South Africa (MNN) — A massive youth conference in South Africa became the launch point for a powerful Scripture outreach, thanks to World Missionary Press (WMP) and its local partners.

Earlier this month, over 7,000 young people from across the region gathered at KwaSizabantu Mission for a week of worship, teaching, and spiritual renewal.

One speaker at the KSB youth conference, Dr. Peter Hammond with Livingstone Fellowship, brought more than a message. He brought Gospel booklets printed by WMP.

Helen Williams with WMP says, “The service was overflowing, and they passed out two tons of World Missionary Press Gospel booklets in Zulu to this mission in time for the youth conference!”

The truth of Scripture is especially needed in South Africa. Although Christianity as a religious label is increasing across the country, mainline denominations are decreasing. More and more South African youth are drawn to heretical offshoots of Christianity, prosperity gospel, and cults.

By reading and knowing God’s Word, young people can better discern false teachings and follow Jesus in wisdom and truth!

Williams says, “It’s encouraging! I can just see this guy in South Africa handing out two tons – 4,000 pounds – of booklets, and all these young, eager Christian South Africans from the region ready to go out with their Zulu booklets.

“Only the Lord can do all of this – lay out this plan of distribution, and us taking the money that is sent to us and the prayers that are given for us. We just print [the booklets] and then we send them, and the whole plan just amazes me.”

WMP works with trusted ministry partners like Dr. Hammond to get Gospel material to the ends of the earth.

“This is what our people in various countries do. They don’t just sit on it. They don’t just wait for someone to call. They find these opportunities, and they get the material out into the hands of people.”

From the rural mission base in KwaZulu-Natal, the ripple effect of this youth outreach is just beginning. The hope is that each booklet given out will find its way into a home, a school, or a village – and a heart.

Pray for conference attendees to share their faith boldly, using WMP Gospel booklets as a resource! As South Africans encounter Scripture, may they be drawn to the Lord’s truth and lovingkindness.
