Mission Georgia – Johan is all in for Mission Georgia. He sees the desperate need for the Lord in his Country of Georgia. He starts out with a broad discussion of his involvement with Mission Georgia.
“My name is Johan Labuschagne married to Marina and we live in the Republic of Georgia. We registered the healing rooms in Georgia known as “The Fathers House” in April 2010. The Fathers House is open 2 days a week, and the people come from as far as 300km. We also use the internet through Skype & Face book to minister internationally to people in Italy, USA, Ireland, Turkey, Russia, South Africa and in Georgia. God continues to do miracles at the Healing Rooms & via internet; salvations, deliverance, counselling & healing’s.”
Mission Georgia needs encouragement and support. Labuschagne continues about how they support Mission Georgia.
“By invitation we come alongside village pastors to encourage them and assist within the village churches & with rural outreaches. We bring a fresh Word of God, evangelise, and pray for the sick, hand out reading spectacles, 2nd hand clothing & bibles in communities. Transport however poses a bit of a problem at times, as public transport is not always available to the remote places.”
Many children are getting reached through Mission Georgia.
“The majority of the street children we minister to are of Kurdish background and Muslim in their faith. They are often viewed as a nuisance to those who walk the streets because of their aggressive persistence in begging for money. Here we feed them, teach bible lessons, teach them to read & write, craft lessons & play games/sports with them.”
Large amounts of youth are converting because of Mission Georgia.
“We work in an Armenian village in Georgia with a preschool and youth and had a very successful youth camp where 40 children gave their heart to the Lord. The camp was held during September holidays for one week.”
Other youth ministries are being used through Mission Georgia.
“We work closely with other ministries including- Teen Challenge, Post Abortion, various interdenominational churches and YWAM. They refer people to us for counselling, healing, prayer & deliverance.”
Johan Labuschagne gave his life to the Lord for Mission Georgia.
“I gave my heart to the Lord when I was 16 years old during a youth camp. I spend most of my life in the military (27 years) half of it in operational service where all the questions started. My wife passed away and there were more questions. In April 2007 I got married to a Georgian lady and in September 2007 we returned to South Africa & became radically saved in May 2008 at a “Catch the Fire” convention held in Durbanville South Africa. The first 3 days I felt there must be more and was asking the Lord to touch and use me, well He did touch me and it felt like a heart attack when I open my eyes I was on the floor and a lot of people around me. This all happened during a worship session and my life and family changed.”
Johan has a strong Christian dream for Mission Georgia.
“Our Dream is to continue being a shining light for Jesus as on a hill, giving the Bread of Life to the hungry & bringing Living Water to the thirsty. Rising up New generation. Video clip about 4/14. The scholarship at CLI is a dream come true to equip me and better prepare me to teach the word. 2 Tim 2:15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. 1 Tim 3:2 Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach.”
Johan finishes by asking for prayer with Mission Georgia.
“My prayer requests are the following, That the Lord give us wisdom and favor with the church leaders to accept the 4/14 vision for children. That we wil have a 4 X 4 Vehicle for outreaches. A Better facility for street ministry as the house we use is not in good condition. Finally, support to have more youth camps in the villages (small towns) were we work in.”
Johan has completed the Christian Basics Certificate. He continues to pursue Mission Georgia and his education thanks to generous donors of Christian Leaders Institute.

Mission South Africa: Thembelihle believes in the cause for mission South Africa. She start by sharing about the tremendous need for mission South Africa.
“Greetings brethren in the wonderful name of our Lord and saviour Jesus christ Amen. My name Thembelihle Grasia Keele, I’m born in South Africa and also staying in South Africa. God has blessed this country because we do have a political stability. This does not mean that christians are immune from persecution and challenges.”
Thembelihle sees the desperate need for salvation in her country. She continues by sharing some specific challenges mission South Africa faces.
“The reason i’m saying this is because we live in the country were gays and lesbians marriage is legalized and abortion its is also legalized, these pose a serious thread to the christian community. These challenges makes us preachers of the gospel to continue Proclaiming the good news of salvation. There are also social challenges facing the country such as HIV and AIDS and many families are poverty stricken, our country lacks political will from the government in recommending abstinence as only reliable method from being infected rather than preaching CONDOMS as the solution. The issue of sex before marriage its very vital for young people and the principle of one husband one wife.
Mission South Africa needs people like Thembelihle. She shared some very real challenges in her country. She continues by sharing her testimony for mission South Africa.
“It was 1996 when I dedicated my life to Jesus, The scripture was read John 3:16 then i decided to offer my life to him. I did a very noble act I believed in my heart and confesses with my heart that Jesus Christ is the lord as Roman 10:9 says.”
Thembelihle shares her ministry dream for mission South Africa.
“I’m married to Reverend Thabo Jacob Keele, together we have established a church in Boipatong, by the name of HIGH PRAISE COVENANT that is where we serve God. My dream is to make other people disciples salvation was not limited to me and my family alone but to fulfill the great commandments as per Matthew 28:19-20. I also want to support my husband in his vision and calling for we are preaching on the open airs.”
A scholarship is of critical importance for Thembelihle to succeeded with mission South Africa.
“If i can be awarded this scholarship by CHRISTIAN LEADERS INSTITUTE, I will be glad because i know that spiritualy i’m going to gro through their lessons and I will also be able to transfere whatever knowledge I gained to my congrats. In advancing Theological Diloma with CLI then i know that I will gain a recognition amongst other ministers since currently i’m just preaching with no formal Theological qualifications due to non affordability of funs.”
Thembelihle closes by asking for prayer with mission South Africa.
My prayer request is that may the Lord touch people like you, those who have money to continue sponsoring CHRISTIAN LEADERS INSTITUTE through donation that will enable people like me to access this teachings free of charge. My prayer is that we aimed to reach 20000 souls by 2014 for Christ, and we are in need of a Tent we believe and trust that God will make a way. God bless you Amen.
Thembelihle has completed the Christian Basics Certificate. She continues to expand her education for Mission South Africa thanks to generous donors of Christian Leaders Institute.
