The atmosphere of celebration surrounding the preparation for the World Cup in South Africa enhanced the excitement of the OM team to host the Ultimate Goal Challenge, an outreach to share the good news of Christ with locals, and visiting athletes and tourists. On Monday, 7 June, participants of all ages arrived in Magaliesburg eager to see God at work in the coming weeks. Some travelled from Pretoria, while others came from as far as Singapore and Alaska, USA.

Opening Night took the participants on a virtual journey around South Africa, with a dynamic blend of dances, sketches, songs, language and cultural trivia. Pranesh, Director of OM South Africa, introduced the theme for the outreach—One Team & One Goal—saying “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.

“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 participant. Praise God for this outreach currently happening in South Africa. Pray for opportunities for the participants to share God’s love with many, especially with those visiting from other nations.
