Africa For Christ
       Update

 
Dear Friends of Africa For Christ

What a year it has been! We look back over 2020 with a mixture of sadness, anxiety, as well as an overwhelming sense of God's faithfulness, protection and provision. It has been  a tough year for the Africa For Christ family. We have lost some precious friends and colleagues to Covid. Our thoughts and prayers are with loved ones that remain. As we end the year, some brief stories for our encouragement and to remind us that despite the challenges, our Lord is still very much at work!
Please find below how the Lord is using something as simple as Gardening through our Adopt A Village projects to reach people with the Good News!
Hope for a young man ...
One of our Church Planters working in the rural areas of the Eastern Cape wrote in his recent report how he had met a young man who had dropped out of school but was interested in gardening. Our Church Planter, by means of building a friendship with him, is assisting this young man to establish a garden and is in the process of discipling him. 
Providing purpose through our projects ...
Mama M's husband abandoned the family - she also has the responsibility of raising two grandchildren ... One of our Church Planters invited her to be part of a Community Gardening Project. She was so encouraged when the vegetables started to grow that she is already planning other Garden projects in her community. 
Many thanks for your faithful partnership with us this past year! Trusting you will have a blessed and refreshing time with friends and family over the holiday time!

 
Praise God for:
- His faithfulness in a challenging year
- Your faithful partnership with us!
- Financial provision this past year


Please pray for:
- Protection for our Church Planters in this   
   second wave of Covid

- Good opportunities to share the Good News!
- Wisdom in these challenging times


Yours in Christ
