M and J So. Africa 2014: Forgiveness seems to be the message that reaches people

The Lord enabled Mikki to preach a good sermon on forgiveness last night. As has been the practice lately, JoAnn then closes the sermon and starts the invitation. We then have the local pastor finish the invitation so it goes smoother as there is no need of translation. This is an invitation for forgiveness of sins as well as asking the Lord to empower us to forgive those who hurt us.

Thanks Pastor Ken for all the good sermons and teaching on forgiveness. It is a much needed message here. There are many with deep wounds. It continues to show us how God can use our stumbling words to touch hearts. Again many came weeping with great sorrow, almost a wailing sound. Our God is so good.

Please continue to pray for us to be used by the Holy Spirit to see souls saved and Christians to completely surrender to the Lordship of Christ. Your prayers make a big difference.

Pray also for us physically. We have had a few problems lately but have prayed and are trusting the Lord to heal our sinuses and throats. He has been good and neither of us has missed a preaching turn. The singing has been interesting some times though. JoAnn has to devise a new way to trace Mikki's sketches as the paper here is newsprint and dark. She cannot see through it so can not trace Mikki's sketch as usual. You definitely have to rely on the Lord here. It makes you get back to the basics of Christianity, I can not but Christ can.

Blessings on you all from here in South Africa.

I will try and attach some pictures and maybe a couple of short videos if they will upload. The first is a hello from Welverdiend, Mpumalanga, South Africa.
