As I was tightening the last screw on the lock I just put into the door I saw “Ouma Nhokoteni” in the corner of my eye sitting on a chair in her kitchen. She was talking to two ladies I have never seen before in Red Hill.
Moments earlier she invited these two strangers into her new home and made them some fresh tea. Interested in what was going to happen next, I continued to fiddle with the lock.
Ouma disappeared for a moment and came back from the bedroom with her Bible and reading glasses. For the next few minutes she read and shared scripture with them… 
Watching her witnessing to those ladies excited me so much that I just stood there in thankfulness.
The gratefulness, joy and love she had towards God just built up inside her to a point where she could no longer contain it and had to share it with some one.
… My opinion has changed…
I believe that “planting a church” can no longer only be defined in the physical gathering of 3-4 people around God’s Word, but that church planting starts with influencing “one” persons’ life in such a way that they can no longer keep silent about their new found hope in Christ.
Lets continue to keep Red Hill and its people in our prayers.
Cheerio
Stefan
