Chris has been staying in South Africa for an extended period recently with team leaders Sam & Leanna following an accident with his passport. He writes “Having been down in Clarens for the last while however, has not meant that ministry has stopped!…As we know, God is in control, and it is His ministry, not mine, I am simply called to be obedient and faithful to Him and follow His leading! While in Clarens I worked with Sam in building up a youth group for ages 12-18, which would meet at his house on Friday nights from 6:30pm to 9pm. We started running a Christianity Explored for Youth course, and amazingly our numbers have grown from an initial 7 youth, to a record number of 16 last Friday! With time on my hands, I have also been able to meet up with and mentor two young guys (James 19 and Dale 17), who both have had a pretty tough life thus far… and this is where I feel God has been in control all along and intended for me to be in Clarens for a time. On Thursday morning 19th Nov, having been with me for the last few hours talking and trying to get his head around the gospel, at 12:50am while kneeling on my living room floor, James repented and accepted Jesus Christ as his saviour!”
