Newsletter - Preaching the Gospel - Nov 2020

Good day beloved 

Hope it is well with your soul 🌈

First of all, I just want to praise our Father in heaven for the rain we had here on the farm.

We are almost halfway through the Bible school and the year is drawing to a close. The much needed time we spend in the Lord's presence is so precious. Thanks for all your support and prayers. Singing about the blood of Jesus below.

We also went for an outreach to Soutpan where we preached the Gospel of the Kingdom, many sick were healed and people gave devoted their lives to follow the King.

These ladies devoted their lives to Jesus and were baptised in the Holy Spirit

We also rejoiced greatly during the feast of tabernacles (this is one of the feasts of the Lord-

Read Lev 23). We had a blessed time and were surprised with two families who visited us during this week. This time reminds me of how everything in this life is temporary and that we can keep our eyes on the things that will last for eternity. See photos below:

Our earthly bodies are temporary like these tents are

Newsletter - Ministry of reconciliation - Sep 2020

Greetings to all our friends 

It is a new moon and a new month.

Here is the scripture that I have on my heart to share with you:

2 Cor 5:18,19  And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation. To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

News on the Mozambique border:

The border is open but you need to get a covid test on your own cost to show you are not infected. That means that we will have to trust the Lord for 6 tests. When you are through the border you also are required to quarantine for 14 days. Please pray for us for wisdom on what to do at this time. 

We are approaching the 4th month of the Bible school and believe that we will complete this after month 12. We are thankful for this opportunity to prepare us in our walk as missionaries.

We were so blessed to be able to attend a small wedding of one of our brothers and sisters in the Lord.  The children really enjoyed it since this was the first one they attended together as a family. 

I have also learned the valuable skill of building sun ovens and will be teaching this to the people in the communities that we will be going to as evangelists🙌

I also acquired the skill of installing cornice and what a powerful difference this makes.  HalleluYah! 

Last but not least, we have been a privilege to have a newborn baby in our community and her name is Lilly. We bless her parents and grandparents and pray for them.

Thank you for all your continued prayers and support. We are also praying for you and your families. Please keep us in your prayers for our daily needs and health to continue with the work of the Lord. 

We love you so much and bless you in Jesus Name 

Peace and wholeness to you

Newsletter - Bible school - Aug 2020

 It is August and the signs of spring are everywhere. 

We started a Bible school about 8 weeks ago and so far it is going very well.  The plan is to train missionaries and send them all over Africa, making disciples and teaching them the fullness of God's Word.

We are also helping to look after the farm animals. This will help us a lot when we will be going back to Mozambique to teach the local people there on farming God's way.

We still have regular contact with brother Sam and his village. Please keep them in your prayers since his granddaughter past away. Our hearts are going out to their family and loved ones. 

We are also very excited to learn Sotho from a course that a friend of ours borrowed to us during this period for us to reach the neighbours next door in a more effective way with the Gospel.

Thank you for all your continued prayers and support. We are also praying for you and your families.

We love you so much and bless you in Jesus Name 

Peace and wholeness to you

Newsletter - Preparing for the orphans and widows - Jun 2020

Good day beloved

What a beautiful sunset, HalleluYah!

It has been almost 3 months since the sudden lockdown started in March. Thank you for all your continued support and prayers. Our Father in heaven has placed us during this time with a ministry with a heart for orphans and widows. They have a small house that they plan to use for helping orphans and widows. We want to praise our Father in Heaven for all that He has done for us. 

We have moved in here in the ministry house for the orphans and widows.  

The ceilings finally arrived and we managed to get them up before the serious cold fronts came.

My sons also helped me to fix the cupboards so there is more space for the kid's clothes 

Please pray for us for the following:

We are trusting our Father in heaven for the following:

* more intimacy in our relationship with our Father 
* roof seal and paint for the ministry house
* our daily needs
* strength to finish the house

* for our health as a family

They started a Bible school on the premises that we believe the Father has shown us to attend for 1 year.  You are welcome to pray for Rapha ministry as well for God's blessing on them and that we will remain in the Truth

Please keep us in your prayers for specific guidance on how long to be involved here and where to go after this season is over.

Lots of Love

Stev, Ilse and children
