Common Ground Constantiaberg, Cape Town

AdvancePrayer pack

Brief

Don and Heidi Miller, along with an excellent eldership team, give leadership to Common Ground, Constantiaberg. Since the beginning they have been meeting in a tent structure next to a beautiful vineyard, but eighteen months ago were given notice to find a new venue.
They thought that they had found a perfect solution to build a permanent structure at a local high school, but discovered a land use problem that has halted this project. The church now has to move into the school’s existing facilities on 1 September while a team work with the school and council to resolve the issue.

Prayer points

  • That through this unsettling process they would be able to keep maturing as the local church body for God’s glory;
  • That the move on 1 September will go well and that no one family would be lose or left behind. A transition can be confusing for the youngest amongst them so please pray for abundant grace in this process.
  • For the success of the temporary departure – it is not guaranteed and can take over a year or as little as 4 months depending on the local government and residents. In the process they believe God is opening the possibility of a long term/permanent base for them in their community.
