An Addition to the Worship Service

Sunday, we asked Grandma Maria Baloyi, how was your week spiritually? Half way through, I thought a brief recording would encourage others. Here is a translation, since I can’t figure out how to make subtitles in the video.

“Jesus died for us. Now, I trust that all of us know that Christ died for us. All this month, I don’t need to be distracted by any thing. God saved me. His blood washed me. Jesus loves me, and I love him with my whole heart. I had been rotten. I had been a worm. I had been a church goer but I didn’t know Christ.”

Now in her 60’s, she was baptized in June 2023 as the third member of the Makhasa church plant after being attracted through street evangelism in 2022.

When we started meeting in Makhasa, we had only a two-hour window of time open on the Lord’s Day before the next church plant. So we started taking time in the Sunday meeting to ask people how many days they had read their Bibles. Over the weeks, we have added other questions, such as how can we pray for you, how are you serving the Lord, or how is your spiritual health.
