Shatito looks 12, but he is probably now close to 16 years old. Shatito’s dad died a few years ago of Aids and his family is one of the poorest of the poor. He had the reputation as one of the “malandros” – bad boys – of the community after his father’s death. He seemed […]

Some photos of the airfield in our closest town (about 1 hour from us). Loading the tiny airplane up! But first: unloading the plane with our supplies from the city. We are glad to get some fresh veggies, powdered milk and canned food again! We just finished the last of much of our food a […]

Francois and our team mate Phil flew out today from a town about 1 hour from our house. They are on their way to the city for meetings and will thereafter visit our new South East Africa field in Tanzania. It will be their first time there and they are looking forward to meet the […]

Francois and I had the wonderful privilege to attend a international NTM forum in the Orient! It was a big event bringing together about a hundred leaders from all of our fields and all our sending countries. There were also representatives from all our training centres. Our goal was that the Lord would use this […]

Here one of the trained teachers is reading the story of Joseph as it is written in Genesis. We had our fourth Literacy course certificate ceremony! Here are all the […]
