What if a simple newspaper left on a kitchen table, found in a dustbin, or picked up in a public restroom could completely transform a life?
In this episode of the Dia-Logos Podcast, host Brad Kirsten sits down with Cobus and Ilze Beukes, who lead the distribution, promotion, and management of Challenge Good News Paper in Southern Africa. Starting in Perth, Australia, Challenge has grown into a powerful, non-offensive "24-hour evangelist", a non-denominated gospel message dressed as a newspaper.
In this episode, Cobus and Ilze discuss:
✅ Unstoppable Reach: How Challenge reaches communities, 140 correctional facilities, military bases, and rural areas across South Africa, Botswana, Kenya, Malawi, Zimbabwe, and 5 other nations.
✅ Incredible Testimonies: Heartwarming first-hand stories of lives turned around—including a drug-addicted son reading a story on a kitchen table and a pastor's brother finding hope in a Swaziland restroom.
✅ Community Transformation: How distributing the newspaper in struggling communities has revived churches, Sunday schools, and local morale.
✅ Multiple Languages & Formats: Why incorporating Sotho, Zulu, Xhosa, Shona, and Afrikaans makes the gospel accessible to everyone.
✅ How to Get Involved: How local churches, outreach projects, and individuals can get physical or digital copies to share in their own communities.
Tune in to discover how everyday believers are taking hands to bring hope and the life-changing power of Jesus to Southern Africa!
