Statistics have shown that when men have an encounter with Jesus there is a great likelihood that his family will change as well. This is what we were trusting God for during this year's Men's Camp. That men will have an encounter with Jesus and that they will start to lead as God has created and called them to lead - in their families, in their workplace and in society. We were really trusting God that this will not just be another weekend where men are moved with great worship and powerful messages, but that men will be restored into who God has called them to be. That their encounter with Jesus will propel them into the destiny and calling they were created for. We had an incredible time together and it remains so powerful to see men becoming vulnerable before God. Regardless of who we are, what our bank balance says, what job we have or what car we drive - we are all in desperate need of God in our lives. During this weekend there were so many powerful testimonies of God touching lives, changing hearts, restoring relationships and adding people to the Kingdom. God has such a desire to have a personal and intimate relationship with us - He will move heaven and earth for an opportunity to have relationship with us. Here are some video's from the weekend!
In Luke 10:2 Jesus sais, "The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest."
That is why we do Engage Training. Jesus promises that the harvest is ready, all we need to do is to go into the harvest field. Many times we as Christians don't go because of different reasons: fear, lack of training, lack of conviction, personal or external barriers, the list goes on. That is what Engage Training is all about - equipping believers to go into the harvest field, not as a programme or event, but as a lifestyle. Once a person's heart has been cut with the gospel that heart will not be able to remain silent.
During February and March we had two groups attending the Engage Training. One was a campus specific training - equipping a number of students specifically for their environment - and during the other training we had people from 3 of our congregations attending.
It is really incredible to see how people are eager to reach the lost when they themselves encounter the gospel in a fresh way. Christ is our hope, our salvation as well as our motivation. He is the reason we go to the harvest.
As part of the training we also practically go out to engage with people specifically using the GodTest - a tool developed to help us start a conversations that leads to us being able to share the story of Jesus.
