We treasure opportunity to gather together that has often been thwarted as the covid numbers surge. Each fellowship has responded uniquely to the pandemic. Folk continue to encourage, care for and pray for one another. In April we were so glad to have a couples for Christ weekend with just 8 new couples. A blessed relationship workshop for the students was held in Pretoria at the end of May and the young adults fitted in a small but powerful youth camp late in June. The Word has been preached effectively, believers are growing and learning to walk in step with the Spirit and the Body of Christ is a haven for lost souls. Times are not easy but serving Jesus is so, so worthwhile and His joy is our strength. We have been prepared for a time such as this.

Gina Warne and her family are walking through deep waters. Aunty Amy Brolé, Gina’s Mom, passed away on 29 June 2021. We share their sorrow and pray for them.
