In September we started the church LANDSHAKERS!!! We had NO idea what expect, other than that God would be there! :D how many others would show up was hard to tell. However, on the first day we had about 25 on the "adult" side and at least the double on the children's side.
Then it went down... One Sunday we had 4 kids in the adult service. But then we started pushing more into prayer.. :) Gues what happened?! God, yes God, started bringing more people to church, young and older... :) Now we're back to 30-ish!
This is the kid's side. We use powerpoint presentations, and since we don't have a band or any instruments, we use worship dvds from Hillsong! It works wonderfully!!! Mmm...
One Sunday it was my turn to preach!
(Why is it underlining my text???)
My topic was Jesus and his Kingdom, and I was not as lost in it as the pic would give the impression of.. :D
I really, really enjoyed it, even though I had too much I wanted to say, as always... So the power point presentation worked only untill I went outside of my notes, and realised I didnt have time for all those slides...
But hey, I know it reached the hearts!
Here are some of my kids! :)
I call them my kids because they are!
From the left:
Praiswell, the name fits him perfectly! He is one of my heros, and God is really working in him!
Wandy, a great girl that have come out of the miry clay and have had her feet put on the rock! :))
Melusi, a shy guy, but deep and also very funny! :D He asks really good questions at the Biblestudy group!
Sabelo, a guy who is growing up to be a strong, but humble, leader. Whatever he does is quality!
Last Sunday we had a "baby shower" at church! One of our young ladies is pregnant, and can have her baby any time now. She is not working and does nothave a lot, som since we are brothers and sisters, Landshakers gave her a HUGE "basket" of baby stuff! She was, needless to say, VERY happy! Which is also her name - Happy! :))
For those of oyu that pray to our mighty God, please remember Landshakers, the kids there and the leaders! Thanks a million!

Fantastisk!!
Wow, i'm very impressed by the work this church have done to some of the members of the community, i have had a lot about Landshakers but never really had a chance to visit as i'm working during the week days and my week ends are very busy(with church commitments), Pastor Nick, you're blessed Man of God, the bible says 'blessed is the person that takes care of my flock', God will continue to bless you beyond measure, Waterloo Community will never be the same, Big-ups!!!
Yours in Christ.
Patience.
