PREPARATION FOR GREATNESS

Dear Beloved Community, God calls us to prepare for the incredible greatness He has destined for each of us. Let us meditate on these powerful promises: "The LORD directs the steps of the righteous and delights in their journey." (Psalm 37:24, AMP). To walk in His righteousness is to be guided by His hand. "Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take." (Proverbs 3:6, AMP). By entrusting our decisions to God, He clears the way before us.

"A man’s heart plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps." (Proverbs 16:9, AMP). God invites us to plan boldly, knowing that He orchestrates our steps. As we earnestly embark on our mission to reach the lost and disciple others, I'm convinced that God's presence is not only with us and within us but is also actively working through us. Remember, we are commissioned to "Go and make disciples" (Matthew 28:18). Throughout March, we meticulously laid the groundwork for our upcoming action-packed months of April, May, and June. Join us in this vital mission as we venture into outreach and discipleship efforts.

In April, we kick-start our Alpha journey on Sunday, 7th April, from 4pm-6pm at Equilibria House. Bring your friends along for this transformative experience. Additionally, our Men's Victory Training awaits you in the second week of April. Men, it's time to encounter the life-changing power of Jesus. We will also delve into the foundational teachings of the One2One spiritual guide as we nurture disciples and immerse ourselves in our ROOTED sermon series. Remember, our spiritual foundations are the bedrock of our faith. Let's rise to this call, let's take bold steps forward! Together, let’s GO and DO IT! - Ps Sergé Solomons

Our Strategic Focus Areas

"During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission."

Hebrews 5:7 NIV

Looking Back...
LADIES PRAYER WALK: 2 MARCH 2024

On March 02, 2024, we had our first Ladies Prayer Walk at Emmarentia Dam. It was a beautiful time of fellowship as we gathered together to pray for our city, schools, workplaces, families, and each other. We enjoyed delicious smoothies in the park while engaging in heartfelt conversations and lifting one another up in prayer. The atmosphere was filled with love and support, reminding us of the power of community. This prayer walk strengthened our bonds as sisters in faith and reminded us of the importance of continually lifting one another up in prayer. Let us carry this spirit of prayer and unity into our daily lives. We look forward to our next opportunity to gather for prayer and fellowship.

CHILD DEDICATION: 10 MARCH 2024

On Sunday 10 March we had the honor of dedicating Luca Fuls and Annemi Fishcer to the Lord, before friends and family, and church community. Child Dedication is a commitment that parents, families or caregivers make before the Lord and the church to submit a child to God’s will and to raise that child according to God’s Word and God’s ways. It is also a commitment from the community of believers, that they will come alongside the parents to do the same. We rejoice in these moments and we acknowledge as it is written in Psalm 127:3 our children are a gift from the Lord and a reward from Him. The next Child Dedication will be on Sunday 28 April. Please contact Ps Marnè should you wish to dedication your child on that day.

VICTORY TRAINING WEEK: 11-16 MARCH 2024

The victory training reinforced for me the lordship of Jesus. I realised He is not only my saviour but Lord of everything. Only Jesus can restore the desert areas of my life but I have to surrender it all. The training was a great balance between group sessions and personal 1-1 engagements. It created a safe space to take stock of my life and identify where I’ve opened a door for the enemy. Overall the training has strengthened my faith and hope in God. - Charline Mouton

God is so amazing! He really does meet you where you are at during the Victory Training... Overall an amazing experience & a kickstart to the process of working through things highlighted to me during the week! Thank you to everyone involved to make this such a safe yet challenging experience. - Larisse Badenhorst

This victory training was for me the ultimate. Things (the same) that I struggled with for a very long time and in every victory training I felt finally had final breakthrough. It was the most intense and uplifting training out of all of them. God knows what is best and again He showed to me that He is everything and although at times I felt loss or away He was and is with me every step of the way. - Zandie Van Rensburg

This being my 2nd Victory Training, I can genuinely say that the experience was as life changing as the first, if not more. I am in awe of how God used the smallest of circumstances and encounters to bring about significant revelations and healing in my life. Shoutout to the facilitators and prayer team for not only creating a safe space but for their support, guidance, and dedication throughout the entire week. This experience left me with a newfound level of awareness and victory that went beyond my expectations. - Tariro Tagar

For me personally, this Victory Training came at just the right time in my walk with God. I needed to revisit some foundational truths of our faith. One of the highlights was the laying down of certain things that was not in God's will for my life. I can already now say that I have started to experience the freedom that Christ purchased for us on the cross. The prophetic session touched my heart deeply as well as the ladies who served faithfully every night. Thank you to everyone who made this possible. - Sanet Van der Walt

KING'S FEAST: 17 MARCH 2024

On 17th of March we had our King's Feast Service at Orban. The service provided a meaningful and inclusive experience for members of the church and their families. The Kids Church prepared a special journey through the stations of the cross, offering a beautiful way to celebrate Jesus and His impact on our lives. The service also included a time of worship and communion, allowing everyone to deepen their connection with God and commemorate the sacrifice Jesus made for us. Overall, the King's Feast Sunday Service was a special and valuable event for everyone in the church community.
