The partnership letter for September 2026

Dear beloved family of God

Greetings in the wonderful and matchless name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Some really exciting things have been happening. God has been amazing. Our meetings at Umhlanga have been phenomenal. It is an honor and a privilege to see the hand of God upon our lives and the ministry. A promise fulfilled. We have been given the opportunity to take territory. This is evidence of the blessing of the Lord in our lives. We are so grateful. Please remember that you are a partaker of the grace on our lives as well.

Let this month of September be a month of sowing seed. Let it be a month when you are intentional about giving offerings unto the Lord. Giving of your seed reminds you where your heart is. The bible says, where our treasure is, there our hearts will be also.

I am not making an appeal for money from you. I want us to remember the character of God that says He gave His only begotten son. We must become more and more like him, so sowing seed in the kingdom should be a subconscious act on our behalf. We should always have the kingdom of God on our minds. We think of the things our family needs, our car needs, our personal needs and things like that. Now, what we are asking is that you think of the house of God in the same way. There are needs that have to be met in the house of God and as each one of us take responsibility, every need is met and the church is a reflection of the glory of God.

I thank God for those of you that a bonafide, joyfull givers who give generously and constantly. You may give in secret but our God who knows and is delighted, will bless you openly. Like David, you will be called a person after God’s own heart. The children of Israel all stayed around the temple. The temple of God was the center of their dwelling. Each tribe stayed outside of the temple in a circle. Their focus was on the temple. We need to have the house of God as one of our designated responsibilities. In our budget as we have put aside money to pay for and take care of things, likewise we need to budget in seed sowing into the kingdom of God. I trust you feel as strongly about giving as we do. The house of God is an important part of our lives.

I see God multiplying your seed sown and you will live in the overflow of every blessing that He has for you. This is your time of harvest and increase.

Please continue to walk in victory and good success. Take heed to the mandate on our lives, to go out and win disciples.

We love and appreciate you all very much.

    God Looks at the Heart

    Evil Thoughts

    “But whatever [word] comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and this is what defiles and dishonors the man.

    When we come to the altar of Salvation, every one of us has an un-pure heart full of evil. Perhaps most of us do not have the thoughts of murder etc. however there are ot…
