We have been in South Africa for 3 months now. It has been a very blessed time with both related and church family members and old and new friends! We thank Father for the opportunities we have had to talk also in new church congregations – telling them about the privilege and wonder of being […]

We met at a church youth meeting and soon became fast friends! Francois went to study Forestry Engineering at a town 800km from where Nadia lived and studied, but we kept in contact through “snail” mail and holiday visits. At the end of our final year at university, we got engaged and married in December […]

I was 8 years old when my mom was diagnosed with cancer for the first time. Three months before, she shared with us the Gospel in such a way that I understood for the first time: when I believe, my sins are paid for and I am a child of God! I was very aware […]

Pray with us for the Mwinika people who have heard the Good News of Jesus Christ for the first time this year. They are now in the process of trying to understand what this means – this Truth – in their daily lives. What does it mean when my child gets sick, or when my […]

One of the great things of our passport country, is to be able to brows on the internet! 🙂 While gathering some information for a brochure, I came across these statistics: • Even though Christ came to earth more than 2000 years ago… of the 6.5 billion people live on Earth. 2.3 billion live in […]

Some people have asked about our training and experience before we joined NTM in 2004. Here is a short summery: Ministry for us already started when they were living in South Africa and ministered in the Garden-Route area where Francois was a forester and Nadia a teacher.
