June 16th is a very important day in South Africa. This is national youth day, which is a day of remembrance of June 16, 1976 where 20,000 students' protested against the apartheid and for democracy and better education, approx. 700 youth lost there lives and thousands others were severely injured and tortured.
On this day we preached in Giyani at the Zone 5 Limpopo Youth Rally. What a marvelous day! They took the theme from the world cup "Feel it. It is Here." And they changed it to "Feel Him. He is here!" They came with their Vuvezela's ready for the presence and power of God to come! And He did just that. I preached on Forgiveness & Freedom and 3 people gave their lives to Christ and many removed the masks they had been wearing, repented and received freedom. Then Sarah preached about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the initial physical evidence of speaking in tongues. After her message the altars were filled with youth worshiping God and seeking the Holy Spirit. Approx. 20 youth were baptized in the Holy Spirit! We left there in awe of God He did exactly what He had spoke to me through His word in Mark 16:20.
It didn't stop there. Friday June 18-20 we were in Mpumalanga for a youth conference. We again saw God move in amazing ways! 14 youth gave their lives to Christ and 6 were baptized in the Holy Spirit!
We thank God for the work that He is doing in the lives of the young people and we know that He is not done! This is the beginning of a REVOLUTION!
Thank you for you prayers and please continue to pray that the hearts and ears of the young people will be open to the message of Jesus and their lives will be truly changed forever. That they will not be able to contain themselves and will tell all those around them about Jesus. Our passion is to make disciples, who will then make more disciples, and we can see South AFrica changed.
