2-5pm, Sunday 10 May 2015, Royal Showgrounds, Pietermaritzburg
BACKGROUND:
The "Pietermaritzburg for Jesus" campaign is organised by a non-denominational group of city church
leaders founded in support of the Healing Jesus campaign that was scheduled for 10 May 2015. That
campaign was to be funded and hosted by Evangelist Dag Heward Mills, an international healing
evangelist, conference speaker and author. In response to recent xenophobic activities in KZN, the
Ghanaian embassy in South Africa has unfortunately decided to put a stop to his visit. The group of local
church leaders unanimously decided to continue and has since launched the “Pietermaritzburg for
Jesus” campaign. Sunday’s programme will include worship, preaching by Pastor John van Niekerk from
City Harvest Church and prayer for those who hold office in our city.
GRACEGEN INVOLVEMENT
We believe this campaign is both timely and significant in fostering unity and peace within our
city and request your support for this very important event:
1. PRAYER
Please pray daily for the event, including on Sunday. We pray for salvations, communities and
individuals to be impacted by the gospel, pray for the city church leaders, spiritual breakthrough in
Pietermaritzburg, logistics and volunteer teams, sufficient funds to be raised, etc.
GRACEGEN PRAYER MEETING: WEDNESDAY 18:00, GraceGen Church, 24 Bromhead Road
CITY PRAYER MEETING: THURSDAY 7 MAY, 7pm at Breakthru Church, 43 Boom Street
2. ATTENDANCE
Please make a special effort to attend, and invite friends to go with you. The event is as much an
outreach to the unsaved as a statement of Christian unity in our city.
3. FINANCIAL SUPPORT
The campaign budget is (after generous discounts) in the order of R170 000. Current pledges will cover
a portion of that. Please pray for sufficient funds. GraceGen has given towards the event. Donations are
welcome: Pmb for Jesus current account 1103399748 Nedbank Midlands Mall 136125.
4. PRACTICAL SUPPORT
If you can help with any of the following, please let me know today (Tuesday) or tomorrow. I urgently
need more volunteers to sign up and have to submit names to co-coordinators by Wednesday:
* Parking attendants (not car guards) showing people where to park.
* Ushers doing crowd control - where to sit or stand, where to go during alter call, etc.
* Counsellors to pray with people responding to the gospel.
* We might need some transport help from GraceGen at 13:30 – let the office know if you can help.
