South Africa Mission Team #4 Ready To Launch on Friday!

The 4th South Africa mission trip team has been been preparing for many weeks now. We can't believe that our trip is right around the corner! Our team consists of Keith Matney, Kevin Horton, Katie Miller, Antoine & Mel Anderson and Mitch & Mona McDonald. What a privilege for us to be able to represent FSBCS in Pretoria as we work with Julius & Cintia Mbu and our South African family of Hope Baptist Church. We all have stories of how God prompted each of us and made things work for us to be able to participate in this amazing trip, the way only God can. We depart the morning of Friday the 21st and will arrive the afternoon of Saturday the 22nd. (By the way, Pretoria is nine hours ahead of Arizona.  We fly from Phoenix to Atlanta, and then a 15-hour flight from Atlanta to Johannesburg.) We will travel back to the US on Tuesday, March 4th -- arriving home on Wednesday the 5th.

We anticipate this mission trip to be focused on one-on-one evangelism. We will be sharing our personal stories daily as a lead into sharing the Gospel. We expect to have MANY conversations sharing the hope we have in Christ as we hand out prescription glasses, reading glasses and sunglasses. We will also have the opportunity to be a part of a leadership training for children's workers and church planters.

In one of our recent team meetings a quote from a training video caught our attention. It said, "When men work, men work. When men pray, God works." Now we ask you to please pray for us daily: 

1. For walls to be broken down so the Gospel can break through
2. For Julius and Cintia as they plan and direct our work
3. For our families while we are away

As you pray please know that this is your trip too. We're excited to be able to come back and share with you the great things God has done because of the support of your prayers!

 

As long as our internet connectivity cooperates, we will try to post here regularly throughout our trip, so check back often!
