"My plan was to kill myself tonight unless I heard from God... here is the razor blade. " A disillusioned homeless epileptic, Daniel (real name with held), who gave his life to Christ a couple of weeks ago shared his story with us...

After group prayer for the Holy Spirit's leading, members of The Island Church spent Saturday morning fishing for men. One of the first people that Nathan and his team ministered to on the street gave his life to Christ and 4 hours later the team found him sitting with Daniel. As the team encouraged Daniel with the Hope he has in God, Nathan discovered that Daniel is the estranged father of one of the students that we minister to at the hostel every afternoon... he cried when he realized that God was taking such good care of the son, and he came to church on Sunday for more prayer.

Angels are rejoicing in heaven as 64 people prayed with Island Church 'fishermen', to know Christ in a more personal way on Saturday. The teams reported back that they were encouraged by the many other Christians they met on their fishing expedition. One of those Christians is a car guard (parking attendant) in downtown Knysna who considers his job to be his 'ministry'. So excited to have another fishing tool he used Nathan's prayer card and the first fish that came his was was caught for the Lord!

"for 'Everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord will be saved.' How then can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, 'How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news.'" Romans 10:13-15
