Called and Saved to Serve!
Proclaiming the Gospel of
the Kingdom of God to all Nations
“So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to
everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.”
Galatians 6:10
With God living on the inside of us, we have the
privilege of seeing others the way He sees them. We can love them with His love
and touch their lives with His peace. In God’s kingdom, greatness is
demonstrated by our serving others, just as Christ did. As Christians we have
been called and saved to serve – a living sacrifice. What can we do to help
someone today?
Reach Out and touch Love
Creating, working and giving
is Love made visible
God is Love.
For one week in January 2016 we had the privilege to
have 20 young people, staff from Campus Crusade for Christ/Jesus Film
Project and students from Gaborone University visit us on an outreach. The
visit was blessed with us being able to arrange for very scarce accommodation
in New Xanagas, especially for such a large group. We managed to obtain the
semi complete renovated community hall for the men and the Social and Community
Development Officer gave us her two bed roomed house for the Ladies. The Police
Station Commander from Kalkfontein borrowed us two tents as back up.
During a heat wave with temperatures ranging from 38
to 45 degrees the visiting team inspired all with early morning exercise and
prayers. All were invited to the Great Commission Ministry Course, they
split up into various teams, witnessed, visited and prayed with all in the
community – did washing of clothing and blankets, carried water and wood to the
old, had fun donkey and horse rides and played games with the children. The
Wednesday evening we showed the movie “Left Behind” – about the
rapture/blessed hope, which had a huge impact on those present. Friday
night the “Jesus Film” in Setswana was shown outdoors in the Kgotla
(village square). The film was shown on the big screen with the Cine reel
camera and several students gave their testimonies when the film-reel was
changed. Seven young people accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and
saviour. We Praise and thank our Lord for the Campus Crusade team and
for the wonderful work done during the short visit to New Xanagas.
