| Soccer Outreach Huge
Success Over 160 local boys participated in BTN's first-ever soccer outreach tournament. Teams were praying before their matches, singing Christian songs, and speaking about the Lord. The whole township was a-buzz, talking about what a boost and encouragement it was to the boys and how well organized it was. We met the township kids where they are at... on the soccer field! We showed them God's love and scored a victory for His kingdom! | |

| TSHM Team Partners with
BTN Late July - volunteers from The Servant's House Ministry (TSHM) came to do outreach and bless the community, focusing on the Bushveld Foundation orphanage where they painted the house, renovated the bathroom and brought much appreciated provisions. The team also visited Tshisereke Church where they shared a message with the congregation and gave them clothes and shoes. The church members were so encouraged! They said how exciting it is for them to have people visit and build relationships with them. "And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.'" - Matt 25:40 |

| Local Widows Fed The visiting TSHM team also assited in purchasing vital food and supplies for widows in our area. We co-operated with local Christians to ensure that everything went to 'widows who are widows indeed' (1 Tim 5:3). It humbling to see these elderly ladies praising Jesus for the simple foodstuffs we gave them. We thank the Lord that we can not only share the good news, but also bring the good news in a practical way to those in need. |

| BTN Vision: The
Lighthouse There is a tremendous need to help orphans and vulnerable children in the community with education, housing, and loving care. We are trusting God to build "The Lighthouse", which we will use to reach out and minister to orphans and vulnerable children in our area. We are planning to build a building for this purpose. Pray with us as we trust God to accomplish His will through BTN. (Right: Prospective site) |
