Eldoraigne - a community prepared by God

When we started with Eldoraigne last year Riëtte got a word that God will go out before us, that He will prepare the community, and this is exactly what we are experiencing.

People are being drawn into God's Kingdom from Eldoraigne without us necessarily having anything to do with it.
Here are just a couple of testimonies...

I went to rotate my tyres and I met JP - one of the guys who works there. He started talking to me and shared that he recently moved here from Hopetown (Northern Cape) and when he saw my number plate (also Northern Cape) he asked where I am from, how long I've been here, what I do etc.
Long story short, he shared that his life is really at a bad place and that he needs help. We met up for a drink and he just continued to open up. He is so hungry and desperate to be discipled. He also shared how he prayed and asked that God would send someone that will help him on the right track. God is truly faithful.

This past Sunday we had a lady from Eldoraigne come to church for the first time and at the end of the service she responded to the Holy Spirit and committed to follow Jesus with her life. Someone who came to church via another friend whom God has drawn in.

We also finally got together with Ruan and Corinne (the couple whom we met at the action cricket). We invited them over for dinner and we had such a great time together, really getting to know each other better. They got engaged over the December holidays and we are using this as an opportunity to speak into their lives, speaking from our own experience in this journey, the fears we faced. They are really open and hungry - in a place of need, even though they don't realize the exact origin of the need yet.

One of the teams at the Action Cricket whom we will be playing against regularly is also mostly from Eldoraigne and we know that God is opening doors for us. I am really excited about where we are currently, with the team as well, to see how they are creating their own opportunities to get involved in the community.

At the end of February we will also be having an Eldoraigne Vision Night where we will invite everyone currently part of the Centurion Congregation who are from the Eldoraigne area to join us. This will be an evening where we cast the vision for Eldoraigne and invite people to become part of it by simply reaching the lost and making disciples. From this the fruit will be a church plant!

Please continue to pray for us and for the community. The harvest is ready...
