At our Synod in 1999 the vision for the future was presented.  What we committed to do, and in fact are doing, has been summarised under six words - all beginning with the letter "E".  These have become known among us as "The Six E's".  All our churches are committed to them. They are as follows:

Exaltation - Evangelism - Edification - Equipping - Employing - Exporting

In addition, the CESA leadership seeks to be involved in national church debates and forums so that our evangelical commitment to the Bible may make a contribution to the problems facing South African society.

We owe a great debt of thanks to the many Christians in the diocese of Sydney who, over the years, have stood by us and encouraged us.  We are also greatly indebted to our friends in London, especially the Rev Dick Lucas and those associated with the Proclamation Trust, for the friendship and encouragement extended to us.  These friends have made it easier for us to do our work and to witness for the Gospel in South Africa more efficiently.

We sincerely seek the prayers of God's people everywhere for Southern Africa and its enormous problems. Many of you who read this may not live in South Africa, but we are here - it is our home and our place of service for the Lord Jesus Christ.  

Pray that God will extend His Kingdom and that we may have a role to play in that great work.
