Mission South Africa 2023
On my recent trip to South Africa I spent three weeks in Johhanessburg and we traveled often to the place where we have the feeding at the Redemption Centre Church in Ennerdale south of Johannesburg, and on my first day it was an intense service we had two feedingm in two different place and we fed almost three hundred people. A before I left New Zealand they send me a report that the fed two thousand people.
2016 at the end of March to the beginning of April Pastor Mata was blessed with a chance to visit South Africa, there was a some thoughts put out for him to visit South Africa mainly because some of the people in our church are from South Africa. But there was not even an arrangement been done for him to go, till a couple turned up at the door of his house with the funds to pay for the trip.
Few months before that, Pastor Mata attended a conference in Auckland and the speaker of the conference before she preach that night she called Pastor Mata to stand up and said that God is going to send him to Africa.
That became a confirmation that God is going to send him to Africa but to where in Africa was not known, till that couple turned up with the funds to pay for the trip to South Africa.
The date of travel hasn't been decided yet, the couple who brought the funds the wife has a brother that is a senior Pastor of Redemption Center International in Ennerdale, Johannesburg (SA). The arrangement was for Pastor Mata to attend their Easter Conference. Pastor Mata did not know that he was going to be the speaker of the conference till he got there.

Pastor Mata spoke to the youth on Thursday and Friday the Conference started, more thirty people gave their hearts to the Lord which is really good, makes the trip more enjoyable when we see things happen. One soul coming back to Christ the whole heaven rejoice.
Feeding Program
I was really amazed to see how people who live in the squatters are some of the happiest people Pastor Mata happened to meet in South Africa. The only thing that has become a disadvantage to a lot of people there is the lack of chance for people to more in life. Redemption Center International Church managed to provide meal for the people in Ennerdale living in the squatters there. Peria Church just pledged to work in partnership with them in order to provide extra meals for them, so we as a church are sending in our financial support each month for that.
