The Gospel In Action

The Message is passionate about mission. More than that we are passionate about seeing young people in South Africa mobilised and engaging in local missions. Working with Word of Life Ministries was just that.

Our team had the opportunity to partner with Word of Life Ministries to help host a group of 25 young people and students to engage with Mission in Cape Town. The team spent time in Nyanga and Kewtown serving the young people engaging with our Community Hubs and joined in to serve at our annual Genetik Sessions Day Camp. 

The team was excited and on a clear mission to share Jesus in every place they set foot. 

One of the students wrote about their experience in Cape Town 

“…SMASH stands for ‘Students Ministering And Serving Him”’ and as a student, I was ministering to the locals of Cape Town. I was given the great opportunity and responsibility of sharing the Gospel with children at a community centre and a preschool. Even though it was not my first time, it was still a nerve-wracking experience since these were kids of a different culture and different backgrounds. Just observing their response to the Gospel and general behaviour showed me that kids are kids and no matter where they come from still deserve to hear the Good News and experience God’s love.

…My time in Cape Town was amazing and constantly reminded me to be grateful for all that God has blessed me with and the privilege that I have in this country to share the Gospel so freely. I hope my testimony is an encouragement to all who are reading it to be grateful, to share the Gospel and to remember that the God who created the world created them too.”

We’re thankful to have partnered with Word of Life Ministries to share the gospel across Cape Town. Join us as we pray for each young person who responded to the gospel during their missions week.
