Dear family,
Once again, it feels as though the month of May has flown by, bringing with it a whirlwind of events. We successfully wrapped up our Rooted (Biblical foundation series), commenced our Nation Building series to equip us for the upcoming polls in which we will elect national leaders, and are on the verge of completing our transformative Alpha journey. The journey has been nothing short of remarkable, and I am filled with gratitude to God for the enrichment we have all experienced.
I am thrilled to share that an exciting new opportunity has arisen as we will be collaborating with the NG Church Fairland, utilizing their premises as a hub for our ministry activities. Our team and leaders eagerly anticipate our relocation to Fairland in July, envisioning a promising start in our new community. Reflecting on our remarkable 16-year tenure at Orban School, we now look forward to embarking on a fresh and exhilarating chapter.
I am confident that each of you will wholeheartedly embrace this new season with enthusiasm and renewed faith, aligning with the unfolding work of God in our lives. Sending you all blessings and grace. Ps Sergé Solomons
Our Strategic Focus Areas
Looking Back...
From the 7th - 9th May, our church team had the privilege of participating in the BUILD Conference hosted by Every Nation Southern Africa. This yearly conference is designed specifically for Elders, Senior Pastors, Campus Directors, staff members, and any leaders involved in counseling or pastoral care from each congregation. The purpose of BUILD is to develop these leaders, provide clarity on the Every Nation mission, and foster meaningful connections within the community.
This conference was an invaluable opportunity for all leaders to be refreshed, encouraged, learn, and fellowship with one another. We, as Every Nation Randburg are proud of our team members for their dedication and involvement, and we are grateful to be a part of a church community that prioritizes the development and support of its leaders. We look forward to future BUILD Conferences and the continued growth and impact of our Every Nation church community.
Being a mother means to be totally overwhelmed by love, joy, responsibilities and selflessness. On a day-to-day level, being a mother means being tired, sometimes grumpy and never left alone…. but it’s all completely worth it. Being a mom isn’t an easy task and we therefore love and honour each mom for the role she plays in her family.
We celebrated all our moms with special gifts made with love by the kids, delicious cupcakes and a photo opportunity with her children. Each mom was crowned for being such a kind, caring, brave and Godly leader. We love our moms - not only on Mother’s Day, but everyday ❤️- Ps Maryna Botha
Over the past two months, our Alpha Journey group has been meeting every Sunday to explore various topics of the Christian faith. Under the guidance of our facilitators, participants have dived deep into questions such as "How does God guide us?", "Why and how do we pray?", "How can I have faith?", and "Why did Jesus die?" amongst others. Throughout the discussions, it was uplifting to hear participants openly share their own understanding of the topics and their personal experiences. The groups have not only learned together, but have grown in community, supporting and encouraging one another on the journey of faith.
These gatherings have been a great reminder of the importance of exploring our beliefs together and walking alongside one another as a church family. We're grateful for the participants' dedication, and with just one more Alpha Journey session left, we look forward to seeing how God will continue to move in their lives.
Pastor Serge and Hennie Bekker presented the Christian Apologetics course to the Equilibria students during the last week of May. Both these leaders have a passion for equipping the next generation with a solid foundation in their faith. Their dedication and insight have left a profound impact on the Equilibria students. The students gained a deeper understanding of their Christian faith and received tools to engage thoughtfully with the world around them. - Nerine Erasmus
Some of the students’ feedback included:
‘I didn’t realise Jesus was mentioned by Historians and not just in the Bible’
‘God is still all loving, which is also why he doesn’t directly interfere with our lives’
‘I want to read my Bible more often’
‘I need to focus on what I say and how I speak, not to be negative’
‘I have to start listening to God’
‘I want to read more Bible and study the life of Christ’
COMING UP!
