This is Ikus and Bianca Conradie. They lead the Every Nation Okahandja church in Namibia. Although their passion and commitment is full time, they actually run and manage a lodge in Okahandja. The church was birthed from a conviction of who Christ is when they were still in Stellenbosch, so when they went to Okahandja to take over the family lodge, the natural thing for them to do was to establish a disciple making family.
Myself and Rudolf Bredell (part of our Ministry Internship team) went to visit Ikus, Bianca and some of their members to help give vision, direction and strategy for how to effectively build a disciple making church and also how to reach their community with the Gospel. The challenges they face are steep, but their immense passion for God and for people has kept them going!
At the end of June a missions team led by Rudolf will be going up to further the support, training and evangelism in Okahandja. I truly believe there is such a big dream and promise resting on Okahandja and I am excited and expectant to see what God will be doing in and through the church!
Please pray with us for Ikus, Bianca and their church. That they will discover the key to reaching their community, that God will keep the passion for the Gospel burning high and that God will place the right leadership team around Ikus and Bianca who can help them lead the church forward.
Below are some photos from our Sunday gathering. We divided into smaller groups and discovered together what God is saying to us from His Word. We specifically broke into smaller groups to help the members see and experience what would happen in a small group discipleship setting.
