Newsletter - Working in Moz - Feb 2020

Image
News from the Mission field Safe in Mozambique   I first of all just want to thank our Father in heaven for helping us through the difficult month of January. It was very stressful to get everything packed up and be out on time. Praise the Lord for providing for our needs( food and travel cost to Moz) as well as precious friends to be the hands and feet of Jesus. We left Bloemfontein on 31 Jan 2020 to walk in the calling to be full-time missionaries in Moz.  How glorious are His ways? We could spend some time in Pretoria with family and friends till we left for Moz on the 6th of Feb. Arriving safely and getting a quick entry through the border allowed us to be on time to celebrate Timoteo's 7th Birthday  Please continue to keep us in your prayers and thanks for all your support. Our needs at the moment are food and water for the month for myself, my wife and the kids, we are trusting the Father for our everyday needs. We also need to go to Cape Town in M...

Getting ready to leave News from the Hollanders: This is such a good illustration that I thought to share this with you: It's been a year of many challenges but also with great spiritual lessons and victories. We are now getting ready to leave Bloemfontein by end January 2020. Praise the Lord we got tenants for our house. We give Him all the glory! Pray for us for wisdom on what to take with us, what to sell and what to give away. Letting go of 6 of our 8 pets was hard for us and the kids. We had to catch their hearts and minister to them. I have applied for a permit to take the two birds with us so the kids can have at least these two to cuddle and hold. Please pray for us that the permit will be ready in time for our departure. We are also planning to meet up with some fellow believers in Pretoria on 2 Feb for fellowship. We are planning to go through to Mozambique on 6 Feb. Please pray for us with the preparations on moving as well as all provision nee...

Newsletter - (Missionary outreach to Mozambique Aug 2019) Nov 2019

A heart for the orphans: In Aug 2019, my wife and I with our 4 children, reached out to the orphans in Mozambique through our home church in Bloemfontein. There are currently two orphanages that are run by All Nations Mozambique and the plan is to open the third house for babies early in 2020. All Nations Mozambique was established by Pieter and Rika Boersema in 2005 where they started with only one house for orphan babies. My wife Ilse, reached out to them on several occasions before we got married in 2007. There are on average about 50 orphans that need care and love daily. When Pieter got diagnosed with leukemia four years ago, they moved back to Cape Town so he could get proper medical care. He sadly passed away two years ago and Rika felt that she had to stay in Cape Town with their boys to make sure they finish their studies while gracefully staying involved with the ministry. This left the orphans without a dad and mom and since then Rika and her te...

Newsletter - Call to Mozambique - Oct 2019

Called as full-time missionaries in Mozambique : The Lord called us on my wife's birthday in Oct 2019 to be full-time evangelists in Mozambique. Working with the people and children has been a passion for me and my wife Ilse ever since we came to faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (Yahusha HaMashiach).  I came to faith on 26 June 2004 and met Ilse June 2007 on a Christian camp in Pretoria. We got married in Nov 2007 because the Lord gave me confirmation that Ilse is to be my wife. The Children that the Lord gave us are our heritage and His reward to us (Ps 127:3). Our firstborn son, next to his mom, Christiaan (meaning follower of Jesus) was born in 2008. Waldo (meaning strong ruler in the authority that Christ gives) came in 2010. In 2012 the Lord showed us that He wanted us to adopt a baby girl because He wanted to give us a heart for adoption after His own Heart. Just as the Father adopted us as dear children in Christ (Ephesians 1:5), so in 2013 we adopted Abiga...
