We are now living in the time of the end and
it is no longer news because the world is full
of trouble, terrorism, work with no pay,
diseases like Ebola and it’s brother Aids
spreading around. This is the time for us to
take up the cross and stand for the great
Commission of Mark 16:15-16, Luke 24:47 and
the book of Acts. Therefore I highly appeal for
more preaching books and a book that teaches
about prayers. Please kindly send also a
children’s story of the Bible; the book “A Reli-
gion that makes sense”.
For six months we have not received our salary
from our employer, and for some it is nine
months. Children are being sent out of school
to put food on the table, to put food on the
table is by God’s grace. So we highly need your
prayers for Nigerians, mostly our brethren who
OHAFIA | Bro Gaius Egwu
are civil servants, so it is time to show love.
Please send a book that teaches on prayers
and a few copies of the book “Teach me Thy
Way”, copies of the Bible and a few “Bible
Basics”. A friend I meet and shared Bible
Basics with helps me and paid my post office
box bill this year. He is from the Assemblies of
God Church and he is now attending our Bible
Study and reading Bible Basics.
Thank you for all the good works and fatherly
love. We are praying for you, please pray for
us.
Please re-send to me a copy of the last Gospel
News (May-Aug. edition) as I gave my copy to
Bro John Kalu who visited me from Alayi
Ecclesia.
News from South Africa
August has been an incredibly blessed month
for the Kempton Park meeting. We were priv-
ileged to host a P2P (Prepare to Preach) team
consisting of Sis Deb Lea, Sis Jeanne Ploetz,
Sis Judy MacKinnon, Bro
William DeFord and Adam
Ross from various eccle-
sias in the States and
Canada. This lovely group
stayed with us for two
weeks, their energy and
resources gave our
existing preaching and
outreach projects a huge
boost!
The visiting sisters led the studies at the
annual ‘Women at the Well’ Retreat. This
beautiful weekend in the Drakensberg was
enjoyed by the majority of the Kempton Park
sisters, who returned refreshed and ready to
do our best to live “in the Spirit” rather than
allow our actions to be determined by our
human instincts. Everyone enjoyed the many
little treats we were spoiled with throughout
the weekend, and we would like to express
our gratitude to everyone who was part of the
KEMPTON PARK
amazing team that organized the weekend.
During the long weekend the Kempton Park
Meeting hosted a Youth Gathering at the
Altelekker Campgrounds just outside of
Olifantsfontein. We had
youth from the Aphiwe,
Yeoville and Kensington
meetings join the
Kempton Park youth for
an encouraging, fun-filled
weekend of Bible study
and fellowship.
Bro Michael Furstenburg
was the cook for the
weekend, for which we
would like to thank him - scrambling ten
dozen eggs each morning is no mean feat!
The Furstenburg family had a rather horrid
experience when little Alexis, who is now
almost 30 months old, fell backward while
playing with a puppy, and suffered a green-
stick fracture to the radial bone in her left
arm. She had to have a cast which will God
Willing, be removed in 4 weeks’ time.
