Newsletter December 2019
Dear Friends
We praise God for an amazing 2019 - a lot happened!
Thank you for your prayers and support. These are some of the highlights.
February – Liberty DTS
We had a team of six DTS students in the beginning
of the year that was a breakthrough for us as it produced good leaders and
staff for the second DTS and beyond. This DTS gave us the momentum we wanted
to see in staff and ministry. They did outreach in Mozambique and Malawi. We
also had a TPM school and Prophetic school of about 30 people combined in the
first semester.
October
- All Nations for One Kingdom fundraising Event for Operation Refugee Africa
We saw an increase in the funds for Operation
Refugee this year and we could sponsor 5 refugees and buy land for the base in
Lilongwe near the refugee camp. The ALL Nations event was part of the
fundraising efforts and 300-400 people attended this truly intercultural and
interdenominational concert for the refugees.
November
- Nations to Nations
The Nations to Nations conference (at NW
University) was combined with our second DTS and we could clearly see the theme
of the second DTS was South Africa.
We got a word of “unity in diversity” for South
Africa. Later on when I was watching the rugby world cup in London the
commentator was shouting at the top of his voice: "It is amazing what
South Africa can achieve through unity in diversity!"
We met with the head of the North West University
and it paved a way for future cooperation. Through this event God gave us a
platform to give words and concepts from the Kingdom of God to all the participants
and students on campus and we had an effect in the marketplace / university .
August - Compassion and Justice DTS We had a strong team in the second DTS as well as a
good staff team from four people groups. We did outreach in Ikageng and are
busy establishing a second house for Ywam Potch. We have a leadership
developing from our work at the orphanage. We also had an investment in the
orphanage from France where an extra building was built. We thank and praise
God for the work of Nicolas Maurin in the orphanage. Our DTS outreach team did
great work in our African township Ikageng (see photos) Please pray with us as we are planning to do
our 2020 DTS in a house in Ikageng – this will be our second house-base. We
hope to see great indigenous leaders stand up from the work in Ikageng!
In the time
of the DTS I was also invited as one of the main speakers in London at Ywam 's
Think Tank for a research proposal next year August in Lilongwe. It went very
well and some great relationships where established internationally with quite
a few bases in Europe.

April
- Speaking in DRC & Burundi
It was the first time this year I could speak in
Congo in a DTS. It was a special experience and we wish the Kimbambazii family
all the best in DRC as God uses them powerfully.
I was also invited to speak at a few other DTS's
which were a great privilege.
We had to work through a house break-in, cars
breaking and some opposition but all-in-all we had a great year where we saw
the kingdom of God greatly expanding. We praise God for His favour and comfort
through this year.
We thank God
for each message and prayer and all the support we received! Please keep on
supporting us in prayer and encouragement in 2020.
Hope you
have a blessed December,
