Hi again!
Just wanted to send a quick update and request for prayer. God is up to something awesome in Gaborone, the capital city of Botswana!!!!
I mentioned last post about the Unashamed Botswana Movement and how we are planning to hike the biggest mountain in Gaborone, Kgale, tomorrow. Last year about 90 youth joined together for the hike and fellowship, teaching, worship, and prayer at the top.
This year, we on the Unashamed committee are BLOWN AWAY by the response on Facebook to the "Up Kgale Challenge"--as it stands right now, 800 people say they are coming and 327 say they "maybe" are coming!!!!!!! This may well be the largest group that has ever been on top of the mountain!!
The event will take place tomorrow morning, Saturday 26 January. I will be leading worship and giving a 15-minute testimony on top into a megaphone. We had no idea it would explode to such high numbers, so this is really an amazing opportunity to share with upwards of 800 people!!! Thus I covet your prayers, that God would guide my words and really speak through me. For those who are familiar with it, I'll be sharing the story of Caleb from Joshua 14 where he says, "Give Me This Mountain!!" in regard to reclaiming the mountain city of Hebron, and relating it to the situation in Gaborone. I will share more of the testimony in a later post, but for now, I just wanted to ask for prayer for anyone who might read this before we hike tomorrow morning. I'm excited!!!! God is moving in our city among the youth!!!
Blessings,
Em
Here are some stories during my journey in Botswana as a Youth for Christ missionary. It's called "Hope4Botswana" because I believe The HOPE for Botswana is Jesus Christ. My desire as His Ember is that God uses me to KINDLE the flame of faith and potential in youth, and REKINDLE the flame of faith and potential in those who need to be stirred up again...resulting in UNQUENCHABLE lovers of Christ!
