Partnering (us, you and God)

KIDS CAMPS 2011



Alex and Nathan helped lead Worship
during our camp services this year


Much of life is about partnering. We partner with friends to have a fun day. We partner with the one we love for a lifetime of memories and experiences. We may partner with others to conduct business, play games, or complete a project. However, the best partnership we can ever experience is partnering with the Holy Spirit to tell others about Jesus.

This month our family had the joy of partnering with the Holy Spirit and some great Sunday school teachers to bring the joy of Kids Camp to the wonderful children of South Africa. The part we played was primarily in teaching the children through services either in the evenings or mornings. We actually helped with two camps during the first 6 days of October.

The first camp was for the Northwest province of South Africa. At this camp there were about 70 children and 15 teachers. Each morning of camp we held a worship service for the children. Besides learning some really great songs to worship Jesus through, the kids also learned about living a Godly life with the help of the Holy Spirit. At the conclusion of our second service we saw over 30 children baptized in the Holy Spirit. It was an incredible service marked by a strong presence of the Lord that touched us all.

From the 3rd-6th of October we assisted the Gauteng Province with their annual kids camp. We have helped this group of churches host kids camps for 11 years now. Each year is so much fun and exciting and this year was no exception. There are a great team of Sunday school teachers who worked tirelessly (including staying up all night the final night making t-shirts for the kids). The children loved it all – swimming, sports, bounce houses, Bible quiz, crafts and awesome services. Again we saw God move mightily and over 40 children were baptized in the Holy Spirit.

We are so thankful to the Lord for allowing us to be His partner in these endeavors. Truly He was the one working while we were the partners. However, this partnership is not just between us and God. It includes all of you who faithfully and generously support us. Without your continual prayers we would certainly lack the anointing we need to tell children about God’s great love for them. Without your financial support we would not be able to live in South Africa and travel to camps and churches where we do our work. Thank You for Sending Us to South Africa!
