Holiday Club is finally here!

Page 2: Snapshot issue 22 5 july mailsend

This last Wednesday, the Holiday Club leaders of week two came together for another

worship night. There’s a certain level of expectancy

when we gather together like this – people come hungry for a move of God, wanting to see

Him work in ways they haven’t experienced before.

This worship night was nothing less than an incredible

testimony to the greatness of God, not just over the last two

weeks but consistently in people’s lives. The evening starting with the Lifehouse skit

called “Everything” challenging individuals to give themselves

only to Jesus and not to anything of this world. Mark

then preached about the presence of God and prioritising time with Him.

What followed was a great

time of singing and worship with words like “Great in power, great in glory, great in

mercy, King of heaven” and “So I shout out Your name,

from the rooftops I proclaim that I am Yours” and “My heart will sing no other name,

Jesus.”

During the last song of worship, leaders came up to give testimonies about the

great things that God has done – healing from depression,

provision and guidance, changing of hearts, and

forgiveness. We celebrated how incredibly God has moved in the lives of the leaders.

We give glory to God for nights

like this where we can revel in His presence and glorify Him

for the things He has done.

Holiday Club continues beyond

What a two weeks we have had:

Over 700 children attending our two

holiday clubs, about 150 teenage leaders leading, hearing of children and teenage

leaders accepting Christ as their personal

Saviour, children receiving a Bible for the very first time the list goes on and on.

As pastor I was blessed by:

the creativity that Robyn and her team

displayed in putting this holiday club together,

the adult "spiritual parents" who came every night to connect and interact with

the teenage leaders,

the young adult leaders who worked tirelessly to lead teenage leaders to

help children to come and experience the hope that we have in Christ,

people working behind the scenes to makes sandwiches, and register

children,

people who gave sacrificially to help us cover some of the cost for the holiday

club ministry. last Friday night's parent evening.

Most of all what excites me is the fact that we as a church have had kingdom

impact.We have been able to reach way beyond our own boundaries as a church

and helped children to come and

experience the love of Christ. Some of these never hear the gospel in their own

homes.

Now the work goes on… from prayer

requests, it is clear that we would have to continue ministry to the families.

Pray with us that God will help us by

providing others who will now understand

that God wants to use them to continue the work that he has started in the lives of

these children and their families. -Riaan Niemand
