God Has Another Idea!
In the world’s current economic predicament EGM is not looking for ministry expansion options. However, God has some other ideas.We had never heard about the people who speak Xhosa in South Africa. But God knew about them and their need of Him. He searched for people whose hearts would love these, the poorest of the poor, in Kayamandi, South Africa. Last year Terra Anders traveled with a team from her church to South Africa, working with the Xhosa people. They had planned to work with preschool children, but were also asked to train the adults how to teach!!! They quickly put something together, but felt that more needed to be done. They needed help!
This year Terra and her friend, Jen, came to an EGM Model Children’s Worker training where they received information on the Biblical approach to teaching.
They also received curriculum to use with the preschoolers. What was the result of EGM’s contribution?
Here is a quote from Terra on her return home July 17, 2009.
“The format you taught us and reviews of my lesson plans was invaluable to our success there…..I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for your help, guidance and support on this new, evolving ministry project among SA poorest children. I am hoping to continue this project and pray about having it spread past the walls of Kayamandi into some of the other townships where crèche (preschool) training and God’s Word is essential for the future of these children. We simply could not have done it without you.”
God’s heart is for the children no matter where they are. We are blessed that EGM was able to participate in an unexpected way in the work that God is doing in South Africa.
