📖 Hollander Family Newsletter – June 2026

Greetings Beloved,

I greet you in the wonderful Name of our Great God and Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ. We pray that you are doing good and that it is well with your soul. Since December 2019, we have been called by Jesus to be missionaries preaching the Gospel to every creature. I choose to be obedient to our Master.


📖 Scriptures for the Month:

John 10:27

My sheep hear My Voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

Matthew 16:24

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

Matthew 4:19

Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

John 10:14-16

 I am the Good Shepherd, and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.  And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one Shepherd.

I John 2:6

He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.         

😃☺️Highlights and 😭😢 lowlights for the month

Our highlight of the past month was definitely making soup for the poor people of Dewetsdorp. They enjoyed my wife's soup so much in Jesus Name. :) 

Our lowlight for the family was definitely falling ill over the last 2 weeks. We trust the LORD for complete healing, in Jesus' Name. :( 

 


🙏 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 (WoolUPray4Me) – 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, homes for disabled people and police stations.

 

Through these ministries, people receive love and encouragement, rape victims receive care packages, and blankets have been distributed to those in need. The current project they are working on is to make winter blankets for 38 disabled people in Bloemfontein. Currently, they have finished 19 blankets. Please pray for wool provision.


📖 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.”

 

Through our “5 Loaves and 2 Fish Project,” we distribute monthly food parcels and share the gospel. We have been ministering to 6 poor families in Dewetsdorp with food parcels, clothing, household supplies, and toiletries. These visits not only meet the physical needs of the saints but also open doors for counselling and prayer.  These families are of different races and cultural backgrounds because we all need Jesus.


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. My wife made soup for the people, and they were so thankful 😊








📚 School & Youth Ministry

  • We have weekly praise & worship, and Bible study at the local school that continues 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.
We pray to the LORD for Bibles, and we trust He will provide! AlleluYah! 🙌 Thank you for praying with us. See the pictures below of some of these kids who received their new Bibles:




We also celebrate each child’s birthday 🎉 and pray over each life to be entrusted to God’s purpose. 


👪 Family Updates

We humbly ask for prayer for my mother-in-law, who has undergone a hip replacement and needs to recover over the next 6 months. Also, for the family to be shielded from the enemy's attacks and healed in Jesus Name.


🙌 Prayer Requests

 

Please continue to lift these needs before the Lord:

  • Provision and guidance for upcoming mission trips to Gangala, Mozambique, and Lesotho.
  • Anointing of the Holy Spirit, blessings and fruitfulness for all upcoming counselling 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 passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
