This quote really caught my attention last month. As I left my brother Patrick at the airport and be-

gan the drive home in silence, for the first time, I really felt the weight of responsibility I had taken
w

on in partnering with this incredible mission work in the heart of South Africa. I reflected on all I
w

had experienced in Africa, growing up there, the recent trips I had made to spend time with Patrick,

Cheryl and the team members of Reaching & Teaching. All at once it seemed like the magnitude of

the work, the scope of all still to be done suddenly was bigger than anything I could put my hands on.
Thankfully we have a God who delights in doing the IMPOSSIBLE.
Gauteng, the home of R & T Ministries, has a total area of 16,548
square kilometers, is slightly smaller than the US state of New Jersey.

om
It has an estimated population of between 13 ±15 million people. A

.c
population increase that is accelerated by the influx of rural people and

er
refugees from the whole of the African continent. This, compared to

rt
neighboring country Zambia who's land mass is 1/10th larger than
ve
Texas and has a total population of just over 9 million gives one a
on

glimpse of the magnitude of this urban ministry in the heart of Africa.

Hundreds of thousands of people flock to this densely populated area seeking something they have
D

not found anywhere else. REACHING AND TEACHING Ministries has been there in some form
tP

for almost 20 years with a message of HOPE to the HOPLESS. At the time of writing, from just
ar
m

ONE of the FOUR outreach centers of Reaching and Teaching Ministries, almost 400 souls have
.S

been baptized, this year, into a new way of life . Even in the absence of Patrick for almost two and
w

half months, the work carries on. The indigenous leaders have been equipped to minister and serve.
