Vorsters' Newsletter October
John
16:13 But when
he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the
truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and
he will tell you what is yet to come.
Southern-African
leadership meeting
We travelled to the Western Cape for the leaders meeting of Ywam (Youth with a mission) South-Africa this week. This is always a very anointed meeting, and we heard what the Holy Spirit is saying to the global Ywam community. Over a hundred leaders in Southern Africa and the Islands attended it. We had a speaker that gave us new motivation to be like LIONS in the mission field. We also attended groups about Frontier Missions and how to mentor people.
Relationship school
We are
currently doing our new internet relationship school. The school is being led
by a couple that were trained by the family ministry school in Ywam. They are
from the Netherlands, and we have about 8 students. They will also do a
marriage school next year. We are excited to see that his school is working
well and that this school seems that they will be launched successfully as
internet schools.
TPM and
Prophetic Schools Doing Practicals
We had
good TPM and prophetic schools. The students are currently training prophetic
words to each other and the TPM school are doing sessions with each other.
We had a
national meeting of TPM last Saturday Dr Ed Smith that started TPM
internationally was the speaker on zoom and we had 44 participants on the
meeting. We have trained many people in the Potch area including students and
we are currently talking with a group from Ikageng and Promosa to do the course
with us next year. I have been doing sessions now at 3 different schools and it
seems like a nice flow is starting in the communities with the counselling
skill. It seems like we are making more inroads in the community with the more
lightweight schools we have developed on the internet than with the DTSs. TPM
is Transformation Prayer Ministry. DTS is Discipleship Training School (full time)
Josua is
currently on outreach with the Worcester base in Namibia. They would have gone
to the Philippines but not everyone got their finances. They would have been in
the middle of a huge cyclone in Manila if they got their finances if they went.
They are now in Windhoek in Namibia and are busy with fruitful work in that
area. Josua seems to be enjoying it very much. Please pray for them to finish
well.
Job got
a doctorate position in Helsinki
Job was
chosen out of twenty-seven applicants to have a doctorate job at the university
of Helsinki. It is a great accomplishment for him in his area of expertise. He
is studying astrophysics. He is going to Finland at the beginning of November.
His wife is pregnant, and they are expecting the end of January. Please pray
for Job and his family in this transition time. We will miss them a lot, but we
know the Lord will guide and use them also in Finland. (Iida is from Finland).
Prayer
topics:
1)
Please pray with us for Job and Iida and for Josua
and his team. Josua finishes 9 December with his outreach and Job starts
working in Finland beginning of November.
2)
Our other children are writing tests and busy
with work at the University. Please pray for them too for good choices and
their safety.
3)
For the YWAM SA leadership. The ministries
are making great inroads in SA and are important for the future of SA as they
are creating lots of Christian ministries in the country.
4)
We are still going to Uganda and Malawi in the
last semester and will be travelling for seven out of the last 12 weeks of the
year. Please pray for safety in the air and on the roads.
5)
Let us praise the Lord for opportunities to equip
leaders in the community to reach the lost disciple people. We reached so many
different leaders in countries where the material is not readily available.
