Dear friends of ACM:

I was recently asked to speak on Phil 4:16-23. Some things came to me very forcefully. I will share some of them with you.

• God used one church to meet Paul's needs and those of the ministry. (Paul was in prisons!) Individuals like Lydia, the jailor, Epaphroditus and some poor believers, to be sure were fully committed to stand by Paul and supply his needs.
• God saw their support as investment for eternity that would increase their credit. A fragrant aroma and a sacrifice that is well-pleasing to God.
• Paul expressed his gratitude to God and his total contentment. Note these phrases: ". . . received full payment and even more", "abundance", "amply supplied" (vs. 18) Amazing words from a poor old man in prison.
• God will supply ALL the needs of his supporters. And He will do so according to His GLORIOUS riches in CHRIST JESUS.

Ministry continues to go well in South Africa among kids and adults. The Lord is blessing the team in its ministry. Attendance and commitment to Christ have increased. Our limited resources have managed to pay one teacher's salary for the first eight months of this year. Our director in South Africa appreciates deeply our partnership in the ministry. We are thankful to the Lord for the faithful supporters of ACM in Canada. We are still praying and hoping to be able to take on a second teacher's support in the near future. It takes only $250 Canadian to pay a month's salary for one teacher. And that is not a high salary . . . in fact, it is below average. This may account for the turnover of staff earlier this year, but replacements were found quite speedily, and things have settled down.

We were encouraged by remarks from some recipients of our video, "From Sorrow to Salvation". We hope you enjoyed it and possibly shared it with friends and potential supporters of ACM. You are welcome to borrow a copy of the video and use it to promote ACM.

Please contact me if you have been out of the country for an extended period . I am stepping in now! Anyone out there who would like to volunteer two or three hours a month to do our books, please, get in touch with me.

Sincerely;
Ebe Sikakane
