A heart for the orphans:
In Aug 2019, my wife and I with our 4 children, reached out to the orphans in Mozambique through our home church in Bloemfontein. There are currently two orphanages that are run by All Nations Mozambique and the plan is to open the third house for babies early in 2020.
All Nations Mozambique was established by Pieter and Rika Boersema in 2005 where they started with only one house for orphan babies. My wife Ilse, reached out to them on several occasions before we got married in 2007. There are on average about 50 orphans that need care and love daily. When Pieter got diagnosed with leukemia four years ago, they moved back to Cape Town so he could get proper medical care. He sadly passed away two years ago and Rika felt that she had to stay in Cape Town with their boys to make sure they finish their studies while gracefully staying involved with the ministry. This left the orphans without a dad and mom and since then Rika and her team have been praying for parents for the orphans.

While we visited in Aug we heard of this desperate need and started to pray earnestly for a dad and mom to be sent to the orphans. Our hearts were touched by seeing all the children and in Oct 2019 on my wife's birthday I heard the Spirit telling me "I AM sending you to Mozambique as missionaries". At that time I didn't know when everything would fall in place for me to resign and for us to leave Bloemfontein.
During the early hours of the morning on 20 Nov, I heard the Spirit again "Today is the day that you need to resign from Absa". I knew that obedience is better than sacrifice so I answered the call and said: "Here am I, Father, send me."
Please keep us in your prayers as Full-time Missionaries / Evangelists

Peace to you in Jesus Name
