EVANGELISM:
Other than singing, the following are the other main ministries MSS is involved in:
1. Hospital Ministry: every Tuesday at lunch time, +/- 30 nurses from Louis Pasteur Private Hospital congregate to fellowship and sharing. From this activity, +/- 20 have been enrolled into VOP Bible School
2. Prison Ministry: every alternate Friday, we meet and minister to a group 300 - 400 Prison Officers at Pretoria Central Prison. Whereas every Saturday, there's a group of about 50 inmates that we minister to. Recently, on the 29th August 2009, we had VOP Graduations and 40 graduated, receiving their VOP Certificates. On the 17 October 2009, about 30 have submitted for Baptism.
3. Public Evangelism: for the past two years, MSS has committed to conduct and sponsor at least one Public Evangelistic Campaign. TOC has been of great assistance and support both financially and otherwise. Thanks to the President Pastor Setsiba and PM Director, Bishop Jerry Nemaranje. From these efforts, a church in Wintervelt has been established and a branch of about 150 members in Extension 5, Soshanguve. God be praised for these!
4. Vacation Bible School- VBS: during July vacation, MSS by God's help and Grace was able to successfully conduct Vacation Bible School in Extension 5, Sosha. 110 students from the community participated in the programmes. Thanks to teachers who volunteered to assist during these effeorts.
We wish to extend our love, honour and praise to the Almighty God for the strength and courage to achieve all these.
We therefore solicit prayers of the saints. God Bless you! Itumeleng Maboye, Chaplain MSS
