Mission Conference 2007 - Join us this weekend

You have a standing invitation to join us for a life changing event to be held at Raleigh First Church of the Nazarene in Garner, NC this coming weekend.

Pastor Praise grew up in the ghettos of Soweto (South West Township of Johannesburg) with a population of six million. He went on to study for two years to become an attorney when God redirected his life's calling. This is when he felt called into ministry and enrolled at the Nazarene Theological College (NTC). It is here that he met pastor Chuck Lockard who went on to mentor, equip, and train him to become passionate about God's calling on his life.

Come join us to hear Pastor Praise

A Note from Pastor Praise:

This past April we had our wedding celebration, we are still very excited about us being together.

Its exciting to be part of what God is doing in the church.
We are not too sure why God has entrusted us with such a critical calling but we are ready to be the tools in his hands.

We are pastoring a fast growing church in South Africa right in the heart of Soweto. We have planted the church in 2005 and we have an attendance of hundred every Sunday. We are now having a "good problem", the venue that we are renting is now too small to accommodate us.

We have an explosive praise and worship every Sundays. The burden that we have is to be a model church that will set trends for the African Church not only Nazarenes but the whole Evangelical Church. Recently we have started home cells and its encouraging to see the impact it has had in the church health.

I am also part of a life changing programme called "the Silver Ring Thing". It is a sexual abstinence programme aimed at the youth. I felt it was not good enough to preach about HIV/AIDS epidemic without being actively involved in educating and informing the youth about the lethality of being sexually active before marriage.

This is but the few of what God has placed in our heart.

Blessings

Praise Nkosi
