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.

New friendships

Minibus taxi's are the dominant form of public tranport in South Africa, therefore the local taxi gathering area is a great place to meet lots of people. One team in Oudtshoorn picked this place to go and do street evangelism with great success as people were very open to the gospel and even a few made commitments to Christ.

Hercule and Ursula (South Africa) started up a friendship with the vendor and discovered their new friend Mohammed was actually a muslim man from the Comoros. During the week their friendship grew as they were able to spend a lot of time together. Hercule learned from Mohammed that when he came to South Africa he wanted to give Christianity a chance and that he went to visit a few churches. Unfortunately what he saw convinced him that Christians were not real and he stayed with his Muslim faith.

Hercule was hoping to show Mohammed that Christ is real if His children truly follow Him and not just get caught in religion. Please pray with us for Mohammed and Hercule's friendship to grow and that Mohammed will be able to see and understand what Jesus did for him.
