NEWS 2012
February 18, 2012
ALIVE for 2012 commenced yesterday with an exciting program! Good singing, good teaching, good prayer, good music, good activity, good turn out, good outreach experience and a good social evening together. We thank God for His blessing upon us all yesterday afternoon. From start to finish - we had a quality event. Special thanks to James W. for preaching a great sermon that caused us to orientated ourselves within the context of God's great commission, challenging us to attend God's great banquet - and bring someone else with us along the way. There is no excuse that comes even remotely close to the incredible privilege of being an invited guest to this event. Thanks also to Zodwa & Sithelo for reminding to trust Jesus as we travel farther along - and also, to Keziah, Shion and Sisi for a beautiful reflective message in song, asking Jesus to fill the empty spaces of our lives. James H. delivered a highly relevant quiz on the Great Controversy - and Ryan also got the ball rolling with our memory verse feature that will take us through Revelation 12, 13, 14 by the end of the year. Kevin and Lidjia also dedicated our program in prayer and we were all blessed as we reflected on the AYC in Sydney too. Special special thanks to Greg T. for putting together such a great video of the highlights as well. Our new pastor, Pastor Tapiwa closed our afternoon in prayer and then we hit the streets doing something we've never done before - prayer walking. It was a fresh experience - but one which God will reward. We are reminded, that God is bound by certain rules within this great conflict. However, when we pray for others, we give God permission to do that which He might not otherwise have done. So prayer is powerful!
2012, with all of its hype and mystery is a year that holds great potential for us and we are excited, particularly as we begin to explore this great theme through the book, The Great Controversy, about the things God will do and teach us this year. Till our next meeting on the 3rd of March, may God especially bless you! :)
