Global Challenge - South Africa

Global Challenge is an initiative by OM where Christians can join a short outreach to communities around the world. In South Africa we host an outreach every year in the July school holidays. This year we will reach out to communities living around Gauteng.

Shine the light

Street evangelism can be quite a difficult ministry to be involved in but there are times when we see God just preparing hearts beforehand for divine encounters.

Wouter and Christelle were walking in the township of Riversdale talking to people when they came across a group of young men. One of the men immediately asked them if they were Christians and continued: "When I saw you come around the corner I knew you were Christians". They were able to continue their conversation as he opened up to them about problems in his life like drugs. What makes this so amazing is that he was doing this while he was surrounded by his friends, a situation that usually inhibits people from opening up.

In Heidelberg another team came across a lady that has had a difficult life and was heavily into drugs. During their visit to her home she got up, went to her cupboard, took out all her drugs and washed it all away in her kitchen sink!

Please continue to pray for the people with whom our teams are having contact. That they may truly accept Jesus into their life and change their lifestyle accordingly to His will.
