Namibia, Ghana, Liberia, Western Cape and Pretoria.

God continues to work. This last month has seen plenty happen. By the grace of God, funds have been sent to Liberia to our brother Isaac Daye, who will build the first mini chariot. It should be up and running in a month's time. I also traveled to the country of Namibia and flew internally to the north, to a town called Ondangwa and Oshakati, where 60% of the population live and no congregations, except a hut church 16 KM out of Oshakati. See pics below. Some good news is, we are not only building a chariot for Liberia, but sending brother Anton Ngabwe to be the missionary of the north. Anton has been working in Windhoek with the Wanaheda Church of Christ. He will finish a 4 year degree year end and then off to Ondangwa. We will then plant a congregation and campaign there with the Fredericksburg congregation in April. AMEN! God is helping us reach unreached areas. Thank you Lord.

mini chariot. We are now trying to get one up and running for Zimbabwe.

 

GEORGE IN THE WESTERN CAPE

 

Above and below shows the Thembuletu Church of Christ in George in the Western
Cape. This is a congregation we planted 5 years ago and managed to get a Church
building for the brethren. Sister Gladys, who's husband passed away last year, runs a
daycare for little kids and supports herself as a widow, but needed help or be closed.
We managed to roll up our sleeves and spend a month cleaning, tiling, painting and
making it livable for those little ones.

Ria visiting with me and getting involved in more ways than one. She is a jack of
all trades. Believe me. Shame, are they not precious. There are 18 of them all packed
into a bedroom. Not a good situation.

Her own kitchen being used for the daycare.

Above shows the homemade baby cots that Jackson, her husband, made
before he passed away.

Above shows Ria collecting cups, plates, flooring, education charts and curtaining

Ria also organized 20 mini mattresses for the little kids.

Then it was the big job. Going into the church building and transforming it into
a facility that can be used during the week for the little ones.

Above shows the tiler finishing the tiling. What you see at the back is a little
Kitchen where Gladys can keep the food and cook for the children, but at the same
time keep an eye on the children and helpers.

Above shows Gladman from Plett helping to paint. Zonge, Gladman and myself traveled through to help get it completed.



Above shows some of the new converts also helping with the work

Above shows some of the new brethren painting the baptistery.

Then you have me doing some painting. We decided to paint the bottom
section of the walls dark brown due to the kids playing and dirtying the walls.

Then the finishing touches. Putting up curtain rails and hanging curtains



Above shows Gladys and some of the young Christians who helped work and get her
daycare ready for the little ones to have school. We have set up a committee to assist
her as she goes forward with growing the daycare, but also reaching out to the parents
who bring the children to her. GREAT DOOR OF OPPORTUNITY

Above and below shows some of the new converts in Thembuletu, George

 

PLETTENBERG BAY

Above shows some of the little children at the Hillview Church of Christ in Plett 



Above shows Lazarus Munetsi and his wife Busi from Pretoria visiting Plettenberg Bay for 2 weeks. I asked him to visit and look into working the Garden Route for one year and help me oversee some of the works Ria and I started. You can also see Gladman, Edwin, Esau, Xolani and some of the leading ladies in the Church. They were meeting with the Munetsi's and saying goodbye before they left. Little did we know, that same day Laz and Busi would breakdown 4 hours out of town and have to be towed back to Port Elizabeth. His vehicle is still being repaired. Not a good situation. Laz and Busi eventually caught a bus back to Pretoria.



NAMIBIA





Above shows Anton and the Wanaheda Church of Christ, planted by us in Windhoek some years back. They are all ready to visit an orphanage with 175 children. The ladies class at the Fredericksburg Church in Texas sent them some funds to help the little ones. Amen and Amen. Anton is going to be relocated to the North, another AMEN,

Helenie is a long time member in Wanahede.

On my trip I then flew from Windhoek to Ondanwa in the north and met a brother I met at our Namibian lectureships. His name is Petrus and was converted in Luderitz in the south. I then promised to visit him in the north due to there being no Churches of Christ up there. I communicated with him to meet him at the Post Office in Oshakati. I then followed him to his village 16 KM out in the bush.

Above shows his mini church hut. How cute is that. Nothing wrong with that.

Above shows Petrus in his church hut with a Church of Christ sign. Amen

Above shows, yes, even a baptistery at his homestead. This just shows you
how God's word reaches people in darkest parts of Africa.

Above shows Ria my wife with Lazarus and his wife in George having
lunch together after visiting the George Church in Thembuletu

Above shows Chariot 1. Lazarus works this chariot with Bongani. This chariot is now in the Natal area with Bongani working through the province. Laz has just returned from Swaziland. Souls have been saved in Natal and Swaziland.

GHANA

 



Above shows the Ghana Gospel Chariot still working through the Accra area, having open air meetings and showing Jesus films. 3 souls were baptized the last month. This Chariot also had a breakdown and had to go into the agents for a repair. Next year this chariot will start venturing out into other regions and ultimately other surrounding countries.



Above shows some of the team that went out assisting the Ghana Chariot.

PRETORIA

 



Above shows Dimpo, Bongani, Dennis with brother Hufford, from Harding,
