The 'new-bees' of CCC-SA (Students and Interns from UP, UWC, UJ) |
These past 2 weeks have been intense in that my team and I headed to Pretoria for staff training. The excitement, thrill and joy I came with was soon over come by trying to keep up in note taking, absorbing all that was taught in our seminars. For a second there I felt like a newspaper journalist covering one of the biggest international stories. By the first week done with some of the basics such as confidently sharing your faith, other training sessions involved developing a relationship with God, biblical call to making disciples, learning to pray, one of my favourite - being life-long learners, Kingdom vision, being spirit filed and the list goes on. That Saturday we went out with The Jesus Film Team over to Nulmapiers, which is a short distance from Mamelodi, Pretoria to show the Jesus Film (The Gospel according to Luke) in...wait for it...SETSWANA language. It was the first time ever watching the Jesus Film I confess furthermore in an official South African language hyped me up a bit - no limitations to how the Gospel is shared so that.

Going out to share our faith with my team in the community was extremely different and to a certain degree difficult, compared to university students. I met 3 boys during the outreach. After sharing with them and praying for them, I took time to listen to their stories, who they are, where they from. What I discerned, ,besides what they told me, was how they are far from God. I felt a strong urge to take their contacts and I did but I did not follow-up on them - learning during the week to understand that
“Successful
witnessing is taking the initiative to share Christ in the power of the Holy
Spirit and leaving the results to God” I would normally try to take control over
the situation but I was rebuked by the Holy Spirit on that. I most probably
will never meet these guys again but one assurance I have is that the Holy
Spirit was working in them and I was a vehicle used to planting that seed - now
is the Lords responsibility to water in. Though I am over 600 km's away from
them, I pray over their lives, standing in agreement.
