The place was Cape Town South Africa…
Our team was living in Khayelitsha, one of the largest townships in the South Africa with an estimated population of over 1 million. On this particular day we were in teams of 3-4 going through the township simply knocking on people’s doors and offering to pray for them. This would never work in America, yet in Khayelitsha it was very different. The people were hungry for the gospel and intrigued by foreigners. We knocked on a door, and a young man, about 16, answered. After chatting for several minutes and finding out that he was preparing for exams at school, I asked if we could pray for him and his exams. He agreed and invited us to come in. A few seconds later 3 of his friends knocked at the door. They looked bewildered at this group of 3 foreigners plus 2 kids in their friend’s living room. He explained why we were there, and they wanted to come in. We were about to begin praying for them when I felt the Lord prompt me to ask them if they had ever had a relationship with Jesus before. This opened the door to a wonderful conversation about the Lord who loves them and gave up his life for them! After quite a long discussion I asked them what they thought. All 4 of the boys spoke out with conviction, one at a time, “I want to know this Jesus!!!” I was shocked! Read the rest of this entry »
