Go! Missions

Introduction
For years Keith McDonald was searching for something better than the life he was leading, a lifestyle of drunkenness, immoral behaviour and rebellion. He grew up undisciplined, left home in search of fame and fortune and landed up worse than before, until May 1985 when God started working in a supernatural way. The Almighty took drinking, smoking and swearing away from Keith, and started drawing his attention to Him. Keith became born again in August 1985. The Lord laid Zambia on Keith's heart and since then he has been in training for the call God has for him. Keith is available to give his testimony and there are tapes available on request.

For seven years Keith was a Selous Scout in the Rhodesian Army. After the Rhodesian war, he joined 5 Recce Commando where he was active for two years. In 1983 he came to the Eastern Cape, Jeffrey's Bay to farm. God touched his heart and he became a changed man.

Through salvation the desire was birthed within his heart to return to the seven nations, of which Zambia is one, where he had taken lives. He is now returning with the vision God has given him to minister life and hope into these desperately needy nations. Zambia being the springboard.

Keith and Elette are currently stationed at VICTORY CHRISTIAN CHURCH Jeffrey's Bay from where they will establish a Mission Base in Zambia. Keith felt the call of the Lord in 1985 and has since that time been preparing himself in Victory Christian Church and has served the body faithfully in various areas of ministry, to name a few:

  1. Cell leader.

  2. Running Soup Kitchens.
  3. Preaching in the Townships.
  4. Being part of the Intercessory Team.
  5. Traveling frequently with Senior Pastor.
  6. Practical services ie. building, weld and general maintenance.
  7. Completed a six month training period at Eagles Rest Mission Farm Shongweni, Natal.

Purpose of Go Missions

It is our purpose to establish a mission base in Zambia. We will work under the covering of Victory Christian Church. We trust that we will be a base for missionaries and mission groups of different churches, that people will be able to come for however long as necessary to serve, minister, help and be trained so that the family of God may be enlarged and His Kingdom be advanced.

We trust to establish a self sufficient Mission Base fifteen kilometres north - west of Livingstone that will serve the peole of Zambia and send servants out to the surrounding area and nations.

God has provided a large tract of land given to us by Chief Godfrey Mosoko-twane.

 
We are trusting to start the following projects, as soon as possible

  2. A standard Camping Terrain with two permanently erected tents.
  3. Four Lodges.
  4. An Arts and Crafts centre.
  5. Adequate Ablution blocks.

Farming enterprises will be initiated and used as a training centre for farmers in the area, as well as a means of financial income for the mission base.

The mission base will also have a church, a school, clinic, staff housing, training and arts and craft centre.

  2. To minister to peoples needs and to make disciples, and NOT to "Westernise" them.
  3. To help people discover their call and their gifting, and to reach their God given destinies.
  4. To affirm the people as a nation, loved and valued by God.

In Mark 4:13 Jesus says that the seed is the Word. It is of utmost importance that we realise that we need to go and sow seeds of life in other countries, so that in turn we can produce a harvest in our own country. We believe that God is sending us to Zambia to just that.

2 Corinthians 9:10 "Now may He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness."
