Mission Trip #2 - September 1999

With the success of the first trip, John Pascoe, Pastor of Westridge Baptist Church, asked me if I would lead a Sports Outreach Seminar at the Love Southern Africa International Missions Conference to be hosted at his church in September 1999. Again, after much prayer, my wife Janice and I went back to Mitchell’s Plain, South Africa to spend a week leading sports outreach workshops with pastors and lay people from all over Southern Africa. It was quite an experience. At least I did join a frequent flier miles program. I was getting the idea that God was not through with me in South Africa yet. That would prove to be a great understatement! It was at this conference that John Pascoe revealed God’s vision for a community center in Mitchell’s Plain whose purpose would be to use sports and recreation activities to reach the community for Jesus Christ.
