A_JOURNEY_THRU_MEDIA_HIGHWAY

Hello Friends,

I have not been able to update my blog since I arrived Media Village. Reason is, there is much more academics and practical engagements than I thought. But I decided to create time and let you know that I am doing well and making progress. The Video I uploaded on this blog, is to give you a glimpse of what I have been learning up to date.

I hope you enjoy the video and I am looking
forward to hear from you and ask me any questions too. Also, by the end of September, I will put together, all of the Short-Film projects on YOUTUBE so that you can view and see what I have learned since my arrival here.

Thanks and have a lovely day

ANOTHER LEVEL: MEDIA VILLAGE IS POSSIBLE

Hello friends, just a short notice: God provided more than 50% for my studies at Media Village on Thursday Afternoon. Thank you all for praying along and for those who have agreed to support me and who supported me too. May the good Lord continually load you with benefit. I also got the balance I needed to pay up the debt for my last course of studies.

I would be leaving for Media Village ( http://mediavillage.info/schools ) on the 6th of July, 2011. I am very much excited to resume studies again. My dream to complete my degree programme under YWAM University of the Nation( www.uofn.edu ) is gradually coming to pass. Thanks be to God!!!

Please, pray for me as I trust God for the remaining balance of my tuition and extra cash I will need for accomodation and class room assignments/project trips during my time of studies.

I am hungry to know God more and more, like never before. Please pray that He reveals Himself to me each moment I seek Him.

Thank you once again, for everything and for being there.

Lastly, feel free to contact me for specific findings on my mission and how you can support me financially.

I AM STILL SOARING !!!

Hello Friends, family, and partners in this journey called life! I miss you all and its been a while now since I last updated my blog. Honestly, its been challenging mentally, to put my thoughts together in one piece. Looking at the demands of the course I am currently studying. But , I am grateful to God for granting me the grace to soar on and still be able to spread the fragrance of His love each day.

I am now in YWAM Worcester, Capetown, doing my 2nd core-course (http://ywamworcester.com/his.htm) which will end on the 24th of June 2011. Then, I will be getting reading to resume lectures in Media Village, Durbanville, Capetown on the 28th of  June for my 2 major courses -School of Video Production Part 1 & 2 (http://mediavillage.info/schools). I have until the 2nd week in December this year to complete my studies in S.A. I shall communicate to you what I will be doing after that and where I will be going for my internship. Only until then.

I am currently doing a reasearch on : OVERCOMING ALCOHOL ADDICTIONS. I intend turning it into a classroom based study book at some point and probably a documentary film for Mass-Media :)

Please, pray for me as I need divine wisdom for all my research work and resources needed. I need provisions for my SVP 1 & 2 tution fees and I need strength in my body, spirit, & mind to push on.

There is nothing left to say now, other than a Big Thank you for all your time,care and support in every capacity. I love you all and I long to see you succeed and Accomplish your God given destiny. AMen.

Lastly, feel free to contact me for specific findings on my mission and how you can support me too.

SOARING THE NEW HEIGHTS

Hello everyone of my friends and constant prayer and financial supporters.I am Youth With A Mission on A Mission to Know God and Make Him Known in every way, and every where possible, until His Kingdom come and His living Word fills the whole earth as waters covers the seas, amen!

 Finally, I was able to give you an update since my last report earlier this year. My time of fasting was life changing and ever since the end of the fast, God has left me amazed each passing day. Countless doors of discipling others kept opening and opening and opening. I was so overwhelmed that I didn't know how to put up an update since then until now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

God, I give you praise for such a time as this and for the harvest you have used me to glean into your Kingdom, for your glory. I thank you for each person you have used to labour along side me and for each life you are now transforming by your Holy Power! I reverence you Mighty God and I ask that all honour and glory be ascribed unto you, forever, and ever, and ever. Amen!

For the past 8weeks, I have been involved in leading small Bible study groups for moms who are above 30 years old. I have been engaged with a systematic discipling of young ladies who are pregnant or have babies before marriage and single young ladies who are passionate about living out God's purposes for their lives. I have also been partnering with different ministries and teams of young people who are desperate to see Jesus lifted High in every community and age group of this nation. Please, give God the praise again for doing all this through me and enabling me to be obedient to His guidance each day.

Right now, I am getting ready to leave for Port-Shepstone for a 10days visit to a mission project in one of the urban areas there. While visiting, I will be speaking into the lives of young people and leaders as Holy Spirit grants me enablement to do so. After that, I will be visiting one of my

disciples in Durban and one of spiritual leaders too. Then I will be following up some of the young people we have ministered to in Kimberley during a mission trip there as a team in July 2010 .

Finally, I will head back to Worcester to resume my studies for 2011 at the YWAM Worcester base: http://ywamworcester.org.za/his.htm I will give you further updates during my time of studies (April 3^rd to June 15^th, 2011 ).

As always, I would love to maintain my one page commitment of update to you; my fellow co-labourers in God's vineyard here in South Africa.

Please, pray for : more open doors, more revival, and more responses to the Gospel of God's kingdom. Thank you!

And if you are very much interested to support me financially, Please do let me know via email: samzeal@gmail.com because I would love to give you a break down of how your money will be invested and give the banking details as well. More importantly, I love to build a personal and interactive relationship with each one on my supporting team.

Thank you for reading thus far and for choosing to support me in every loving way possible. I urge you to stay connected to the God of peace, righteousness, and Joy in His Holy Spirit. Amen. And always remember that I value you as a potent part of what God is doing here in South Africa in me and through me for His Glory.

With Much love, from me :)))))))))))))))))))

NEW YEAR, NEW HEIGHTS.

I greet you my precious and faithful prayer and financial pillars. I appreciate you all and I'd like to remind you that God is always in control and will keep us all from falling even when the earth beneath us sinks and the mountains around us come crashing down. You are more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ whom we believe in and rely on. Amen!!!

This is my first update for the year. And I'd like to start by saying; I have heard many people said; God instructed them to fast for certain number of days in the beginning or middle or end of a year. But not me. And that does not make me feel indifferent because I like food and I eat it with passion :) off course, it doesn't mean I don't fast at all... I only fast when I think its necessary for me , or when I know it would only take fasting to get to see God move through me and do wonders while I minister His Living Word to others. Also, I fast sometimes when the Holy Spirit leads me to do so but not for a lengthy period of days. No way!!!

But then, on the Christmas Day of 2010, God spoke to me while I was listening to brother Jentezen Franklin on TBN channel. Part of what God said to me was: “Sam, I want you to fast for 21 days too. Just as I have instructed Jentezen Franklin and the people he is shepherding, to fast.” Wow! honestly, it wasn't cool by me but then God reminded me that It's part of the new heights for the new year He gave me new wings for. Still, I was wondering how on earth am to fast for that long, seeing that I have always skipped cooperate fasting periods that are longer than 5 or sometimes 7days. That really got to me.

Suddenly, on the 4^th of January, my whole being started craving for the upcoming fast :) Praise Jesus! Thank you Holy Spirit for the excitement and joy and expectations I have for the fasting which will begin on the 9^th of January 2011. The Holy Spirit is the reason why I am so fired up to embark on this new journey. I now have the boldness and courage like never before to run with God and hear Him, and worship Him and see Him do so much in me , for me, for others, and through me for His glory! Amen!

Dear friends, please, do let me know what specifically I can agree with you in prayer, during this fasting period. Send me an email to : samzeal@gmail.com or send me a text message to +27768291136. Our God is King of all the earth and KING over all the kings and rulers in the universe.

One last thing:) I am so excited about my upcoming Studies for the month of April-June and June-December. If you'd like to support me financially with any amount for any of the courses I will be studying, please do not hesitate to send me an email or sms or give me a phone call. I would love to give you details of both the study modules, banking information and answer any other questions you may want to ask me. And if this is your first time on my blog, please checkout my previous posts to understand my journey:) Thanks to those of you who have pledged to support me already.

Like always, I would maintain my one page blog commitment so that you can come back and read again, and again. Thanks for reading thus far. May the Joy of The Most High God, continually be your strength and rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice. I love you all and you are a part of God's workmanship in my life and the nations and people you will never get to meet, just because you are praying for me and supporting me in every way you can!

SHALOM!!!
