Life
Church opened their doors to the whole community to be part of their weekend of
influence. Entrance was free to make sure everyone was able to attend. On the
Friday evening, Pastor Neville Goldman spoke a powerful message on sonship. "Ministry
without sonship, won't reach the world. True sons carry and build the Father's
House".
On the Saturday, the delegates were divided in groups to partner
with existing projects to reach out to the community and live lives of influence.

Primary School and Sibongile Day and Night Care Centre kah. At the end of the

On the Sunday, the church celebrated what they have accomplished
over the weekend and the hope that they gave to the community. Life Church also
honoured one of their missionaries, Annmaree Jorge, who was sent ny the church
their church 10 years ago to plant a church in Quelimane, Mozambique. Today God
has work through her to raise up a church of over a 1000 members and plant more
churched in four different cities and towns in Mozambique.
The theme of
the conference also tied in with Life church's Charitable Trust, Ubomi Turst,
which was launched also on the weekend. The Trust is established to build the
Kingdom of God by partnering with existing community projects to reach out to
the community. By partnering with these projects, we will be able to link the
local church with the people in need in the community and live out Life Church's
slogan "God cares, We Care, People Matter".
James 1: 27: "Religion
that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans
(and vulnerable children) and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from
being polluted by the world." |
