Mpumalanga Youth Missions Rally 2011

Groundbreakers,



God has called us...
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
(Acts 1:8)



and Jesus said:
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-21)



This is exactly what the young people did in the community in Thabakhubedu last weekend and the National Committe had the privledge to be part of it. Together we visited people, prayed with them, sang worship songs, talked to them, spend time with them and gave them food parcels and clothes.



It was amazing to see how God moved in peoples lives this day!

Let's continue to serve HIM!
