Standing at the closed gate of Fisherman's Village, I needed to phone reception to open the gate. The sun was bright and I couldn't see the screen of my phone clearly. I pressed the wrong button and dialled the wrong number.
William answered - he is one of two pastors who I met during a recent Holy Spirit conference - we were both delegates! It was good to hear his voice and we had a short chat.
The gate opened and I entered the main office. There was a visitor - another delegate from the conference. The other of the two pastors whom I met at the conference!
Both of the two pastors - not only brought to my remembrance, but brought into contact in person! How WOW is that ...
Coincidence? I don't think so!
... and now I am inviting you to follow me online in my quest to see what God has in mind for me and the 2 pastor friends.
Prayer-walking from William's house in Soweto to Pitso's place off the Dikhololo road on the other side of Brits.
On the previous prayer-walk when I walked around Johannesburg for 7 days, I met a man in Slovoville, Soweto. We have had incredible impact on each others lives. We are almost the same age, and have grown up within 20 km from each other, but because of the Apartheid in this country, we have discussed lots about growing up in 2 completely different worlds in the same city. He said to me one day that even after all these years it was still hard for him to talk about some incidences. I thank God that since we met, Lewis has told me he has experienced a lot of inner healing. He spoke about how seeing this white guy walk through his neighborhood, and being personally prayed for and befriended, let to him and his wife to accept the Lord in a fresh full way, and getting baptised early one icy winter's evening.
Lewis has volunteered to prayer-walk with me!
Please pray for us and with us as we prepare to step out in this adventure for God.
