A new ministry season

Just married and looking forward to doing ministry with my wife!

Chinelle & I just got married, on 23 October 2010! Yeahhhhh!! It’s so exciting also because we share the same heart for reaching students on university campuses with the gospel, and so I’m looking forward to ‘working’ with my wife. More and more I’m seeing how God’s grace on our lives is for His glory, and that He has a plan for us and a destiny for us as a unit. I’m just humbled and happy to have the girl of my dreams :)

Bloemfontein Ministry Partnership Training

The week so far  - giving training in Bloemfontein

13 leaders from Bloem, Rustenburg, Cape Town, Johannesburg and Lesotho came for a week long training on ministry partnership for their various ministries! It’s so amazing & humbling to see how people leave other dreams behind in order to take up their call to go and reach campus students, youth and plant churches on a full-time basis!

Day 2 of 4

All of us are called to ‘go’ in different ways (some to business, some to teaching, nursing, etc.) and all these need to be used to reach the whole world with the gospel on Christ.

“The harvest is plentiful...” (Luke 10:2)

The youth are waiting; the college students and communities are waiting to be reached.

ps: be sure to check out some photos of day 1 & 2 here :)

Baxter Training Day - October

Preparing for the training day on Saturday

“Love the Lord your God with with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment.” Matthew 32:37-38. We, as the Baxter, felt God say to us that for us to fulfil this command, it boils down to: Loving God, loving people, making disciples & transforming society. And, a way to strategically equip the students we minister to we classified all we do as Be Connected, Be Established & Be the Difference ie be connected to God and to each other, be established in the Word, and actively seek to be the difference in society. Everything we do in campus ministry falls in our of these categories and aims to directly fulfil the greatest command given by Christ. As part of ‘Be the Difference’ on Saturday we are having another training day  focusing on missions, councelling (altar & follow up) and discipleship.

I’m humbled to be sharing/teaching 1 of the 3 discipleship sessions to bring a biblical meaning of what it means to be a disciple, why it’s important and how we can live it. It’s an area I’m also constantly learning in my own life to rely on God to live it  only through the power of the Holy Spirit for “it’s not by might nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord.” Zech 4:6
