Missions Feedback

The church is on a mission!!!
 
During the June/July holidays we had 4 different teams going on missions trips into Africa. 3 Into Botswana and another to South Sudan. We are passionate about the local church making a difference in their local communities, and that is how we do missions. Supporting local discipleship churches or church plants through serving, equipping, teaching and empowering local churches to be even more effective!
 
Incredible testimonies came back from the missions field as the blind see, the death hear and people are added to the Kingdom of God. It is also great to see the work that God does in the hearts of the people who go!
 
Here is a link to feedback from the youth mission that went to South Botswana.

Africa Dream Church Plant School 2013

We have a dream in Every Nation to reach every nation in Africa through planting at least one disciple making church in every nation in Africa - by 2020!!! We do this by making disciples, raising leaders and planting churches...

That is what the Africa Dream Church Plant School is all about...


I was really privileged to be sent by my local congregation to learn more about planting a church as we look towards to dream to reach Eldoraigne, Centurion. We had an incredible time! Over the course of the two weeks we were 47 adults and kids from 5 different nations coming together for one purpose - the honour and glory of God's name and His Kingdom.

We were blessed to have leaders who have really fought the battles when it comes to church planting imparting their knowledge and their life experience into us. I can honestly say we have learnt from the best, not because they haven't made mistakes, but because they were willing to make their mistakes our success stories. Truly humbling to have leaders who are not building on their own names or their own glory, but for the glory of God.

From the group attending the Church Plant School there will be 5 new church plants - Zimbabwe, Bulawayo; Mozambique, Beira; Lichtenburg, Olievenhoutbosch and Riebeeck Wes all within South Africa.
Then there are also 4 new congregational plants from our Every Nation Tshwane church in the Eastern Suburbs of Cape Town, Eldoraigne in Centurion, Moot and Mamelodi in Pretoria.

It has been incredible to see how God can knit people's hearts together in the space of two weeks. Where there is unity God commands a blessing!

Africa2020 is not just a dream, it's something that was birthed in the heart of God and today we are living that dream!
