Prayer and Praise Points:
Soweto GAT:
A successful GAT event was held in Soweto, Gauteng on 30 August-1 September!
We thank God for Josephine Mhlongo and her team - for their loyal dedication and hard work in the Soweto region. Please pray for God's provision of the necessary resources to establish the Soweto regional Alpha team and for new culture of volunteerism to be birthed.
The Marriage Conference:
We are grateful for Nicky and Sila Lee who will be coming out for our first annual Marriage Conference. Gavin and Jill Morley have been heading the Marriage and Marriage Prep Courses in SA and have been involved in arranging these conferences along with the dedicated local teams at Edge Church-Cape Town, St Agnes-Kloof and Bryanston Methodist-Johannesburg. Marketing and brochure distribution for these conferences is well underway.
Please continue to pray for an increase in the number of registrations coming in as well as for a successful event on all fronts, and for the subsequent growth of this specialty ministry.
Alpha SA Vision Day:
The Alpha National Office is planning 3 regional Vision Days to take place in Durban, Cape Town and Johannesburg in October this year. Please pray for the success of these three events. Pray for the refreshment and re-envisioning of the existing teams and church leaders in these regions.
Fundraising:
We thank the lord for his provision for us thus far. Please pray for his continued provision and even a supernatural increase in resources. Please also pray for wisdom and guidance in implementing the various aspects of our fundraising strategy.
Localized DVD:
We are in the early phases producing an localized DVD to cater for an African audience. Please pray for the Lord's wisdom and guidance on this front and also for his provision.
