Capricorn Project

AS THE MINISTRY EXPANDS
Clinton and Lydia are currently running four home church groups a week and praying for God’s provision for meals for those groups. So far lunch is always served to those attending. As more workers come in, more home groups will be able to begin.
There are now four different teen discipleship groups that meet weekly, with more youths waiting for volunteers and venues to hold more groups. The youth are hungry for God, His love, and change in their communities. The vision of these groups is to not only teach them the word of God, but also provide mentorship and to walk with these youth in their everyday lives.
A young adult Bible Study was started Wednesday nights by YWAMer Jason Sutliff, a School of Biblical Studies student at the base in Muizenberg. This is mostly for non-believers who want to know more about following God and also to encourage those who are already Christ-followers.
Capricorn residents Linda and Doudenai have volunteered a piece of property for the ministry, so every Monday night there is a prayer vigil on their property as we wait for funds and a vision to use the land. Anyone is welcome to come and pray for the community on actual community grounds, as we know there is power in prayer to push back the enemy from inside.
Several YWAMer’s have started a photography club for kids on Saturday mornings. They have supplied the kids with cameras through donors and are teaching them the basics of photography. About ten of Capricorn’s kids look forward to this class every week.
Several weekends as there are funds and volunteers, field-trips are run for the youth such as trips to the beach, “The Castle” in Cape Town, or to the homes of the mission workers for meals and a movie.
Clinton is planning to run a two-week kids summer camp for the youth in December. He plans to take about 30 youth to Plettenberg Bay where they will experience life outside of Capricorn and also get the chance to minister to others. There will be many fun activities planned, as staffed by volunteers. The kids will have the chance to share their spiritual gifts of music, spiritual dance, prayer and evangelism with the local community.
Clinton and Lydia’s desire is to serve the community of Capricorn as a pastoral couple, and are already available and using their time to serve families where needed. This involves counseling in crisis situations, home visits, going with families to assist in taking care of legal business, providing food when possible, etc.
