The horror of so many millions of souls currently under the curse of
AIDS has been seen. The movie "Beat the Drum" was the catalyst for our
response. A multi-faceted approach was developed that continued with a
massive campaign to train young people in AIDS prevention, mobilizing
people, volunteers from Africa and the US to break up into teams to go
into high schools to train the learners in biblically-based AIDS
prevention under a brand new project called, Beat the Drum.

Why Somerset East?

In early 2008 George and Michele Mwanza took a team to Somerset East
for outreach. They spent three days prayer walking through the
community. Through this prayer walk God introduced them to many
influential leaders and opened their eyes to the need for change and
growth within this small community. George knew that the town was ready
for Beat the Drum it was just getting influential leaders on board. On
Friday May 23rd six leaders went to present Beat the Drum to different
representatives of schools, businesses, and churches. The response was
amazing. God was so evident in that room that day. They are ready for
Beat the Drum to happen tomorrow. God is telling us that it's time to
move in to Summerset East and open their eyes and hearts to the ways of
our Lord.
