Eldoraigne Church Plant


I am really excited to report that we have 5 new Connect Groups in Eldoraigne.
Currently there is a natural flow of people coming to our church from Eldoraigne and it is great to see them being established in family and also established into strong Biblical Foundations (through Connect Groups).

As a team we are really trusting God to reach those whose hearts He has prepared to receive the gospel. We have started building relationships at an indoor arena and looking to enter our own action cricket team. This will really be a great way to build relationship with people who do not know Jesus - of whom there are quite a few!

We are also pursuing the open doors we have at Eldoraigne High School and Zwartkop High School - to see how we can become involved in the community and become part of the lives of the people living in Eldoraigne.

I am really thankful that we have a strong team of people who are also passionate about God and passionate to see His Kingdom be established in Eldoraigne. It is a slow process, but I know that God is in this. I know that we are not building in vain - because God is building the house.

In John 4 we read the story about the Samaritan woman at the well having an encounter with Jesus. We see that she goes into the town (from which the disciples returned with food) and comes back with her whole town ready to receive the gospel. I know that God has prepared Eldoraigne for the gospel and therefore I am expectant to see marriages restored, broken families to be healed, people who are living in sin to turn towards Jesus and for Eldoraigne to be an example of God's glory restoring society...
