Special Offering
Offerings will be received from Sunday, October 13 - December 25
As many of you know, Pastor Shadrack’s house building project hit a milestone the last week of September, with the completion of the roof. This is significant in that now progress can be made on the inside! Once it is finished, not only can Pastor Shadrack and his family move up there and have a home within their mission field, but they can start using their house as a church and that will allow them to spend much more time in ministry activity and doing it together! No more long commutes! The sooner this house is completed, the quicker this begins! Pastor Shadrack and his wife Gugu are excited to be even more effective in their ministry as they train more pastors, establish a church and become rooted in a rural South African community that has better access to remote locations.
With the completion in sight yet with much work still to do and material and supplies needed all at once, we will be doing this year’s Special Offering from Sunday, October 13 – December 25 to help bring this project to completion.
We’re excited to continue our support of Pastor Shadrack and his move to this location and what this means toward gospel proclamation in the region of KwaZulu-Natal.
Would you go to the Lord in prayer, and ask Him what He would have you give, over-and-above towards the completion of this project? Our hope is that we would raise $70,000 so that Pastor Shadrack and his family can move in this year and begin this new stage in their ministry in this region.
God Bless you all!
