A combined team of 7 from Smithfield with Gideon Jacobs and 3 from Kwasizabantu were invited by Mrs Martha Mabokwane from Petrus Steyn. 30 services were arranged for the 4 days and the team addressed approx 3800 people on farms, schools, clinics, a hospital and an old age home. About 400 km radius was the distance between services.

Many of the people remarked that they had never heard the Gospel in such a clear way. The choir from Smithfield was a mighty instrument in the Lord's hands, people just seemed to melt when the choir sang and then they received the Word with joy. Some meetings were in small worker's houses on the farms with groups of only 10 or 15 people. At the old age home, an old man refused to attend the service when he was invited; he said that he had sold his soul to the devil and didn't care if he went to hell. However, once the service started he wheeled himself in on his wheelchair and listened attentively to the sermon. Afterwards he was so thankful, he said he never heard the truth like that. The general attitude of the people in the old age home was that they were rejected and just waiting to die. They were so grateful for the message of hope that was brought to them.

The farmers were very willing to allow their workers to attend services, even in working hours. At many of the farms we were invited to come back again.

The hunger for the Truth was clearly seen and the realisation that what people need is Jesus the Saviour who came to save His people from their sins.
