MID YEAR.

It is July already. No stopping time. God continues to bless us as we reach out. The new Gospel Chariot in Ghana has now had its first Gospel meeting. 40 souls were baptized in Ghana and 110 souls baptized into Christ in Malawi with Chariot 2. Chariot 1 crossed over into the southern part of Mozambique and is now in Venda, South Africa. There were 2 souls baptized in Mozambique and 41 so far in Venda. We are now in the process of getting a mini Gospel Chariot set up, to work in Liberia with brother Isaac Daye. There is so much happening and we need to give credit to the team and all those involved in this amazing work of God, but most of all, we give God the Glory.
Ria and I are in Perth Australia with our kids and grand kids. Its this time of the year where we like to be with them. We will have 6 birthdays whilst visiting with them. All our kids were born in July except Hilton who was born on the 10th of August.  Last Sunday I got to preach at the Malaga Church of Christ where the 4 kids and their families attend. God has been so good to us. We hoping in the coming years to set up an office in Perth where I can leave Ria with her children and grand children, I will then work between 3 offices on 3 continents, Africa the USA and Australia. Our goal then is to try put a chariot in every African country. PLEASE pray for our 20 year plan.

Above and below show the graduation of the GCM Bible Students in Pretoria.

Above shows brother Tebogo handing over a certificate. Brother Tebogo is a
preacher & elder from the big Church of Christ in Atteridgeville. He has played a
big roll in mentoring our Gospel Chariot team over the years. Thank you, brother. 

Dimpo and Bongani from our Pretoria office and school. Dimpo, on the
right is being groomed to take over from me as director of African missions in 2020.
Exciting times as we look to passing over the baton and leaving a legacy. They say "a
leader's lasting value is measured by succession" I will be 65 then and hope to serve
under Dimpo in Africa for another 15 years, Lord willing. Watching him dream and take
this work even further. Succession is one of the key responsibilities of leadership, yet 
so many leaders avoid it and in the process harm Gods work. Please pray for us.

doors have opened for us to reach over and assist the brethren. Brethren from Venda

term Bible Schools next semester. You can see brother Stanley Netshiya, 4th from
