It was a historical time in South Africa where Soccer fans around the world merged

together to attend the World Cup Soccer Games, at one or more of the ten venues – newly built
structures creating a memorable spectator experience for tourists and visitors.

Seating capacity ranging from 43,589 - 94,700 the largest at Soccer City Johannesburg.
Prayer Requests This event created work for over 140,000 South Africans, with Chinese Engineers overseeing
these projects. Spain won the World Cup Trophy against Netherlands 1 - 0.
Our Mission Emphasis
Like most soccer fans here in the USA, Anita and I were sad to see the USA and SA
Teams not make it through to the finals. Nevertheless, we are very humbled that many of our
Native Indigenous Pastors, Evangelists, Bible School Students and Personal Workers, were able
to gather for the entire month, at various Stadiums, Nelspruit, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Rustenburg
and Durban, to hand out tracts and witness to thousands of fans attending the games. These
stadiums were the closest to our people, ministries and their homes. We had the co-operation of
many local ministries who donated tracts, New Testaments, the gospels of John and Romans, to
be used in the soul-winning outreaches at these venues. What surprised us most, was that the
tourists attending the games, were friendly, receptive and generous, giving water, food and
donations to the workers who were there at the opening and closing of every game.

One of our Senior Pastors reported that as a group effort, our teams reached 17,200
people during June and July 2010. As they greeted tourists and fans, they used the Key Phrase,
“Do You Have A Minute?” - those who responded “Yes”, were witnessed to, and prayers for
these individuals and families were shared. Hundreds of unbelievers made a decision to accept
Jesus as their Savior; Many shed tears as they rededicated their lives to the Lord, promising to
attend church when they returned home, leaving with a New Testament KJB in their hands.
Christians rejoiced to meet fellow Christians; Many European Christians helped hand out tracts
and ministered with our teams, side by side. Praise the Lord, what a blessing.
When God provides an opportunity (Event such as this) our Teams are ready to minister
and reach out to win souls for the Kingdom of Heaven.
South Africa is approximately 2/3 larger than Texas. At present the population is 47
million black people, and less than 1 million whites. There are 37 major minerals, such as gold,
diamonds, copper and coal from which gasoline and diesel are manufactured at refineries locally.
Not to mention the many by-products from all the major minerals. There are 19 large electricity
generating facilities that supply the country with power.
