Live life on purpose to glorify God
God is our ever-present help in time of troubles, but it’s important to know that trouble does not last always! Our God promises in His word that “He will never leave us or forsake us.” He is our provider in all things in this life. Jesus said, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you.” (Matthew 6:33). What “things” will follow? More blessings! Other blessings will follow, but we must first do the work, seeking Him and obeying His commandments. Then God will direct our steps to work out His purpose in our lives. We need to live on purpose doing those things that will glorify God.
We have an urgent request for funds to complete the next phase of the church building in South Africa!
In April we saw God’s faithfulness once again as He blessed our partnership campaign! We received a matching donation of $11,240 from our partner, however it came with certain stipulations. First, we must use this money for materials only and not for any other costs such as labor. With this donation we now only lack $19,000 to complete the first floor with the steel roof needed to ensure the integrity of the ground floor of the church building. We also had a fundraiser on September 22nd and raised $400. We would like to thank those that participated in responding to this urgent request. Secondly, we were instructed to complete this project in the next few months, so we need your help to complete our campaign requirements by providing labor cost. We are asking for skilled construction workers to volunteer to help complete this work in South Africa, and for donations of $50 per person or $2500 per congregation to reach our goal. As always, feel free to give whatever amount the Lord puts on your heart! We need volunteers and congregations to partner with us to save souls in South Africa, and our hope is that you will be the vessel the Lord uses to do so! We are happy to entertain your ideas and your suggestions!
Reiger Park Church of Christ
Cnr Stock & David Franch Street, Reiger Park,South Africa, 1559
“A Growing, Faithful Congregation StrivingTo Serve God and Mankind”
Dear Family in Christ,
We are so thankful to God for all the precious gifts we receive daily from Him. To God be the Glory. We greet you all in the precious and wonderful name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank you for all you do for the Church at Reiger Park.
Herewith attached is my qualification received for theology studies completed December 2017. In addition, here are a few photos.
August 12, 2018 a proposal was made by one of the brothers to appoint me, Vincent Joseph as the minister. The brothers gave their support to the appointment but then it had to go before the congregation at the annual meeting schedule for September 23, 2018. The entire congregation was able to vote and the vote was one hundred percent approved. Officially, October 1, 2018 I became the new minister at the Reiger Park Church of Christ. All glory to God!
B Vincent Joseph and wife, Claudy.
We are looking forward to starting with the next phase which will provide space for various counseling services, life skills training, a pre-school, an after-school center and
for the improvement of our Sunday school and current benevolence programs. This building will provide a haven where youth can participate in a comprehensive program of academic tutoring that promotes the physical, educational and life skills necessary to prepare and empower them for leadership in their community and success in their personal lives. We have seen too much crime, substance abuse, teen pregnancy, and academic failure, but all that can change by the Church playing a big part in their transformation. Now with God’s help through you we are close to making this a reality
We appreciate all your love offerings very much. We thank you and praise God for you!
