Easter in our South African church plant

Our church is growing spiritually and we can tell in many different ways, but during Easter week, it was very evident that our some of our congregation are desiring to grow deeper because of their involvement in spiritual preparation and fellowship before Easter Sunday.

Pastor Severo gave out a week-long devotional covering the events leading up to the Resurrection, we had a service on Wednesday night, a Good Friday Remembrance, and an Easter Sunday Celebration. When we gathered that week, some of our ladies would talk about what they’d read and were able to speak about what the devotional had to say; this is a huge step in our people knowing how to be in God’s Word at home! At each gathering that week, we were all eager to worship and hear more about what Jesus was going through leading up to the cross. We were all challenged to look at the disciples as a lesson for how easily distracted and quite ‘ignorant to what’s in front of us’ we can be in our walk with Christ. It was a wonderful time for our church and for our disciple-making focus!

God is moving. We’re making some progress. Praise Him!
