Newsletter 2023

During 2022, the work in the harvest field continued successfully. We thank every supporter of our ministry, whether through finances or prayer. Your support ensured that 2022 was a huge success, and that so many high points could be achieved. Unless the LORD builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted. Unless the LORD protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good. It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives rest to his loved ones. Psalm 127:1-2 (NLT)

Introduction

During 2022, the work in the harvest field continued successfully. We thank every supporter of our ministry, whether through finances or prayer.

Unless the LORD builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted. Unless the LORD protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good. It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives rest to his loved ones.
Psalm 127:1-2 (NLT)

Your support ensured that 2022 was a huge success, and that so many high points could be achieved.

Mentoring testimonies

During 2022 I acted as mentor for a website from India. I had the privilege of handling almost 90 requests per month. A few testimonies that I would like to share with you:

“Hey, nice to hear you are a firm believer in Christ and Bible. I am interested in Jesus and Bible. Can we pray and discuss more about Bible principles and verses? I find this is vital for our happiness and well-being.”
“Twenty years ago, I was a good son to my parents. I got introduced to alcohol by my friends during our festival with just one peg and slowly it became my habit. Now I take every day and there is no peace in my family.”
“I have been browsing pornography for some time now and it results most time to masturbation. I want to break free. I need someone to be accountable to.”
“I am extremely grateful to you for being there, just for reading what I wrote, paying homage to it. You don’t know how light it has made my head and my emotional baggage.”

Ministry at schools

As the opportunity arises, I also bring messages to schools during their morning openings.

When I spoke the other day at a school with 840 learners, I spoke about “Problems in our lives”.

About 600 of the learners get food at the school - some of them the only meal for the day.

However, it was wonderful when almost everyone, including the teachers, raised their hands afterwards, as proof that they prayed to accept Jesus in their lives.

Outreach to farms and businesses

With the new film series that Campus Crusade for Christ released; “Walking with Jesus”, we are very excited for the ministry over the next number of years on farms and communities.

This is a series of 5 half-hour films that deal with the entire spectrum of growth/follow-up, to communicate to a new believer a solid foundation of the ‘new life’ with Christ.

If you are interested, you can open the link below and watch some of the episodes:

During 2022, with the Lord’s grace, we were able to reach out on 94 occasions with messages and spiritual films, reaching about 1,934 people.

We saw once again how the Holy Spirit touches people, never to be the same again.

One woman testified: “Sir, the things you show us in the film are exactly what is going on here on the farm.”
