Hello from the Sullivan Family. It has been a busy time since our last prayer letter, and I’m excited to share what God has been doing through your faithful prayers and support.
We ended March by celebrating our Risen Savior! The Lord blessed tremendously, as we had 100 in our service, 55 of those being adults. Our mamas prepared a delicious traditional meal, and we had a great time of fellowship.
In April, we were blessed by a new church member, Mama Nomalungelo. She is one of the rare few that has come to our church, having already made a profession of faith. however, after some discipleship, she realized she had not been biblically baptized. She didn’t let pride stand in her way, and told us she needed to be baptized the right way. It was a joy to watch her follow the Lord in believer’s baptism. We also saw two others baptized this month. We enjoyed having Pastor Ryan Hayden and a group from his church visit for a couple of weeks. His preaching was a huge encouragement to our family.
May started our “family conference.” Pastor Sipho Bonga will be with us, along with a few national churches, every Thursday this month. We are excited for our people to hear about biblical marriage and parenthood. Please pray for this meeting. There are very few traditional families in our area. Most of the people in our area are not married and most young people do not grow up with aspirations of being married. This is obviously an attack from Satan to distort God's plan. We covet your prayers as we battle this way of thinking amongst our people.
“SAMP,” our new media ministry, is finally beginning. It has been a learning process for me, but we have begun recording and posting messages. We also want to thank Pastor Doug Horton for donating to this new ministry. We are hoping to get a recording studio together in the near future!
Prayers & praises:
- we want to thank God for giving Pastor Mxolisi Dama miraculous healing from Meningitis and complications this past month!
- We also want to Praise God for providing a vehicle for us while we are in the States. Jehovah-Jirah!
- We only have 6 short weeks before we bring our furlough. Please pray with us for the ministry here while we are going.
- I am still looking to fill a few openings in Florida and Eastern Tennessee/North Georgia area, if any church is interested in us coming by.
