June Prayer Update
The new member of the Nyathi family
Great news; Gloria and Pastor Vincent were blessed with an additional member of their family this month. They are both proud parents of a healthy baby boy. Vukosi was born on June 5th. Vukosi means “Kingdom” in Zulu. Click here for more pics.
We also wanted to share what an incredible time we had with 3 different teams serving alongside us recently. A Campus Outreach group from the states came and partnered with us and the Powerhouse as well as a team of 20 folks from North Carolina and Georgia.
The team that built walls for widows in the community
The team members came to learn and serve and work alongside the local church. It was beautiful to see God’s Church serving in this manner into the community. Posted here on our blog are a few pics of what it was like. We plan on sharing more stories on this experience on the blog as it impacted so many.
Celebrating hard after working hard serving in the community and building relationships.
Because this is our last update before we arrive back in the good ol’ U. S. of A we want you guys to be blessed with a bunch of pics we have been holding back on over the year. Check our picture gallery here for pics of “life in our house,” or “hanging out” and a bunch more to get a picture of our time here… consider it a “Year in Review.”
Prayer Requests
1.) Thank God for our growing baby and for the life of Vukosi Nyathi. Life is precious and there is nothing like a baby to remind us of that.
2) We thank God for the vision teams that came and left with so much accomplished and so much learned. We pray that God take what each team member learned and continue to apply it to their lives and ministries back in the U.S. We especially thank the Lord for the amazing example and hospitality the Powerhouse Church showed to our visitors from overseas. They felt loved and welcomed like never before.

3)We pray that God watch over the lives of the widows we got to serve. Ask Him to grant us wisdom on how to better serve them in their distress. (James 1:27)
4.) Pray for our travels and transition back to the U.S. and for everything God has for us there.
It’s our last update from Africa this year but we will still keep you informed as to our whereabouts. Hopefully even this summer we will get to see many of you as we travel back to the US.
As always we are thrilled to be partnering with you in doing God’s work here in Southern Africa.
follow close, follow hard
