Newton Park Baptist Church:

For the month of May, we have been averaging in attendance, 49 people on Wednesday nights, 50 people on Sunday mornings, and 73 people on Sunday nights. There is still much work to be done! On Father’s Day, the Lord blessed with an attendance of 10 fathers who received the Gospel message and a small gift from the church. Also this coming Sunday, we will have our second baptism service.

A few matters of prayer for NPBC:

  • Leadership (spiritual growth and for others to step up with a desire to serve)
  • 10 Families in attendance to officially organize (praise the Lord, we currently have 4!)
  • Please pray that God would bless our outreach efforts into our surrounding communities

Pastor Dama and Soweto Baptist Church:

Please continue to pray for Pastor Mxolisi Dama and his recovery. He is still unable to attend church faithfully because of his health. He is still taking things slowly and day to day. His body and mind are continuing to feel the affects of the sickness, but he is slowly getting better. Please also pray for the congregation at Soweto Baptist Church and Lindokuhle Sikundla, who is there helping Pastor Mxolisi as he recovers.

Bay Baptist Academy:

We just finished up term two at the academy. We are currently on our winter break. Expansion and building are still at a stand still for the time being. Unfortunately, we have a neighbor who is not so happy that the school is expanding and growing and we are trying to work through this issue. We will meet today with the city planner to discuss the plan moving forward.

Prayer requests and needs for Bay Baptist Academy:

  • We are going to need to purchase a transport vehicle for the school. My research shows that a 15-passenger Toyota Hiace will cost $31,000.
  • We need qualified primary phase teachers. If you, or someone you know, would be interested in a 1or 2 year internship, please contact me!
  • We are still waiting on the approval from the Municipality to continue with the construction of more classroom space and expansions.
  • Please also pray for Joy Wahl, who is curruently raising funds to move here in January and begin working at the school. If your church would be interested in having her visit and present her ministry, please let me know!

Bay Baptist Bible College:

Bible College classes will start up again soon and I will have the privilege of teaching New Testament Church Epistles this coming term. I am very excited about this opportunity! There are currently Students attending Bible College. Please pray with us that the Lord will lay it on the hearts of more young people in our churches to enroll, and prepare for the work of the ministry.

As always, we are so grateful for each and every one of you that keep up with us and pray for us. You are truly a blessing!

 

Sincerely,

Jeremy and Bekah Hall and Family
