2020 has been a WILD year filled with great ministry in the midst of unexpected turns and lots of changes. COVID-19, unrest in race relations, deep division and anger in political issues, the terrible local fires, and the list goes on. Jesus has been large in our church and we have weathered the storms of change together, with his help!

Elevation is preparing for our mission trip to Mexico. This trip will occur from July 6th to July 13th. The team that is going will be getting together for training days leading up to the trip.
As most of the South Africa team finished our long road home Friday night, we wanted all of you to know how much we appreciated all your support. Prayers, finances, suitcases, driving, and more. It takes all of God’s people to fulfill His mission for us “go and make disciples”.
In our time at Hamba Ekukhayeni we taught children stories from the Bible, taught adults how to pray and share their faith in Jesus, preached the Word and built a prototype hawk proof (we hope) chicken cage. Many came to a saving knowledge of Christ, had prayer for healing and freedom from evil spirits. We had a lot of time for fellowship with our Zulu friends and visited many in their homes and pre schools. The whole team taught, prayed and served in the ministry of Walk in the Light. It was a blessing to serve with God’s people in this place!
