Pastor Semi, our team leader in Lautoka, wanted to mentor four young men that were part of his church. Having taught StepOut-StepFree in Lautoka and Ba prisons he decided he try it out with these young men.
The first week went well, as did the second. In fact it all went well, so well in fact that the numbers kept growing and Pastor Semi had to keep going back to the start as the original four grew by word of mouth to seventeen - young and older, men and women.
The impact of this StepOut-StepFree is still being measured. In simple terms it brought people back to church life and engagement; it grew faith and a passion for God; it built new strength where people were weak; it reconciled people to Christ and each other. We had seen and evidenced this in the classes behind the walls, however it was thanks to Covid-19 and Semi’s heart that we got to road-test StepOut-StepFree in the community.
Enjoy the video of Tai, one of the two young men who were so inspired by the impact of StepOut-StepFree on their own lives that they have both now joined the OF team as volunteers.
Pray for Pastor Semi and the OF team as we engage in the ministry of restoring lives and restoring communities for the glory of Jesus Christ.
