Scriptures for the Month
- “Behold,
the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His
name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.” Matthew
1:23, Isaiah 7:14
- “Fear
not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will
strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous
right hand.’' Isaiah 41:10
- 'In
the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was
God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld
His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace
and truth.' John 1:1,14

people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. ' Revelation 21:3
Fellowship Highlight
This past
month, we had our seminar for the Afrikaans-speaking families. It was a
precious opportunity to strengthen relationships, share testimonies, and give
thanks to the Lord for His mercies, deliverance and lovingkindness.
🙏 Men’s & Women’s
Ministries
- Men’s Prayer – We are grateful for the
group of men in Dewetsdorp who gather weekly in prayer. Lives have been
touched, prayers answered, and we continue trusting the Lord to raise up
more men of valour, bold in standing for the Truth.
- Women’s Fellowship – Led by my wife,
these weekly gatherings bring women together in prayer and practical
ministry. They crochet and knit items that are shared during outreaches.
These times of fellowship have been deeply edifying, and the Lord continues
to open doors to minister at the local orphanages, old-age
homes, and police stations.
Through
these ministries, elderly people receive love and encouragement, rape victims
receive care packages, and blankets have been distributed to those in need.
📖 James 1:27 –
“Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit
orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the
world.”
🍞 Ministering to the Poor
📖 Galatians 2:10 –
“They desired only that we should remember the poor, the very thing which I
also was eager to do.”
Since May
2024, we have been ministering to poor families in Dewetsdorp with food
parcels, clothing, household supplies, and toiletries. These visits not only
meet physical needs but also open doors for counseling and prayer.
Through
our “5 Loaves and 2 Fish Project”, we distribute monthly food parcels
while sharing the gospel. We also partner with a sister in our church who
provides meals for those living on the streets. These times of fellowship bring
opportunities to pray, encourage, and share the love of Christ.
📚 School
& Youth Ministry
- Weekly praise,
worship, and Bible study at the local school continue to bear fruit.
New believers are given Bibles, and we pray for a deep hunger for the Word
of God.
- Hostel
ministry has been especially impactful, with many students
experiencing healing and deliverance in Jesus’ Name.
- Recently,
the Lord answered our prayers for Bibles—HalleluYah! 🙌 Thank
you for praying with us.
Looking ahead, we are planning a one-day camp for the Sotho children
that we will be hosting on one of the local farms next year during the 1st
term.
❤️ Family
Updates
We humbly ask for prayer for my father-in-law, Tony Linden, who had
an urgent eye operation to prevent blindness. His surgery was on the 21st
October, and we praise our Saviour that the operation was successful in Jesus
Name. Please continue to pray, he is scheduled to see the doctor at oncology on
the 6th of November to do the tests to see how to go about to remove
parts of the cancer in his colon. That will be a very big operation, more than
8 hours.
🙌 Prayer Requests
Please
continue to lift these needs before the Lord:
- Healing for my wife, who still suffers from symptoms
like abdominal pains, nausea etc.
- Provision of a 7-seater
4x4 SUV or double-cab bakkie, as our family of six has outgrown our
small car.
- Provision and guidance for upcoming
mission trips to Lesotho and Namibia.
- A house in Dewetsdorp to use as a base for
ministry.
- Anointing, blessings and fruitfulness for all
upcoming counseling sessions, Bible studies, services, and online
teachings.
🙏 Thank You
We are deeply grateful for
your prayers, encouragement, and support—whether through words, finances,
or partnership. You make it possible for us to continue this Kingdom work and
meet daily needs.
📖 Philippians 4:7 –
“And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts
and minds through Christ Jesus.”
