Dear Friends
We are so thankful for many prayers answered and many hearts changed and so many people who could hear the transforming voice of Jesus this year.
PRAISE REPORT 2019
© Thankful for two DTS ‘s that we could run and we could see the growth in students and staff. We had 20 people in our house for 6 months of this year – we really needed a lot of Grace from God to disciple these wonderful people full of potential and also their own problems and challenges!
© We are so thankful for our wonderful staff that are faithful and hardworking and love to serve the Lord!
© Our children did so well on the University and in school, that with all the challenges a Missions house brings! They also grew in wisdom, faith and they are really a blessing and joy to us.
© Josua turned 16 this weekend and Andrea is 21 very soon . Elandri’s choir won was third in the country in a TV choir Competition and Jonathan won the second prize at a IT programming competition – what a blessing to see them grow – please pray for our children, their safety and God’s guidance for each one.
© We are so thankful for growth in Operation Refugee Africa – all glory to God and thanks to our wonderful team of volunteers. see newsletter (LINK).
© We attended the YWAM Leadership meeting outside Pretoria for a week and we were very blessed by the teachings of Jim Stier who pioneered YWAM in Brazil, he urged us to go back to focusing in the KINGDOM OF GOD and not earthly things. He shared testimonies of teams serving the Lord in the Amazon, of one team who did not have food for 10 days ! At that meeting we could also send out new bases in our area and we are proud to be part of a growing community of missionaries who really loves the nations!
© We can praise the Lord for a lot of challenges and difficulties we faced personally this year– that made us grow in faith – Faith is anyway more important than gold!
© We thank the Lord for our friend Nicolas from France who raised funds for the Orphanage and they are now in the process of building new rooms at the Orphanage – our DTS also helped with the building’s foundations.
© Our previous DTS student came to visit from the UK – what a privilege to see young people grow! She will go back to the DTS outreach destination where they served in Mozambique, for a few weeks, to work with women in the village!
PRAYER POINTS
Ø We are excited for DTS outreach to mainly Ikageng and also a small team to Zimbabwe and Malawi.

Ø Please pray also for our family’s finances – thank the Lord for providing everything for our children, but let’s keep on praying for that.
We are volunteers
Remember that we are volunteers of YWAM and do not get a salary - we therefore have to raise funds from friends who partner with us in the mission. Please consider to support us monthly to help us to grow and reach more people for Christ. Prayerfully consider which amount to give per month and feel free to let us know if you want to give to something specific.
