GOD'S NOT DEAD
We live in a day and age where many people, especially young people from the so called "Western" society asks the question, 'Is God Dead?'
My answer is off course an emphatic NO. And there are many reasons why I have no doubt at all that the God of the Bible is alive and is seeking to have a loving relationship with all of us.
The reason why I am sharing this, is because our church is currently busy with the Sermon Series called "God's not Dead", where we are tackling some tough topics such as "Real Faith isn't Blind", "Good and Evil are no Illusions", "There was a Beginning", "Life is no Accident" and "Jesus and the Resurrection".
I am preaching this coming Sunday (17th of August) on "There was a Beginning" and I want to ask you to please pray for me, trusting that the Holy Spirit will guide me in both the preparation and the execution of the Sermon.
Here is a sneak peak of the type of arguments I will be using in the Sermon which proves that a creator had to bring life and the universe into existence:

BOYS HIGH
Furthermore, I am very excited to share that our ministry to the 300+ boys in the Boys High residences is going extremely well! We kicked off the God's Not Dead Sermon series there as well and on the first night (3 August) 33 of the boys committed their lives to Jesus Christ! Furthermore, myself and four other leaders from our church are already starting Connect Groups with most of them, to ensure that they can grow in their relationship with Christ. Here are some images:

KRANSKOP 2014
I went to serve at the annual Gateway Kranskop Youth Camp from the 1st to the 3rd of August. On the Saturday evening 30 teenagers responded to the Gospel and I had the privilege of helping to share the salvation message with them and to help ensure they understand what it means to be saved and to follow Jesus.

CAMPUS LEADERS
In Every Nation, when we speak of Campus, we refer to both Schools and Universities. In July, we had a strategic campus leadership meeting, where we shared vision and goals for the rest of 2014 to more than 30 Campus (i.e. Schools and Universities) ministry leaders! It is very exciting to see so many leaders stepping up to advance God's Kingdom by reaching the next generation!

FINAL THOUGHTS
With this in mind, I want to leave you with this final thought: If Christians keep on making disciples, and raising leaders, we will plant more churches and ultimately, advance God's Kingdom!
I want to thank you on behalf of both my wife and I, for your love, prayer and support! It is because of your partnership in this ministry, that this could all be possible!
