Reaching the nations - TOGETHER!

From the 18th - 22nd of July we had MPD (Ministry Partnership Development) training for those who are transitioning to full time staff.

It was such an amazing week and it opened my eyes to how people who have "normal jobs" get actively involved in the works of the ministy through partnership. How everyone can live our Jesus' command to "Go and make disciples..."

Romans 10:14-15 reads:

How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent?

The work of the sender and the goer is equally important and together we can do SO MUCH MORE!

Afri Ski = PAIN

What a way to spend a weekend away from the busy lifestyle of the city... in the snow covered mountains of Lesotho!

It was an amazing experience (it was my first time) and definately something you'll never forget. The pain wont let you =)

 

 

Just a short drive from the ski resort we found snow deep enough to play in... And off course to build a snow man!

  

And BEST of all... I got to spend it with "my liefie" =)

Thanks to everyone who made it AWESOMENESSNESS!!

Halfway House...

Half way through the year, we stopped to reflect on the growth and to share the vision for the future! We had such a great night of fellowship together!

About 130 leaders and upcoming leaders from the church came together to celebrate what God has been doing in 2011 and to allign themselves with what God still wants to do this year...

Mozambique Mission - 24 June - 6 July

On Friday the 24^th of June we left very early the morning for the follow-up mission to Mozambique.

Having had a very successful trip in April we were full of faith and excitement for what God was going to do. We were not disappointed…

Sunday Church Service



We spent the week with the Bible school students teaching on hearing the voice of God. We had 3 days of teaching where we practically engaged in hearing God’s voice, giving them opportunities to hear God’s voice for themselves, each other and also the nation!

Every week the Bible school has an outreach. We were privileged to go on two!

Seserra

I also had the privilege of going with Serra into his village, Seserra, where he showed me around. We would drive to a location then walk around, visiting the house, praying for the people, driving to the next location and doing the same. Walking with Serra through his village I couldn’t help to think that this is how Jesus also did it.  I could see that he has an immense love for his people and his words from that day still lie deep in my heart: “These houses have people in them and these people need Jesus”. That is why he does what he does, sacrificially and daily!

 Once again this has been an amazing visit to our family in Mozambique. We are so excited to see the transformation in the lives of people and how it flows into the community. This is what we dream to see – the church, in the form of people, passionately loving and serving God and impacting every area of society around them! This mission once again just emphasized once again that discipleship is relationship!

Thank you so much for all the prayers (PRAY)and financial (PAY) support! A huge thank you to Bibles for Believers and Vaalrivier Dienstasie who made it possible for us to take 200 Bibles to Mozambique!

I personally can’t wait to GO again…
