Supported Worker: Johannes (& Mathapelo) Thaele
Country: South Africa
Details: ESI classes have started for the pastors currently in the equipping program. They are preparing to hold ESI Facilitator Training conferences in South Africa and Lesotho in April. Pray for Johannes as he makes preparations for the training—specifically for the accommodations needed. Pray that the pastors will implement what they learn from the training. Praise the Lord that people are coming to the new church plant and are giving their lives to Jesus Christ. It was launched with the help of the funds raised at Parkside’s VBC 2024. Pray for these new believers to be rooted in Christ and to become committed followers. As Johannes and his helpers continue to minister to children in the schools, pray for God to soften the hearts of the children to receive the gospel of Jesus Christ. Rwanda (Africa). Population: 14,414,910 Believers: 26.9%. Rwanda made great progress since the tragic events of 1994, when Hutu extremists seized power and began the genocide of the Tutsi minority and Hutu moderates. Eight hundred thousand perished in 100 days. Over 1 million fled, and more violence followed. Political stability since 2000 allows Rwandans a chance to rebuild. Rwanda’s economy is now one of the fastest growing in Africa. The government banned ethnic identification. People are called Rwandans, and only Rwandans. Give praise for the people’s commitment to reconcile and build peace. Praise God that churches help lead this movement. From Operation World DVD-ROM 2010 and www.operationworld.org
