Perhaps the most powerful parts of Michael Cassidy's book were the stories of forgiveness and reconciliation, such as his friend Festo's bold cry "I love Idi Amin!" even after Amin had just killed one of their friends.

Are we able to forgive? With Christ, the answer is "yes we are".

Michael Cassidy and the African Enterprise team did a great deal of good work during a tumultuous time in South Africa's history. Without their prayers, we would perhaps have faced much more violence and bloodshed during the 90s. Pray for peace in our land! God will surely honour our prayers, as he did theirs.

Michael Cassidy learned that even if he was facing difficulties, God promised to help him through. What difficulties might be holding you back today? Launch out on God in faith, because if he trusted you with the possession of difficulties, he will walk with you as you deal with them.

As he began an evangelistic organisation called African Enterprise, Michael Cassidy decided to give his all - without fearing mistakes. He knew that God would complete His will, even through Michael's own flaws. Are you paralyzed by mistakes today? Move forward in faith!

African Enterprise did many mission trips to local schools in South Africa in the 60s and 70s, causing many young people to put their faith in Christ. Where is God calling YOU to share the good news? Who knows who might find God if you take the time to share His love.

Again and again in his life, Michael Cassidy discovered that God DOES answer prayer. Will you go to Him in prayer today?

Michael Cassidy's friend Terren felt that he was too far gone for God to love or save. What a tragedy! Nobody is too far from the saving love of our God.

Michael Cassidy spent a lot of his life knowing about Jesus, without ever committing to him fully. When he finally surrendered to Jesus completely, great things happened! Have you fully given your life to Jesus?

Even with his great success in ministry, Michael Cassidy knew that he was only a "weak vessel", and that God had achieved great things in spite of him, not because of him. What a humble outlook, which all Christians should have.

Michael Cassidy "claimed" Africa for Christ, and God did great things through him! What do you need to to "claim" for Christ today?
