Dewald Rosema and his team from Adventures4Christ reached out to Ponta do Ouro and Mamoli in Mozambique. They were accompanied by the Missionary, Annette. Annette also made a movie which touched the locals, and 60 people came forward after an invitation to give their hearts to Jesus! They visited the villages, schools and an orphanage where they brought the Good News to the people! They also met up with a soccer coach who also does some Missionary work amongst his people, and blessed him with three Living Ball soccer balls!

Sharing the Message to villagers
Living Ball joined the "Living Group Outreaches" from NG Church Moreletapark, Pretoria, on an outreach to Maun, Botswana. A group of 40 people from Pretoria, visited the people of Maun, and reached out by using the Jesus Film and the Living Balls. We visited a few schools, villages, people in Maun in the hospital and a butchery, the rubbish dump where Living Ball and Collect-a-can were involved, and also enjoyed a wonderful trip by boat on the Okavango Delta. In one of the villages we visited we met up with a soccer team whom was busy collecting funds for their team. Joshua and his wife Johanna who accompanied us on the outreach, shared the Good News to them, and they all wanted to give their hearts to Jesus! After they decided to follow Jesus, we equipped them with soccer balls and T-Shirts and shoes which they could use for their soccer team!
A big thanks to all the intercessors and sponsors involved, making this outreach a huge success!
