Off to South Africa

From August 23 to September 15, Barbara and I will travel throughout South Africa for nearly three weeks, speaking at various events, as FamilyLife in South Africa celebrates its 10th year of ministry. We will post frequent ministry updates and prayer requests throughout our journey, so please check this blog often and keep us in your daily prayers. We value your feedback and encouragement via the "Comments" link below each posting.

The ministry of FamilyLife in South Africa was launched by Quintus and Isolde Swanepoel in 1996. Today, South Africa is one of more than a dozen countries we have identified as self-sustaining “FamilyLife Movement Countries.” The others are New Zealand, Australia, Poland, Romania, the Ukraine, Croatia, Taiwan, the Philippines, Italy, Switzerland, Fiji Islands and Spain.

My speaking engagements will include a half-dozen evangelistic breakfasts and dinners in Pretoria, Johannesburg and Cape Town. We will present a four-night series on the family in South Africa’s largest Dutch Reformed church. We will also conduct two arena events (similar to our “I Still Do” events) with 3,000-5,000 people each in Cape Town and Pretoria. Thanks in advance for your prayers.
