Men’s & Women’s
Ministries
We are thankful for a small group of men here in Dewetsdorp who gather
weekly in prayer. It has been powerful to see lives touched and prayers
answered. We continue to trust the Lord to raise up more men of valor, bold in
standing for the Truth.
My wife leads weekly gatherings for the women, where they pray together
and crochet or knit items that are shared during outreaches. These times of
fellowship have been deeply edifying. We are trusting the Lord for the
provision of wool, facecloths, and soap, which are given as gifts to bless
others. Opportunities have also opened to minister at the local orphanage,
old-age home, and police station. Many elderly people receive little or no
visits from family, so it is a joy to share God’s love with them. At the police
station, we have been able to comfort victims of rape with small care packages,
and we also handed out blankets to the elderly. See video below:
Current Project: crocheting 12 blankets for 12 babies in an
orphanage in Bloemfontein has been completed. See pictures as well as video
below (for the protection of the babies' identities, we have covered their
faces)
Ministering to the Poor
Since May 2024, we have been ministering to poor families in Dewetsdorp
with food, clothing, household supplies, and toiletries, as the Lord provides.
These visits open doors for counselling and prayer. Thank you to all who have
given to make this ministry possible in Jesus’ Name.
Through our “5 Loaves and 2 Fish Project,” we distribute monthly
food parcels and share the gospel with families. We also partner with a sister
in our local church who provides meals for people living on the streets of
Dewetsdorp. These times of fellowship allow us to share the Word and pray with
those in need.
School & Youth Ministry
We continue serving at the local school with Sunday praise, worship, and
Bible study. New converts are given Bibles, and we pray for a hunger and thirst
for God’s Word. It has been a blessing to minister to learners at the hostel as
well, many of whom have experienced healing and deliverance in Jesus’ Name.
We prayed for Bibles—and the Lord provided! HalleluYah! 🙌 Here are some pictures of
the new Bibles that were handed out. Please keep praying for the four schools
in our area.
This month, we celebrated 13 birthdays 🎉, praying over each life and trusting God to guide them into His
purpose. See pictures below:
Family Updates
We are also grateful that my mom is happy and settled at the old-age
home nearby.
Prayer Requests
We ask for your continued prayers:
- For
my wife’s health. She still experiences abdominal pain of unknown cause.
- For the
provision of a reliable 7-seater 4x4 SUV or double-cab bakkie, as
our family of six no longer fits into a small 5-seater car.
- For
the upcoming family conference in October
- For
our upcoming outreaches, we are planning mission trips to Lesotho
as well as to Namibia. We trust the LORD for provision.
- For
the Lord to provide a house in Dewetsdorp from which we can
minister.
- For
all upcoming counselling sessions, Bible studies, church services, and
online teachings.
Thank You
We are so grateful for your continued prayers, encouragement, and
support—whether through words or finances—which make it possible to continue
this Kingdom work and meet daily needs.
