Pieter's Monthly News Bit

Pieter’s News Bit – February ‘26

Seeking Opportunities to Witness:

My mother is nearly 95 years old, still sharp of mind and alive in spirit.

Recently, I had the privilege of visiting her in Pretoria.

On my way from Lanseria Airport, I took an Uber.

The driver had his radio playing loudly in a language I did not understand. I kindly asked him to turn it off, explaining that I wanted to share something important with him.

With deep gratitude, I shared my personal testimony — how I invited Jesus into my life 52 years ago.

I also explained the familiar illustration of the two circles: one where self sits on the throne and Christ stands outside the life, and the other where Christ is on the throne and self has stepped down.

He quietly said that he liked the second circle, and that he wished his life could look like that too.

Right there, along the road, we prayed together.

He received Jesus as his personal Saviour. It was a holy moment that once again reminded me: God often uses simple, unexpected opportunities.

Fulfilment in My Ministry:

I would also like to share how deeply fulfilled I currently am in my ministry.

Since mid-2024, when I began developing the Evangelism and Spiritual Growth Course, I have been thankful to see how positively many people have responded.

Through 13 intentional communications, I am able to serve these interested individuals step by step.

Every day, between one and four new people join. The focus of the course is multiplication — not only helping people to live Spirit-filled lives, but also equipping them to point others to Christ.

Module B:

I am currently developing Module B, which focuses on discipleship and multiplication.

This module builds on Module A and takes participants further along the journey of spiritual growth.

The goal is to equip them to spiritually guide others, so that the work continues to multiply.

Module B consists of 20 lessons and begins on 2 February.

Faithful Support:

Thank you very much for your faithful support over the years — whether through prayer or financial giving. I truly appreciate it from the depths of my heart. May the Lord bless you richly.

Prayer:

Please be assured of my prayers for you as a reader of this News Snippet. I pray that you will be sensitive to the opportunities God places before you, and that you will seize them with boldness.

Thought for the day:

“You may be the only Bible some people ever read. Let your life speak of Christ.”

Pieter se Nuusbrokkie - Februarie ‘26

Soek geleenthede om te getuig:

My moeder is byna 95 jaar oud en steeds helder van verstand en wakker in gees.

Onlangs het ek die voorreg gehad om haar in Pretoria te besoek.

Op pad vanaf Lanseria-lughawe het ek ’n Uber geneem. Die bestuurder se radio was hard aangeskakel in ’n taal wat ek nie verstaan het nie. Ek het hom vriendelik gevra om dit af te sit, omdat ek iets belangriks met hom wou deel.

Met groot dankbaarheid het ek my persoonlike getuienis met hom gedeel — hoe ek 52 jaar gelede Jesus in my lewe ingenooi het.

Ek het ook die bekende beeld van die twee sirkels verduidelik: die een waar die self op die troon sit en Christus buite die lewe staan, en die ander waar Christus op die troon is en die self afgestap het.

Hy het rustig gesê dat hy van die tweede sirkel hou, en dat hy wens sy lewe kan ook so lyk.

Daar, onderweg, het ons saam gebid. Hy kon Jesus aanneem as sy persoonlike Verlosser. Dit was ’n heilige oomblik wat my weer laat besef het: God gebruik dikwels eenvoudige, onverwagte geleenthede.

Vervulling in my bediening:

Ek wil ook graag deel hoe diep vervuld ek tans in my bediening is. Sedert middel 2024, toe ek begin het met die ontwikkeling van die Evangelisasie- en Geestelike Groei-kursus, het ek met groot dankbaarheid gesien hoe baie mense positief reageer.

Deur 13 doelgerigte kommunikasies kan ek hierdie belangstellendes stap vir stap bedien.

Daagliks sluit daar tussen een en vier nuwe mense aan.

Die fokus van die kursus is byvoeging: om mense nie net te help om ’n Geesvervulde lewe te lei nie, maar ook om ander na Christus te wys.

Module B:

Dissipelskap en vermenigvuldiging.

Ek is tans besig met die ontwikkeling van Module B, wat fokus op dissipelskap en vermenigvuldiging. Hierdie module bou voort op Module A en neem deelnemers verder op die pad van geestelike groei.

Die doel is om hulle toe te rus om ander geestelik te begelei, sodat die werk kan aanhou vermenigvuldig.

Module B bestaan uit 20 lesings en begin op 2 Februarie.

Getroue ondersteuning:

Baie dankie vir jou getroue ondersteuning oor die jare — hetsy deur gebed of finansieel.

Ek waardeer dit opreg en uit die diepte van my hart. Mag die Here jou ryklik seën.

Gebed:

Wees verseker van my gebed vir jou as leser van hierdie Nuusbrokkie.

Ek bid dat jy sensitief sal wees vir die geleenthede wat God vir jou skep, en dat jy dit met vrymoedigheid sal aangryp.

Toebroodjie vir die pad:

“You may be the only Bible some people ever read. Let your life speak of Christ.”
