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.

Age matters!

George is a beautiful city situated close to the sea and the mountains. Therefore this beautiful setting attracts a lot of elderly people to come and retire in George, spending a lot of their time playing golf, fishing or taking walks.

However when people like Annette (Australia, 60) and Regina (KwaZulu Natal, 66) come to participate in the Outeniqua Challenge, it really amazes many of the churches that these elderly ladies are so active and involved.

Annette has been working really hard and ministering with all her energy and this has been a huge testimony to her church. Regina has been described by fellow team members as a "legend". Her love just radiates and people from the community is constantly attracted to her affection.

This shows that age certainly is no limit when you allow God to use you. We have seen that the wisdom and love that more elderly people bring to teams are worth their weight in gold!
