The news of Uitzicht SPAR’S bold witness to Jesus Christ follows a recent report in Gateway News of a move of God at the Levyvale SUPERSPAR in Uitenhage where most of the staff are participating in a Christian discipling programme and an in-store worship team is ministering in early morning prayer meetings. The store is also planning to host a week of carols in the store carpark leading up to Christmas.
