Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho off to Qumbu we go

Today we are driving through Transkei to Mr. Vumile's home town (or should I say Village) of Qumbu.  He has invited us along with our friend & partner Raymond to come train his simple house church of about 15 people in CPM principals.  We are so very excited to provide the support and tools for Mr. Vumile to lead his community in reaching those that are far from Christ within their village and to be the church body within their rural African community.

God has begun doing some exciting things within this area.  We see a team of African leaders developing around Umthatha, all who have a passion for bringing their friends and neighbors into a life-transforming relationship with Him.  It's beautiful-each of them have their own contribution to communities that also provide them access to other influencial leaders in these areas.

As we go this week we are praying:

-for clear communication and open receptive hearts and minds for the folks we are going to build relationship with and train

-we are thanking God for the team of African leaders He has begun constructing in the Eastern Cape and praying for their unity and relationships this week as they spend a bit of time together connecting with Him and finding ways of reaching their communities together
