Pretoria, South Africa

(pri-TOR-ee-uh) – “During the first two weeks in October, eight volunteers from a church in Georgia will join our Pretoria Team in ministry. Pray for these eight volunteers as they are here in Africa. Ask the Lord to speak directly to each of their hearts, drawing them ever deeper into an abiding relationship with Him that propels them into an obedient walk with Jesus. Some of these servants of the gospel will spend several days loving on preschoolers during a preschool Vacation Bible School. Other members of the team will be rewiring the current hazardous electrical lines at the preschool. Still others will be walking the streets, praying for God-prepared people with whom they can share the good news! As you pray, also remember all the faces and souls whom the team will converse with and laugh with and pray with during their time in South Africa: the old men, the boisterous children, the tired women, the restless youth, the spiritually hungry, the spiritually sleepy, the spiritually aloof, and the spiritually apathetic. ‘Lord Jesus, You don’t need us to reach the nations, but You have chosen to make Your appeal to the world through us. Please do just that!'”
