Blessed with new opportunities
Newsletter – October 2024
Hi, from Potchefstroom. Hope you are doing very well. We praise God for all that He is doing. There are so many things we hear on the news but God is also very busy with His kingdom. And this world truly needs the Kingdom of God to come in the hearts of people.
YWAM Southern-African leadership meeting in October
Ywam had their global meeting in September and now
we have our local meeting in October for this region. Cape Town has started to
be a little bit of a circuit for us as we do a lot of ministry on the way to
Cape Town and also in the Cape Town region. We are going to Upington to spend
some time with people that were trained in the Tpm. Then we are going to
Kotzesrus in the Northern Cape to do some ministry with a group of Khoisan
people. In Cape Town there is also many relationships we are following up..
Loren Cunningham talked about cycles, circuits and circles to explain how the
Holy Spirit leads in mission journeys. Cycles is the time-frame in which you
travel, circuit is the region you are travelling and the circle is the circle
of leaders you are associating with in the mission God wants you to accomplish.
We are looking forward to the SA leadership gathering to see all of the people
we have been working with since 2009.
Currently I am studying a diploma in Theology with
E2M as I felt God has called me for the church as well. I was invited to preach
on zoom to a closed nation and we saw 549 people coming to Jesus in that event.
Last Saturday I was invited to a township in Stilfontein and today I was
speaking at a men's event in Vaal. We also went to Vredefort to share about TPM
to a group from different churches. I was also invited to speak to a group of
50 men from ten different churches in Sasolburg. This is a new move of the
Spirit and I enjoy teaching in these various locations. God is normally working
from the grassroots up and sometimes from the top down to the bottom.
When I saw the fruit of the prophetic school in a
closed nation I was struck again at the power of discipleship. At some of the
churches I preach, I was struck with the lack of discipleship. Discipleship
trains true leaders. We have done so many discipleship schools of various kinds
I cannot count them anymore. We release them after the schools and you see them
only on facebook after that. It is very difficult to gauge the effect of your
work as the kingdom of God is within us. In this prophetic school we see some
good leadership material and we hope that they will also bear as much fruit as
previous people that were trained in the prophetic school.
Work creation
After many months of preparation we started with
the work creation centre. I am involved in the team but the work is done by
Emmah Mosiane and she is helped by a previous professor of economics Prof Japie
Kroon. We are thankful for this centre that started and we hope for many more
fruit. Please pray for this crucial work in our local community
We are always thankful for new people in the TPM We
have very precious sessions that we cannot talk about because it is
confidential. But we are very thankful for a new group of people that are
coming through that is being trained. We got a person that is able to upgrade
our courses on the internet to expand it more and to make it more people
friendly with all kinds of ways to accelerate learning with the newest internet
tools. We are looking forward to seeing how it pans out. We praise God as we
see Him at work. We are seeing more and more sessions with indigenous people.
When we were on our government outreach we just realised how much trauma
healing needs to happen for nations. We can see with the TPM movement that God
has been doing this all along. We just continue to build the network bigger and
bigger as the TPM as multiply-able and very effective.
Both our daughters are expecting new babies in the
first semester of next year. For Elandri and Matthew and Francois and Andrea it
will be their first baby. Please pray for the safe arrival of all these new
ones. We are so excited!
Jonathan was on
an international mission trip with a group from Moreleta Park in Pretoria. He
had a profound cultural experience and he enjoyed the trip a lot. This has
given him a new passion for the nations and was an eye opener to the importance
of the gospel. In South-Africa we are very privileged to live in a nation where
the gospel is celebrated. It is not the case in all nations. It is our first
year with an empty nest. We only have Josua over the weekends. Please pray
for us for God’s direction in this new season of our life!
- The safe arrival of the grandkids.
- Provision for our three week Cape Town trip.
Especially transport and conference fees for the YWAM meeting
- Please pray for the preaching circuit for many
new converts and discipleship.
- We want to finish off our debt, get more
income streams so that we can travel more internationally.
