The World Cup has finally come to and end and it was a great success here in Cape Town. I had the great opportunity to watch the games in different venues and experience the traffic, the vibe, the crowds, the loud vuvuzelas, and to spend those precious moments with great friends!
I did watch one game at the Cape Town stadium and it was fabulous even though they were in the nose-bleed section. (Everybody had a great view). After the game I just asked one of the local coordinators who was the most famous player and what team did he play on. They told me it was Cristiano Rinaldo from Portugal. I couldn’t believe it……..all this time when I watched Portugal win 7-0 against North Korea at the Cape Town Stadium, I didn’t realize I was watching Crsitiano Rinaldo play. Oh well….I have posted some of the pictures of the World Cup event on my blog and will post some of the pictures on facebook.
Cheers!

Dear father God,

God, who loves me,
Help me to confess this for all of my days:

Lord, I love You.
I love You each and every day,
I want to love You only,
And love You to the death.

May only the name of Jesus be present on my lips and amongst my thoughts,
May I love the Lord with my all.

I love my family,
my wife,
my son,
my daughter,
that the Lord has gifted me with.

I love the missionaries,
the local friends in mission,
that the Lord has sent to walk by my side.
I love the sisters and brothers of Africa,
those, for whom the Lord had carried the cross.
I love the African brothers and sisters, whom the Lord has called his
children.

I love the friends in mission who were sent to build the kingdom of God
together.
I love the pastors, deacons, elders and partners in Christ who are committed
to and working together in this ministry,

I love the kingdom of God.
I love the eternal things of His kingdom,
and all the nations of His kingdom.

Because You live, I live,
I love all these things that You created,
I love all the people that were created in Your image.
God, My father! I love You.
I love Jesus,
I love the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

For the Kingdom.

With the scene of gospel becoming established through these servants in Khayelitsha, we realize that your prayers are with us. Witnessing the children change, we feel your prayer surrounding us. In these scenes where youths become committed as Sunday school teachers, we see your continuous interest and prayer for the mission. Thank you, thank you, and Thank you again.

For the last few years, the ministry in Khayelitsha of Cape Town has focused on children’s ministry. Khayelitsha is a black people’s area where a population of one million makes a living in severe poverty.. There are rows of squares in which houses are poorly built with rotten iron or wasted wood… a place represented by ragged clothes and hunger… depressing because of crime and AIDS… but we proclaim that there is hope, as we look towards the Lord. We know there is hope because of Jesus. We go to Khayelitsha, shouting ‘for the kingdom!’ everyday. When we look at Khayelitsha with the eyes of Jesus, we see hope. We see children. There are about two hundred thousand children… and they are hope. Lord, give us these two hundred thousand children. May these two hundred thousand children hear the gospel… With this prayer, we started Sunday schools. Currently, about 2500 children gather every Saturday in Sunday schools that the Lord has allowed. This is the beginning. Lord! Have pity on these children, and may you bring the light of salvation in the hearts of these children. May the million people of Khayelitsha change through Sunday schools. May there be a Sunday school built in every block. May you accept the commitments of the Sunday school teachers, and guide the teachers who will lead.

During the last three weeks, seven more Sunday Schools have been built, in the area called SST. Also, about twenty more youths have volunteered to be teachers. Last week, we invited 10 volunteer teachers in the camp, taught them, and shared with them about starting Sunday school and teaching. In other areas, the youths who have grown up in Sunday schools wish to form youth groups meetings. Due to the lack of a place to gather, Sunday schools take place in the homes of teachers, hair salons, and garages.

The children had grown in the Sunday schools built 13 years ago, and have now become 17-year-old youths now, volunteering as teachers, gathering and loving the children, in the same Sunday schools where they had grown. This is the likeness of our Lord. Lord, we thank you. Change Khayelitsha through the children. May Your kingdom come through the children.

Please pray with us:

There are many areas within Khayelitsha where there still need Sunday schools to be built. Site B, Site C, Downtu, Makasa… Lord, these regions are your kingdom. Your people are there. Have mercy. May you build Sunday schools in these regions.
May the teachers who will commit themselves for Sunday school stand. May You accept the youths. Bless those hearts, though young, that are determined to love, follow and obey the Lord.
With the growth of Sunday schools, we are looking for the Lord’s family who are able to adopt and pray for Sunday schools. May there be found sponsors, who could adopt a Sunday school, support with love and prayer, and provide $40 a month (to cover snacks, transportation for teachers, education for teachers, children’s camps).

The family of missionary Young Ohm and Young-Ae Yu

The weather is cold again here and it’s been raining for awhile.  It’s very hard to dry our clothes here when the weather is bad.  Just be thankful for your dryer because I dry my clothes on the heater now!  Enjoy your hot summers!

By the way there are more pictures on my blog about the Grand opening in Green Point.
