God has been doing marvelous work in people’s lives over the past year in Johannesburg, South Africa!
… 10 students from UJ made professions of faith this year.
… 25-30 UJ students came to church with us every week.
… 40+ UJ students were involved in evangelistic Bible studies and ongoing evangelism with staff, some of whom have just come to Christ in the past two years!
… 30 UJ students participated in summer discipleship projects and mission trips. This summer, we expanded the opportunities and offered three:
The Khula Project was a three-week discipleship experience during which 80 students received training on how to study the Bible, pray, share their faith, and live healthily in a Christian community.
Khula Connect, a nine-day opportunity in Johannesburg, gave 20 students from three campuses more in-depth training than they had received on past Khula Projects. The students focused on personal development and evangelism. They applied what they learned alongside local churches in one of the region’s most impoverished areas.
A third group partnered with the local church for two weeks in Accra, Ghana. They were able to equip staff and students to minister more effectively at the University of Ghana. They also gave hands-on training in evangelism. The pastor described why he was so excited about the training: “What is missing on our campus is the guys who are doing life-on-life discipleship.”
CO SERVE connects CO campuses like those in Johannesburg with others worldwide. This allows CO staff to learn from one another and grow together. Join us in praying that God will multiply His work in South Africa.
