NEW CHURCH PLANT IN SOUTH AFRICA - Palm Ridge is experiencing a change!!!
Palm Ridge was known for the Indian community during apartheid and is now known as Moslem community, even today when you drive in to this township you don’t need any one to show you or tell you, its very obvious that it has been a Moslem place for long time.

As we state previously last month saying that we have started a Church on the 9th of June, it has been going well, we are growing in numbers and, we are seeing lives being transformed, its amazing!  Let me tell you some of it, we started the church in the tent, with 100 chairs, and it is in the middle of winter here in South Africa, and the pastor who gave us the land to use said, "It is very cold now, people wont come, let me tell you this, our 100 chairs are full and we are in need of more chairs, and God is so good!!!

Here is another story. One of the guys in Church is Sthole he is in His 40 s and this guy I have known him for Long time, and he always didn’t want anything to do with Jesus, I remember once I was visiting my brother here in South Africa and He was in my brother’s house and we had small group to pray together and this guy would go out side and wait till we finish praying, but if the Lord can change Paul of Tarsus, He can change Sthole’s heart, The Lord sent Him to help us find the Land and from the first day of the Service this guy has nave messed a service, He even called me and asked why do we have to wait till Thursday to have a service? That’s a Long time He says, He is so hungry, Talk about transformation, his wife still can’t believe that the Lord has given her a new husband. We are seeing people being changed everyday.  Palm Ridge is also known for witchcraft but when they come they give up everything, and they just want the real thing, this people are hungry!

We had Stephanie from Vineyard Laguna Niguel come last week and taught about prayer, they were taking in everything, and cause of that we have noticed that their prayer life is not the same anymore, something has been released to them. Cathi came this week from the same church that will teach worship; everyone is looking forward for that.

I just want to thank personally that church in California San Francisco that sent us funds to buy Bibles for our people; you don’t know how blessed people are by this, thank you. I will say this; you have made things worse for us in a good way cause they have thousands of questions to ask about the scripture, they just cant get enough. I also want to thank the Vineyard Laguna Niguel Church for sending a team it blessed us so much and let me say that the people that were reached on that one day outreach are still with us,

Things to pray for;
(1) Pray for my car to be fixed, it’s almost 2 months without a car, its hard,
(2) There was a strong wind last weekend that ripped our tent in to peaces, please pray that we can get the right person to fix it, that’s our building,
(3) Pray so we will be known as community of Love,
(4) Pray for the growth not only in numbers but Spiritually also.

FELITO UTUIE
