Ubuntu Coming Soon.jpg

 

 Brace yourselves...this is going to be epic. Ubuntu Student Conference 2013 hosted by Campus Crusade for Christ. This is going to be epic. I know that our students are going to have an awesome great time! The first time I ever attended a christian conference was with Campus Crusade for Christ and its quite odd how I came about to go to Pretoria for that. It was a Friday afternoon and I had just come back from biology practical when I pumped into one of our campus interns and asked me to go to Pretoria with him in the next 2 hours - to Ubuntu. I remember getting there I knew no one, the sang funny worship songs I didn't know with guitar and drums (that was Hillsong worship songs), it was cold and I regretted why I was there after driving for over 7 hours with 3 people I hardly know ... I didn't know at all. Being there I learnt the importance of the Gospel, sharing the Gospel, living the Gospel in a practical way. I began to learn that Christ didn't come to earth to perform miracles but He came to give us LIFE and this LIFE is to be shared with everyone! It was incredible because I learnt that God wants to change the world . . .  and His plan to do so is with me. He wants to use me to change the world

I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

Really...EVERYTHING

Then Jesus said to Simon, "Don't be afraid; from now on you will catch men." So they pulled their boats up on shore, left EVERYTHING and followed Him.

Staff Meetings

The theme of our staff meetings for the next and coming weeks are on the Harmony of the Gospel - this is to study the 4 Gospel in sequence of the evens which took place aligned by their writer. Staff meeting Monday mornings are always exciting and fun as its time to reconnect with the team serving in Durban, to pray for them and their ministry, to eat cake and drink coffee! Gary has made bible study to be challenging in a way that helps me understand how to lead one more than anything. He doesn't lead it, he guides it - his great in guiding conversations when we all sit together. Cheryl is just the same - today we were looking at how Matthew showed a characteristic of 'radical abandonment' when called by Jesus to follow Him after Jesus had picked up some few disciples, he now adding to the list of the 12 we know of today.

In the previous weeks we have started off from 'Not A Fan' as a bible study topic and that has really set the course of direction as we learn to distinguish between being a FAN or a FOLLOWER coupled with recognizing what a true disciple in Christ looks like with central themes such as Luke 9:23, the call to discipleship in Mark 1. Basically the focus is radical abandonment...fun hey??? Being a true follower is quite a challenge and I still haven't really all that well cleared it out in my mind but by His grace I'm learning.Bafana

Passion World Tour

 

Louie Giglio is the senior pastor of Passion City Church in Atlanta, Georgia. The first time I came to know of him is when at my second Campus Crusade for Christ Student Camp in 2010 the interns who were serving with our ministry back then: Barrett, Dan, Alyssa, Julie, Katie, Franchesca, Anele played one of his well observed sermon called 'Indescribable'. Watching it at all times takes me back to how small I am and how GREAT God is. I really cant and wont even try to make justice and explain what he talks about but you need to head to your nearest CUM books and look for that DVD.

Station 3

 Today we took the time off from our schedule to pray for the nations where the Gospel is being proclaimed. Africa, Asia, Europe, America - it strikes me how there are so many labourers wide spread which are doing the Lords work in evangelism and discipleship. There is still a shortage of labourers as one country puts in their prayer request - 'Pray the Lord may raise up for labourers to reach our community'. There is still a great call for missions work.
