SOME OUTSTANDING RESULTS OF CHURCH RENEWAL FROM 2008 IN SOUTH AFRICA

In April and May of last year, Church Renewal teams ministered in several locations in South Africa. The teams did Experiencing God Weekends and Pastor-Wife Retreats majoring on Unity, Putting a Face on Grace, and Called and Accountable.

TBM led a Church Renewal weekend at Shiloh Terrace Baptist Church in Dallas.  The church's leadership writes:  The small group settings of the weekend was effective - people found out things they didn't know about one another.  Several people mentioned they loved the sessions and it made them realize they needed to grow spiritually and be more involved in church activities.

On Satruday night of our lay renewal weekend, we were asked to write a letter to Jesus, put it in our Bible and from time to time look at it and see if we were growing in our maturity in the Lord.  After finishing mine, I suddenly wrote a P.S. saying, "I would like to go to Africa and share your love and plan of salvation.  What do you think?  Please let me know."
