South Africans always crave a good braai. This past weekend, Stefan experienced a great braai with a twist.
After preaching at a church in Sant Cugat, Spain (close to Barcelona), the congregation invited him to a braai where they served Calçot, a green onion that is not round but long shaped. They grill the onion plants in the flames on the braai. They then remove the charred pieces and dip the delicious inner parts into an almond sauce. Scrumptious!
But more encouraging than the delicious braai was seeing the growth and missional focus of the church. Non-Christians came to church, and the Youth eagerly studied the Bible together. The photo shows them looking up Scripture on their phones.
Another treat was visiting a church called “Imperfect,” which focuses on helping refugees find Jesus and teaching them employable skills. Stefan enjoyed a good meal prepared by refugees learning to be cooks and restaurant managers.
The Lord is at work around the world, and His children are finding ways to serve their communities. Thank you for helping us be a part of His work.
Prayer Requests:
- Stefan is currently in Malta, meeting with partners working in North Africa and the Middle East. Pray for good connections and for strategic opportunities to partner.
- Pray for the churches in Europe that are shining the light of Jesus in difficult times.
Die vrug van die regverdige is ‘n boom van die lewe, en hy wat siele win, is wys. Spreuke 11:30. Bid en vir julle sal gegee word; soek, en julle sal vind; klop, en vir julle sal oopgemaak word. Mattheus 7:7. Mag die Here al julle werk seën en Sy lig altyd helder deur julle skyn. Die Here het groot behae in julle standvastige geloof en arbeid met die insameling van Sy oes.
