After a month and a half in South Africa, we have been visiting several churches, groups and individuals in various cities. We are in Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape at the moment. Since arriving here 4 days ago, we’ve had the opportunity to speak during two church services, and meet up with 3 groups (that consisted […]

The last week has finally arrived… We can hardly believe that after 18 weeks of teaching daily, we have reached this point. Praise God who has been faithful in calling those that must hear to come. Many more that live too far to come every day have followed via the solar MP3 players and coming […]

We are so proud of the students who received certificates for doing the eMwinika Literacy course in our community! The group picture is of the students: · both those that were able to finish the whole course (pink certificates) · and the remedial class who managed to complete the first Primer (yellow certificates – and […]

Pray specifically for these two boys. One’s father died earlier this year from AIDS and the other (younger one)’s father has […]

Written June 10 and a bit out of date. Our internet connection was not working for about 10 days. However, our challenges are still the same. It is interesting that we often see a breakdown in communication whenever things getting though. We think that Satan knows how much power there is in the prayers of […]
