Some updates from the friendly city of Gqeberha, otherwise known as Port Elizabeth, in the Eastern Cape. 2024 has been an encouraging year indeed! 

Our campus and young professionals ministry have connected well, having enjoyed a wonderful retreat and with some attending Campus Encounter in Johannesburg.

Then, we of course felt very blessed with three baptisms in our campus ministry, one in young families, as well as two restorations. Our men’s ministry continued to meet faithfully on Saturdays, connecting deeply as they worked through books together which inspire Godly manhood.

We ‘relaunched’ our Family ministry with bi-weekly meetings on Friday evenings. Currently, we are working through the ‘Making Marriage Simple’ by Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt.

And what is a church calendar year without a church camp! A wonderful time together was enjoyed by all at InniKloof, which is set in a tranquil mountainous environment with no cell phone reception! 

We were also very blessed to have people visiting our city throughout the year, including students from campus ministries and young professionals from Cape Town, Johannesburg and Pretoria. We also had elders, teachers and family ministry leaders from the USA coming to our shores. 

Last but not least, we initiated a high-impact Justice Project by renovating an abandoned and vandalised home in a poor township to host a pre-school run by a faithful sister in our church.

We look forward to God continuing his transformative work in our church community, and blessing our city through us.
