Vusi
Vusi is the guy who used to live for the world, smoking and doing all the bad stuff you can imagine. But
when I met him he broke down into tears and said he is tired of the life he has been living. He said he is
desperate for something that will save him from the life he was living. When he heard about Jesus he was
super excited, saying, "I want this Jesus, Sbu." So now Vusi has Jesus in his life. He is now teaching the
youth of Masi cricket in order to win them from the life in the street to Jesus.
 Sive and the naughty boys
Let's all come together with grateful hearts and give praise to god who is bringing prodigal sons back
home to his heart. Last year in July God gave me a new vision about what he wanted to do with the
naughty boys (also known ‘gangsters’) in the streets. He said I see bones but he sees and an army. I
reached the boys in the street, started DBSs (discovery bible studies), they were experiencing the love of
God in a very tangible way. I had one day/one night camp with them. They were 12 guys but 9 accepted
Jesus. Today I'm here to tell you that nothing is impossible for God. He is the restorer of hope and
identity. Unfortunately, eight of the young men fell back into their old ways (three of them are in jail as
we speak). But one of the young guys, named Sive, said he is not going back to his old life! He is now
working with me in Masi and God is using him to transform people's lives. He is actually touching the
lives of other gangsters in the street.

Mama Irene
Mama Irene, aka Mama Africa, is Sive’s mama. She is an
awesome intercessor. We've been having discovery bible study
with her, and her greatest prayer was for all her children who
have been living terrible lives, and Sive was one of them. I took
her out to do evangelism to her neighbours, and we are having a
discovery bible study which will soon turn into a church with one
of her neighbors.

None of this would be possible without the support I have received from so many people.
I thank those of you who have worked with me, prayed for me, and given financially to
make these ministries happen. I’m so blessed to have your support.
Prayer Requests
• Pray that the naughty boys will give up the streets and come back to know their true identity in God.
