2020

​August 2020

• We stand in awe of how GOD just showed up with an excess of Grace and good health to our family. GOD is doing something incredible!
• We dedicated August to all females around the world, and we took a strong stand to say NO TO GENDER BASED VIOLENCE especially against females as well kids. We are not excluding any gender hence we declare a war against GBV!
• However, we celebrated all females through a powerful Women’s March on Women’s day 9th August in our town as well as in other communities in South Africa. More pics of the marches will be uploaded on our website www.kingdomsportsministry.org
• Covid-19 has really pushed us as a ministry to a new level of trusting GOD for the many youth and ministry leaders around South Africa and beyond in various parts of Africa. It personally brought my wife and I to a point of just surrendering more & more to the Helper, Provider, Healer, Comforter and only Father Christ Jesus......Why, well after receiving overwhelming requests for food from both males and females across Africa let alone just the local ministry kids parents, we believe you cannot teach a hungry person hence we tried to help as many as possible but realizing when we give it to GOD then HE makes all things possible. Thank you to all that contributed and still contributing towards our Covid Feed.

• We are thankful that we are now able to operate from a family laptop for online schooling due to Covid-19 as well as a ministry laptop for myself to be able to continue leading and raising up dedicated disciples throughout Africa through the various social media platforms. Special thanks to the gifts for Laptop support!
• The gospel Living ball is making its way around the African Continent and just amazed how many African countries we were able to bless with the Gospel through a soccer ball! Thanks to the Living Ball Ministry leader, Mani for support!
• Coach Todd from Ireland surprised our ministry with fantastic tools to use. 
• Another highlight is our new Hip Hop street dance ministry launched during Covid-19 by a now young adult boy who came to our ministry house doorstep before he even could walk properly in a diaper! Huge thanks to missionary Kyle for ongoing love and support shown to our community and specially theses young boys!
• A grateful and heartwarming appreciation to so many of you who support our ministry specially through prayer as it’s the biggest investment required; you know who you are. Too many to mention by name but CSRM family we say “baie dankie”/ Thank you very Much for believing in the life we live for GOD.

June 2020

• I do believe that the Lord is stepping into the situation in the world today, to do what He does best, bring us freedom. Thank you for the support we have received during this challenging time. We rejoice in how the Lord has provided during this time. Thank you!
• We never stopped the ministry, just continued via social media due to Lock down restriction of movement.
• Covid restrictions in South Africa continue to be lowered but many job sectors remain close. Church leaders are feeling the effect to effectively disciple due to many families unable to return to work and needing to provide for their families. This slow re-entry into churches have left many followers relying on government for a mere monthly R350/$23 per family as a food relief fund hence my previous request which was gracefully supported by your generous giving. We have a partnership with a huge supply store to maximize the food relief funds to reach as many families throughout South Africa as possible.
• We are doing June and July Virtual Online Trainings with new GNPs in Africa. No trips due to Covid-19 lock down restrictions

Prayer Requests

• Keeping my family healthy during Covid-19 pandemic
• Wisdom to lead Africa effectively
• Strength to continue to lead national pastors fraternal to convince Government Church is essential

April 2020
​- There have been very little activities this month, due to the Coronavirus lock down situation in our country. The greatest success so far is being able to connect digitally to the African CSRM staff & GNPs. 

- Together we are defeating COVID-19 as well as DEFEATING HUNGER IN AFRICA. We want to keep you informed of how you're bringing positive global change, reducing global hunger and poverty in Africa through OUR FAMILY LIVES. Our heart is to support all nine African countries we are associated with through the ministry as well as support the local nine state/provincial ministry leaders helping us within South Africa to grow CSRM that we disciple.

- We believe you cannot teach a hungry human so we are in a season to feed during COVID-19. We aim to feed 165 families during this time. Thus far we managed to feed 72 families, and 52 families gave their lives to GOD!

- We understand the nature of the current global pandemic so we are more than grateful to you for blessing many families in this challenging time for both you and others. If this is all news to you for the first time.... remember it’s never too late to be a blessing!

-I recently started training a former associate based in Lesotho, and he is super excited to be part of CSRM in future. 

​
Greatest Challenge
-My greatest challenge recently has been to raise enough finance to feed ministry families & keep momentum going for CSRM due to COVID-19 pandemic.

2019

• Kingdom Sports Ministry having our annual year end camp 13-15 December 2019, at Zonekus Holiday resort. We would like to take all 50 kids to camp. 
  • ​We have the camp merely to show appreciation to the kids for their commitment throughout the year to wanting to change their way of life through our sports and life skills program we offer throughout the year for a better future amidst the daily challenges in communities.
  • The Year 2019 – Our Ocean View community kids started 2019 with much fun and freedom up until June holidays. Our community then sadly went into turmoil to a point where we couldn’t reach out to kids physically due to the area not been safe! We are thankful for technology because we could connect with kids via social media. We had a really tough year working with the kids, and it tested us and kids many times, daily & weekly to persevere despite harsh conditions. These kids & the youth leaders deserve a break!
  • For this reason, KSM is seeking funding to be able to send all 50 children to camp. $30 will pay for one child's ticket to camp. We are also seeking funding to pay for food, activities and transportation to and from the camp.
  • The payment deadline is 11/20/19
  • Kids will enjoy camp activities: swimming, obstacle courses, rope climbing, spike ball & life skills sessions.
    We challenge you to adopt a child by sponsoring him/her $30 for their annual end of year kids’ camp.
    Due date is 30 November for the 50 kids & 5 youth leaders to turn in camp finance.
  • THANK YOU: The kids thank you in advance for helping them to just have fun for a moment
    & just be a kid again. This Camp is made possible through kind support & donations & tax deductible.
• Currently involved with individually mentoring and coaching nine men. One in each province/state in South Africa.
• Then I am involved with 6 other advisees/churches in six different countries in Africa.
