English/Français

The atmosphere of celebration surrounding the preparation for the World Cup in South Africa enhanced the excitement of the OM team to host the Ultimate Goal Challenge, an outreach to share the good news of Christ with locals, and visiting athletes and tourists. On Monday, 7 June, participants of all ages arrived in Magaliesburg eager to see God at work in the coming weeks. Some travelled from Pretoria, while others came from as far as Singapore and Alaska, USA.

Opening Night took the participants on a virtual journey around South Africa, with a dynamic blend of dances, sketches, songs, language and cultural trivia. Pranesh, Director of OM South Africa, introduced the theme for the outreach—One Team & One Goal—saying “The ultimate goal for our lives is to bring glory to God and win souls for eternity with God.” The night ended with joyful and energetic worship.

“I feel it is so special to have that many people willing to serve God, all from different countries and walks of life,” shared one participant. Praise God for this outreach currently happening in South Africa. Pray for opportunities for the participants to share God’s love with many, especially with those visiting from other nations.
 

BIENVENU A L’ « ULTIMATE GOAL CHALLENGE ! » – Afrique du Sud
L’atmosphère de fête qui règne autour de la préparation de la coupe du monde en Afrique du Sud a fait grandir l’enthousiasme de l’équipe d’OM pour accueillir l’Ultimate Goal Challenge (le Défit du But Final), une campagne pour partager la bonne nouvelle de Christ avec les habitants, les athlètes visiteurs et les touristes. Lundi 07 juin, des participants de tous âges sont arrivés à Magaliesberg, pressés de voir Dieu à l’œuvre au cours des prochaines semaines. Certains venaient de Pretoria, tandis que d’autres venaient de très loin comme Singapore, l’Alaska et les Etats-Unis.

La soirée d’ouverture a plongé les participants dans un voyage virtuel autour de l’Afrique, avec un mélange dynamique de danses, de sketchs, de chants, de langues et autres fantaisies culturelles. Pranesh, directeur d’OM Afrique du Sud, a présenté le thème pour la campagne – Une Equipe & Un But – en disant « le but principal de nos vies est de rendre la gloire à Dieu et de gagner des âmes pour l’éternité avec Dieu. » la soirée s’est terminée par un moment de louange joyeux et dynamique.

« Je ressens à quel point c’est spécial d’avoir tellement de personnes qui veulent servir Dieu, venant tous de pays et de parcours différents, » a partagé un participant. Louez Dieu pour cette campagne qui a lieu en ce moment en Afrique du Sud. Priez pour que les participants aient des occasions de partager l’amour de Dieu avec de nombreuses personnes, particulièrement avec celles qui viennent d’autres nations.
