July 2025: From Durban with Love

"Simple obedience isn't always simply done, but you simply got to do it." -Thaddaeus Alexander

July has been an amazing month, so many things have happened. I was able to celebrate the Fourth of July with a good ole fashion American barbecue. But the biggest thing that happened this month was flood week. What is flood week? Flood week is when we, as a base,

go out and flood the streets and preach the gospel. The idea is to flood the streets with the Holy Spirit. This Flood week took place in Durban, South Africa. As a base, we gathered over 4000 people, ministered one on one to over 800 people, we had over 700 first-time salvations and over 240 recommitments to Christ, and over 50 healings! God moved mightily through the streets of Durban. We were able to minister in hospitals, schools, beach fronts, and just on the streets.

The lord spoke to me so much during that week, I got lots of confirmation on me being in South Africa, that the Lord has put wisdom in me, and other things like that. I even had an opportunity to preach off a motorcycle, which was not on my 2025 bingo card. Everything that we did seemed to be blessed by God, and I believe it was. This flood week was building up to the event called “the send.” I was looking forward to it. My headspace was wow, God has done so much this week, I can even imagine what the send will be like. But on the morning of the send Saturday the 26th, I saw a message saying that I was on the children’s ministry team. With full sincerity, I did not want to do it. I was incredibly disappointed, while watching these kids, I prayed and I asked the Lord, Why? Why am I watching these kids? I want to be at the end, and I just clearly heard him say, “ Why do I need to send you if you have already been sent?” It was a real humbling moment for me, but I thank God for the opportunity. He taught me how children are a blessing, even if they aren’t yours.

Also, this month me my team and I are preparing to go to Kenya to speak and, in part, run a teacher training conference with help from Educating for Life’s (EFL) global team and the Anglican Church of Kenya.

Overall this month has been wonderful and I so excited to see what’s going to happen in the future, thank you so much for reading if you want to see more pictures more often please follow my instagram @thaddaeus.1 and if you are interested in partnering with me financially on my website you can find my link to my equipment page which allows you to give in a tax deductible way.
