After a few years of interruption due to COVID-19, we are sending our NINTH team to South Africa to support our partner church HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH in Pretoria, South Africa. We are excited to bring an update on all of the work that has continued in these past years. team: Keith & Kathy Matney, Linda Briseno, John Herr, Steve & Joy Waller & Hannah

Coming Home!
There is one Body and one Spirit ~ just as you were called to one HOPE that belongs to your call ~ one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. Eph. 4:4-6
God's word is true. God's word is light. In Him darkness dare not dwell. His kingdom advances and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. How humbled we are to have come alongside these faithful members of the Body of Christ at Hope Baptist who are joining the Holy Spirit in His magnificent work in Sunnyside. How thrilling to bear witness to God's truth transforming lives and ministering hope. Our hearts are one in Christ and we are broken to leave. The servants of Jesus here certainly do have a "walk worthy of the calling to which they have been called with all humility" (Eph. 4:1).
All week long, we have been treated as highly honored guests and yesterday, the church put on a big braai (barbeque) for us. It was a sweet time of fellowship and tears as we prepared to say goodbye to some of the kindest, warmest people on earth. What a privilege to be here (have we said that before?).
Mel Anderson worked on the data entry and tells us over 500 people came to the clinic ! All praise to Jesus as each one heard the life changing truth of the gospel!
Your on going prayers for the people of this community are so important. Thank you for your faithfulness.
