Gospel Chariot Missions: JUNE 2012

June has been a wonderful month for the Lord. Gospel Chariot 2 in Malawi has reached out and worked with brethren to baptise 201 souls for Jesus. Two new congregations were established and a number restorations. It is so good to see Gods children work together and reach the lost who are hurting. God is Great. Chariot 1 is in Venda and there have been 30 souls baptised there. USA brethren, short term bible school students and locals got together to campaign. It was wonderful. The Venda brethren are so hospitable and willing to hear Gods word. AMEN

Above shows Chariot 1 working in Venda. This chariot
has a new refurbished body on now that will last us
Lord willing for many years to come.

Above shows Mike Knappier from Benton Arkanses
Preaching. Every evening we had a different
Preacher. The theme was Jesus. This was also a
Church planting.

Above shows house to house studies that we had during
the day. It was wonderful. The people in the community
always stopped what they were doing and brought chairs
out for us to sit and gave us time to open the bible with
them. They are the most amazing people when it comes
to making you feel welcome.

On the Saturday we had a WBS seminar where we
invited WBS students to visit with us whilst up in
that area. We used the local community hall to have
our meeting. Above shows Dimpo speaking.

On Sunday we worshiped at the Tshidimbini Church
of Christ. As you can see the Church building was full
to capacity.

This is the new Church Building being built at the
Tshidimbini property. This will hold over 1000 people.
The short term Bible School is next door to this building.
The future looks so bright for missions in Venda.
Well done brethren.

Above show the short term Bible students and campaigners
going into the community door knocking.

On our way up to Venda we stopped off at the Atteridgeville
Church of Christ to visit with Tebogo, Machona and the
Christian book store. Its a wonderful outreach tool. They
told us of some doors opening because of it. Machona leaves
in August to study at Harding University. Machona was our
first Gospel Chariot driver evangelist years back. Amazing.

Above shows brother Tebogo who is now one of the
elders of the congregation. He is a very mission minded
brother and great worker in the Kingdom. You also see
myself with Mike Knappier and Joel Lewis. Both men
have been wonderful co workers of this work. Mike
Knappier is our USA Coordinator.

WOW.....Here is our first one day church building. Ha Ha
Its something I saw in Malawi last year where you have
this certain denomination putting thousands of these buildings
up, but no foundation and walls. That the brethren have to do.
They call it a one day church. Because it take one day to put
up. Well, we call ours a one month church building.
Because it took us one month to put up. Ha Ha. Its a
wonderful success story. Put up in Rundu Namibia after our
campaign there in May with Fredericksburg.

Above shows our graduation of short term bible students
in Plettenberg Bay. Last year was our first semester of
bible students. Once it was just a dream. Today they
graduating. God is working in the Western Cape as
we try by all means to reach the many towns that
don't have Churches of Christ.

Above shows 2 of the teachers. Brothers Gladman and Zonge
with the students.
