Hope for everyone !

 


Hi, hope you are doing very well, and you have hope amid whatever is happening in your life. When we know Jesus there is always a way out and always hope.

Schools finishing

We praise God for the online schools that are finishing at the end of April. The prophetic school, biblical worldview school and the transformation prayer school is finishing the end of April or early May. There is many people we got to know and walked a path with, there was many prophecies given and many TPM sessions that were done. In the biblical worldview we had many interesting discussions. We thank God for the schools that we can now run on a continual basis.

We are thankful for a lot of training, development and spiritual growth that we could disciple. These courses form the basis of new ministries, new confidence and breakthroughs in the student’s lives.

We could also train over 15 staff that helped with the courses, translated, did small groups, TPM sessions and marked homework.

New schools starting

We decided to change THE BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW SCHOOL’s title to EVANGELISING WORLDVIEWS. It is a more accurate description of the goal of the school. We start to run the school again 10th May. We are also developing THE BIBLICAL FOUNDATIONS School to help people that want to get to know the Bible more to go deeper into the Bible. This school gives a very good understanding of worldview and why people can look at the same reality with different glasses.

We are starting with the SCHOOL FOR REFUGEES AND REFUGEE WORKERS 3 June. This is a brand-new school that is developed to champion refugees and help them to become great leaders in their society. With the war in Ukraine there is now more than 5 million new refugees that is looking for a new life. We also have thousands of refugees in Africa. All these refugees that understand English can now do this new school!

Please consider to join our courses – see http://ywampotch.com

Josua in Amsterdam

Josua in Amsterdam

Josua has believed God to do DTS in Amsterdam, Netherlands and he made it! After many hours travelling he made it to the base in Amsterdam and he starts now with his 3rd week of DTS. He still needs about R25 000 for his outreach. He needs to continue in faith as he started to live by faith. They did the VOICE OF GOD and the NATURE AND CHARACTER OF GOD so far. We phone every Saturday, and he needs to start standing on his own two feet. Please keep on praying for Josua – here is a link for his latest newsletter and also photos of Amsterdam and his team.

Outreach to Swaziland

Next week, from the 5 May Wikus is going with a small team to Swaziland. It is a high-level outreach, and we need prayer for the outreach. We are also going to meet with the pastors from one of the biggest churches in Swaziland named Potter’s wheel together with an YWAM Swaziland leader. Most of our meetings will be with people that have a lot of authority in the country, and we are going to look if we can advance the kingdom of God in Swaziland.

Wikus needs about R4000 for his outreach, for transport. Please pray with us for the outreach and support if you can.

Doing sessions at a school

Currently Wikus is doing TPM sessions at a high school in the city of Promosa, close to Potch. The headmaster is doing the course with Christien, and we are looking to train counsellors in the school. At the school he is seeing kids with problems in their homes.  The sessions that he have done the last two months has already been very helpful to  a lot of kids and older persons too . One person has been set free from drugs and have come out of gangsterism because of the sessions while other kids have been helped with issues at home. Please pray with us for a team to be trained that can do sessions on a constant basis and an office to be established in the school and the community.(TPM = Transformation Prayer ministry – see more on our website) Please pray for this school that is in an area with a lot of gangsters, drugs and other domestic problems.


Operation Refugee Africa – Dzaleka base DTS

As you know, we have a NPO that raises funds for Refugees to do Mission training in Malawi. The YWAM Dzaleka base was a fruit of the ministry there at the Dzaleka refugee camp. There are two students that want sponsorship to do DTS, they volunteer currently at the YWAM base. Please pray for them: Paulin Bikenge and Rapha Wemlowa.  We posted their newsletters on the Operation Refugee – Ywam Potch facebook page.  If you want to raise funds for them, help them or pray for them – let us know. We will connect you with them.
