This time of the year gets really busy with the Chariots traveling into the countries north of us. We also get to work in Venda for 6 weeks. It has been wonderful. Chariot 2 has just completed its time in Tanzania and worked with the Chamala Mission. It is now on the way to Malawi. 34 souls were baptized in Tanzania. Chariot 1 has just finished in Venda where 131 souls were baptized. It will now head for the country of Swaziland. See pictures below of some of the happenings as well as the now almost completed VENDA BIBLE SCHOOL.
The Bible School with its courtyard. Almost completed. Doors, painting and curtains will be completed by month end. School starts on the 3rd August....AMEN.
The school has 10 rooms that will sleep 20 students.
Toilets complete with showers.
Fellowship room.
Kitchen and dining area.
Above shows the new Church building going up next to the Bible School. This building is being funded by the local congregation. The leaders need to be commended for their vision.

Below shows Chariot 2 in Tanzania. Brother Dimpo had to leave Pretoria and head north for 2 months due to some driver problems. We are trying to train Driver-Evangelists up every year and sometimes it does not work out the way we planned. Thank you Dimpo. With Dimpo out of town and school in, we had Lazarus burning the candle on both sides. Thank you Lazarus. Great leaders always put their hand up when things get tough. As they say: when the going gets tough, the tough gets going.
Above shows Harrison in Zambia and Tanzania working on Chariot 2. This Chariot is now in Malawi. Remember last year they baptized over 200 souls there. The brethren in Malawi have been planning this year's activity for months now. Please pray that God blesses Malawi with many more souls this year.
Above shows the mini Chariot that hooks behind a pickup. This Chariot is based out of Pretoria and works primarily the Johannesburg and Pretoria areas. It has a tent, PA system and chairs. You can see a brother with a loudspeaker on the back of the vehicle. This is used to invite people to the Gospel meetings.
Above shows Shanga baptizing a WBS student from Tembisa. Our follow up vehicle was involved in a wreck and was sidelined for a number of months. It is up and running and so we should see more things happening in the East Rand.
Above shows evangelism on the Garden route in the George area. We are working with Churches in George, Mosselbay, Sedgefield and Jefferies Bay. These are independent Churches that are now becoming Christian's only. Part of the Lords Church. Above shows the Church in George. We are sending two men from this area to the Venda Bible School. Two men, Gladman and Edwin, have just returned from the Pretoria Bible School. This is really helping church growth in the area. Can you see the concept and missions method GCM has. We baptize and start many congregations, but it means nothing if we don't have a backup plan to mature those coming to Christ. We believe in our short term schools, that are linked to Nations University. It helps us mature and develop leaders.
And last but not least is my little baby girls. Yes, These are my and Ria's grandchildren. On the left you have Jemmica who is Quinton and Vicki's oldest. Then you have Wayne and Nicole's little daughter, Channelle and on the right is Quinton's other little one. Her name is Payton. God has blessed us with wonderful kids and grandchildren. We got to see Quinton and Vicki this month as well as Hilton and his girlfriend Emily. They are both from Abilene, Texas. Chantal our only daughter returns home next month after studying and working in the US.
