Welcome
to Living Way's July newsletter. It has been a while since the last
one and there is so much to tell of how God has blessed Living
Way.
Update
on Living Way Programmes
The last few months have been busy and I will touch on just a few of
our activities:
+ Entrepreneur Training: Another group
of budding entrepreneurs attended the
entrepreneur training in April and May. The businesses ideas varied
from a cleaning business, to a fast food restaurant, to a fashion
magazine! It was a challenging time for the entrepreneurs as they
grappled with new concepts. We held another workshop with all our
graduates that focused on marketing one's business. This has proven to
be an area of need for most business owners in the area.
+ EQUIP training: In May we hosted John
Maxwell's international training arm: Equip. Focusing on empowering
local leaders to train and mentor those around them, this material is
perfect for the work we do. We had two sets of training: one for Living
Hope, Living Grace and Living Way staff and another set of training
with local pastors in the area. Subsequent to this training, all
participants have gone through Notebook 1 of 6 which will allow them to
start training those around them to tap their leadership potential.
+ Worker Readiness School: We are a few
steps away from running our pilot in the worker readiness school.
Sheralyn Cloete has been researching what businesses are looking for in
employees and what programmes are available to address
these needs. Watch this space as we pilot the course.

Day
of Prayer
We value the power of prayer and want to
create an opportunity for us to get together and seek His face and His
hand to be on Living Way. We are planning a day of prayer for Living
Way on 24 July. It
will start off with a group prayer meeting on the LW Campus. Following
that, we will be giving interested people specific verses
to pray over Living Way. This can be done once an hour, or all
together, depending on how your day looks. If you are interested in
being part of this day of prayer, please email Richard to find out more
information and get the prayer points.
Points
of Prayer
For God's guidance and wisdom as we seek training
partners.
For God's continued provision for running costs.
For His blessing in reaching people for Christ.
For people to join us in prayer.

opportunity;

Our Values
We believe that earning money is a means to an end and that seeking
God’s Kingdom and his righteousness is of eternal importance (Matt 6:33)
Therefore: We aim to
economically empower people to be godly stewards of what they
have been entrusted.
