Newsletter - Great is Thy faithfulness - October 2026

 

📖 Hollander Family Newsletter – October 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 full-time missionaries preaching the Gospel to every creature. I choose to be obedient to our Master.

😃☺️Highlights and 😭😢 lowlights for the month

Our highlight this month was definitely praying on the mountain, where I took some of the hostel kids with me. See picture below:

My lowlight was definitely letting go of the car that we had for four years. We are getting the old out by faith to make room for the new.  Philippians 4:19; see picture below:

🙏 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 little teddy bears for children in the cancer wards in Bloemfontein hospitals. We trust the LORD 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 some 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. 😊

📚 School & Young Adults 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.

👪 Family Updates

We thank you for all your prayers for our family. Please continue to pray for our family’s health so we can focus on doing the work of the Kingdom. Also, pray that the family is shielded from the enemy's attacks in Jesus' Name.

🙌 Prayer Requests

Please continue to lift these needs before the Lord:

• Provision and guidance for planned mission trips to Gangala, Mozambique, and Lesotho.
• My wife also registered and is currently studying counselling; please pray for the LORD’s wisdom and endurance to complete her 1^st year.
• Anointing of the Holy Spirit, blessings, and fruitfulness for all upcoming counselling sessions, Bible studies, services, and online teachings.
