It is day 20 for us here in South Africa!
Let me tell you about this wonderful Church were I where I have joined the pastoral staff for these 13 Sundays. The church has people involved in nine different ministries, all the ministries were started by and are related to the church.
#1 KING OF KINGS BAPTIST CENTER...where the church meets. The building is open to the community and is used, almost everyday, by a business or group in the community. The church is the center for activities here. There is also a Christian school that meets in the building.
#2 RADIO STATION CCFM...a 24 hour Christian radio station. Helping them start this station in 1993 is how HCJB Global got involved with this church.
#3 HOMELESS CENTER...daily meals, job training and medical care for 80-100 homeless people
#4 LIVING HOPE AIDS HOSPICE...a very nice place where people with AIDS can go to die with dignity.
#5-9 LIVING HOPE COMMUNITY CENTERS...located in 5 surrounding communities, these centers offer medical care, education, AIDS testing and children's and women's programs.
These are the outreach programs of one church here in Cape Town. Makes me wonder why they are doing so much more than some very large and wealthy churches I know in the states.
Barb has become very involved in the community programs and loves encouraging the workers when he speaks at their staff meetings. She has already visited every program.
Keep praying for us as we try to keep up with these active, busy people as they serve our Lord!
