Yesterday was Sunday and Joseph, Thokozane, the team from the UK, Blake, Pumzile and I spent some time doing street evangelism. Hillbrow is quieter on a Sunday and even the minibus taxis seem to take a day off. We set ourselves up on the corner of two main roads and started by singing a few well-known Zulu songs. Then Joseph preached a five-minute message about God’s healing and love. Some people stopped and listened while others paused briefly. The breakthrough came when he offered prayer for those in need. The crowd around us grew as we placed our hands on people’s shoulders and asked God to meet with them. There is an openness to the gospel in South Africa that I haven’t witnessed in New Zealand and men, women and children came forward to commit their lives to Jesus when Thokozane invited them to. The need in this place is immense, the physical poverty is overwhelming and life is harsh and difficult. Please continue to pray for the people in Hillbrow.
