Youth Conference – 40 years celebration
Theme: God has plans for you – uNkulunkulu enemicabango ngawe
Jer 29:11
Monday 30 June: The Conference is now in full swing with the first official service starting at 10am. However, there were so many children yesterday that we had to have services for them already. Paster Stegen delivered a service on Sunday morning that set the pace for the week ahead. Today and tomorrow a few thousand more children and teens are expected to arrive. (Please pray that the Lord Himself would be at work in their hearts.) See photos of 29 June here.
The team (over 30 co-workers) arrived back on the evening of 2nd June, after a very profitable trip to Botswana and Namibia. Various services were held in different denominations and venues. These included: schools, town halls, NG churches and an AGS church. Rev Erlo Stegen was able to take a series of services on the…
This year the students felt led by the Lord to go to the new KwaSizabantu mission Magqogo in the Tugela valley. The purpose of the outreach is to broaden the students’ missionary exposure and experience, and at the same time give them an opportunity to be partakers in spreading the Gospel, apart from their normal…
Since the foundation of Cedar College of Education in the early ’90s, God has faithfully given growth. The current female student hostel is far too small and many were turned away this year due to the lack of sufficient accommodation. On completion, the new hostel will be able to accommodate 90 students together with flats…
A wonderful turnout and great blessings were experienced at a recent youth weekend held in Mozambique. A more central place was hired for the weekend, at Cacia in Gaza Province. The camp site is about 400km south of the Kwasizabantu centre in Inyambane Province. A number of co-workers & preachers joined Carlos, (including S. Khumalo,…
Deep down in the Tugela valley a treasure was found amongst the people at “Maqhogo”. This very rural area was recently given over to Kwasizabantu Mission to continue with the former work of a Canadian missionary couple. Community involvement projects mushroomed almost overnight. One of the main focuses is agricultural development. Heavy machines have been…
Of the most important projects at Kwasizabantu Mission is growing food! The mission does not do fundraising and has concentrated on seeking the Lord in prayer for all needs, and at the same time, doing “with our might what our hands find to do” (as is so apt in the Hymn “To the work…”. A…
This year we could have the Christmas Carols Evening, in the new Auditorium, on Saturday night, 21 November. Various choirs and a few “skits” were presented, followed by a devotion for the occasion. The audience participated in singing well-known carols, in English and Zulu.
Erlo Stegen, director of Kwasizabantu Mission, arranged for KSB staff and helpers to visit the new Maqhogo mission. This new mission opportunity is placed close to the Tugela river (the largest river in the Province of KwaZulu-Natal). Two large buses as well as other vehicles arrived late morning on the 17th November 2009. It was…
On Saturday, 12 September 2009, the dream came true for a new KSB centre in the Free State Province of South Africa. Pastor Gideon Jacobs and his co-workers have long been praying for another centre for KwaSizabantu’s ministry in the Free State. The ministry will also continue in the existing centre in Smithfield. The official…
Every year DSS has a Sports Day. It is mostly a time of fun for the children, teachers and parents. The more serious part is qualifying for the next round which a competition between various Christian Schools. There are two sports teams (or, “houses”), Murray and Morris (both Andrew Murray and Samuel Morris were Africans…
