CAN YOU FEEL IT? IT IS HERE!

South Africa | OM International

It is here!The atmosphere of expectation and celebration brought in by the media, efforts to make the host cities ready on time, shops stocked with Bafana t-shirts and FIFA mascots, streets decorated with flags of participating nations – the whole country was preparing for months already towards the Big Day, when it all starts. And here we find ourselves, at the very doorstep of this historic event. We are just days away from the World Cup, and the Ultimate Goal Challenge has already started! 

The Opening Night on Monday took the participants gathered in Magaliesburg on a virtual journey around South Africa – it was a dynamic blend of dances, acting, songs, language and cultural trivia. One of the program's highlights was surely a heart-winning performance of a Diski Dance!

Pranesh Anandlal, Director of OM South Africa, introduced the theme for the next few weeks: One Team & One Goal. “The ultimate goal for our lives is to bring glory to God and win souls for eternity with God.”

The night ended with joyful and energetic worship time. “I feel it is so special to have that many people willing to serve God, all from different countries and walks of life” - shared one of the participants. Can you feel Him? He is here! - paraphrased Esther, one of the MC's. Now is the time to experience God at work, right where we are.
