Communities where Christ is least known
After years of prayer and analysis, we are relocating our office from Cape Town in Western Cape Province to a location near Durban in KwaZulu-Natal. This change brings us into a region that is, by many measures, the least reached in South Africa. We are obtaining a larger facility in a neighbourhood which will enable us to minister to those communities directly from our headquarters. Xhosa, Indian, and Portuguese ethnolinguistic communities, religious groups such as Muslims and Hindus and Amazioni, and international students and workers will all be closer to our centre and more central in our focus.
Prayers
Pray for an awakening among South African churches that do not have a history of sending missionaries. Pray they will have effective service in cross-cultural missions.
