The Awakening South Africa Base is officially open with boots on the ground.
In December 2019, a board room in South Africa became a birthing room as 8 members of The Awakening team gathered to hear the voice of the Lord, to pray, and to plan. It was there that we heard Him clearly. It was there that we wept as our hearts were moved. It was there where we saw a glimpse of what God intends for this region. Now, on September 23, 2021 two of our three Awakening South Africa Base staff officially touched down in South Africa again, only this time, to stay and officially open The Awakening South Africa Base.
We’ve clearly heard the word of the Lord, to move throughout Southern Africa doing just what The Awakening does at every base – to disciple, equip, resource, and mobilize a generation into the harvest. We are sure of one thing – The mission is the Lord’s. He is the one in charge. He has simply asked us to be willing and we have answered with a resounding, “Here am I, Lord. Send me.”
From 2019 to now, we have seen the hand of the Lord. He has entrusted us with the charge to make His name great, to raise up not only believers, but those who will press in to the call of God on their lives. We are here because we believe Him. We believe His promises. We trust His faithfulness. We’ve seen His goodness. We are here because we believe there is a reviving of a generation to take place across Southern Africa. We’ve seen it. We’ve heard the sound. We know it’s coming. So, we take our place.
As we begin this journey we look to the past, to the present, and to the future. We honor the past. We see the price that has been paid to pave the way all these years before us. We celebrate in the now as we joyfully partner alongside IPHC ministry leaders and missionaries on the ground. We await the future in expectancy of what we know the Lord will do. He is faithful!
May the sound of heaven break open over Africa, and all over the world.
