DTS on outreach
|
We have a group of 7 going through Botswana, Zambia and Malawi
for the next two months. We have 3 staff and 4 students in the group and they
are a group of very good leaders. We are looking forward to a lot of evangelism
fruit in the months to come. They did outreach last week in Gaborone where they
are joining a group of 9 from the States.
Currently they are in Ottosdal and working with the Christian school and
their Youth. We are thankful for Johannes Wessels who are hosting them! Next on
their program is Zambia – please pray for travel mercies and also a blessed
time of ministry there
We also have a group
of 4 doing outreach on the VUT campus where the YWAM base of the Vaal is growing
in their influence in the campus. We trained students from the Congo, Zimbabwe
and Zambia. All three of them are system engineers. Please pray with us for
this campus and the advancement of the kingdom of God in this campus.
Steven
is back!
|
After 8 months of struggling to get his visa Stephen
eventually got his visa to SA. He is now applying for a three year volunteer
visa to staff on a longer term with the Potch base. We are praying with him and
he is a great blessing to have on the base. He has been in Congo where he
started a children’s ministry and also worked with YWAM in Malawi. Please pray
with Steven for his time in ministry with the Potch base.
Campus
ministry
We have three lunch-bible studies
on the University campus and a counselling ministry running. This year we
pioneered a ministry on the campus that is a more permanent presence on the
campus. We could do this because Job returned from Muizenberg from his DTS and
started a ministry on the campus. We also have Elsa that is working with us for this
year. Because we have the workers partnering with us we could pioneer this
campus ministry with students leading it themselves! Please pray with us as
this ministry can really evolve in something special for the students. Our
calling is to disciple and cultivate a lifestyle of missions among the
students. Please pray for favour with the churches as well as we have grown
with favour over the last years.
3 new
TPM courses
We have started with TPM courses
in Klerksdorp, Potch and we are also going through to Pretoria to start a
course. This is a great way to connect with the community and to help those who
urgently need the gospel. We currently have 28 in our courses. Pray with us for
people growing in the understanding and the experiencing of the Presence of
God.
Our Family: 2 Kids out of school!
