| #ENDBiblePovertyNow - Bibles for Pastors in Uvira Congo - YWAM Uvira DRC |
Hi, from Potchefstroom in South-Africa. We are now for the first time under 2000
Corona cases for 3 days and life is starting to resume more like normal as we
are entering spring and summer. We had to adapt suddenly and quickly but we
thank God that He led us through it all.
Changes
with the new season
Just before the lockdown we were
going to start with 12 DTS students but 12 days before we started we went into
a heavy lockdown and we couldn’t even get out of our house. In this time we
developed a Online prophetic school. We have 40 students and 10 staff
participating in this school and we are very excited about the internet
possibilities that are opening up. We have new dynamics but the prophetic
school is bearing very good fruit so far. We have students from SA, Zimbabwe,
Malawi, Zambia, Rwanda, Togo and Switzerland. This school is also registered on
YWAM international’s University of the Nations Extensions studies. One student
already suggested that we translate the materials in French – what
possibilities that will bring for African countries!!
We
focus on a good foundation of Grace and then we teach about the different
gifts, the Holy Spirit and how to move in the gift of prophecy. For many
students the Holy Spirit is like a big treasure that they discover and their
life is forever changed for the good after that. We plan to run 3 Prophetic
schools next year as well and we are very blessed with this new powerful
internet school..
The next school will start in February – please pray for this school, students and materials for our African students. If you want to donate that more students can get their Prophetic school textbooks, please contact us!
Moving
ahead with TPMSA
The
counseling movement we are part of is also busy realigning for the next season.
Zoom makes it possible to run networks far more effectively and a lot cheaper.
We have a session on Saturday and we can have many people on the zoom meeting and
we can now fellowship far more effectively.
>>Please
pray for this Prayer counseling movement in South Africa where we have a big
role to play – and TPM is such a wonderful tool where people hear from Jesus
for their lies and pains.
Prayer
and repentance time for Ywam international
Ywam
international had a month of prayer and repentance and the 1 st of October we
are going to be part of the international feedback and there is going to be
thousands of people on the meeting. We are looking forward to that. As part of
this month we attended different zoom meetings.

this new season. WATCH
Vusi
finished with bible school
Vusi
did (DBS) bible school via Zoom hosted by YWAM Durban- he is our school leader
and being trained for the new base we are looking forward that he comes back
end of the month. Our activities as a base in the town will then resume. We
have been asked to be part of a revival move in Ikageng (African township) so we
will discuss what God wants to do in the next few months with pastors.
We
will plan and pray with Vusi to see and hear from the Holy Spirit where we are
going next as a base. Please pray for Vusi in this new season.
Distributing
bibles in DRC – Operation Refugee Africa
Praise
God for money for Bibles we got from Switzerland. We are now able to distribute
bibles into Kolwezi (previous genocide took place there) and into Uvira where a
lot of the bibles went into the mountains where there is militias operating. We
pray that God will use these bibles to bring peace and change to those areas. We are part of YWAM’s END BIBLE POVERTY NOW
campaign – wanting to reach the unreached with Bibles. YWAM is also busy with
translation if the Bible languages where the Bible is not yet in their home
language – they start with an oral translation of the Jesus Film. >>Kallis from DRC saying thank you in

Our
twins are writing exams and we are very happy that they are busy overcoming in
this interesting and difficult matric year. They are nearly finished and will
then start with their final exams. They will finish only in the middle of
December and they are looking forward to be finished with school. Please pray
for them and also for their funds for next year as both of them plan to study
at North West University 2021.
