WE DECIDED THAT SUSAN WOULD LEAVE ON THE 21ST TO BE ON TIME FOR THE DEPARTURE OF OUR DAUGHTER AND SON IN LAW, WHO WERE LEAVING WITH THE LIBERTAS-CHOIR TO GERMANY. OUMA HAD TO LOOK AFTER THE 2 YEAR OLD GRANDSON, WHICH SHE THOROUHLY ENJOYED!
I (JANNIE) STAYED AND FINISHED THE ROOF OF THE CLINIC (REALIZING I NEEDED 16 TRUSSES NOT 12!). I WAS ABLE TO DEPART FOR SA ON THE AFTERNOON OF 1 DECEMBER. IN THAT LAST WEEK, THE RAIN SEASON STARTED AND THE WORK THAT I THOUGHT WOULD NOT BE FINISHED IN 5 DAYS, THE LORD HELPED ME FINISH IN 3.5 DAYS! I WAS EXCITED ABOUT THE NEW ROUTE THROUGH BOTSWANA. I LEFT FROM TETE IN MOZAMBIQUE THE SUNDAY MORNING AT 04H00.THE ROUTE WOULD BE TETE, CATANDICA, BANDULA , MUTARE , MASVINGO, BULUWAYO, PLUMTREE INTO BOTSWANA, FRANCISTOWN, PALAPAYE AND THEN STOP FOR COFFEE WITH A FRIEND THE EVENING 11H30. PASSING GABERONE AND THROUGH LOBATSIE I REACHED RHAMATHLABANA, THE SOUTHERN BORDERPOST OF BOTSWANA AT 06H00 THE FOLLOWING MORNING.
NEARING SA, I TRAVELLED QUICKLY. I HAD A WIMPY BREAKFAST AT VRYBURG AND TRAVELLED THROUGH WARRENTON, KIMBERLEY, AND THREE SISTERS. I REACHED HOME THE MONDAY EVENING AT 09H30. THE LORD PROTECTED AND KEPT ME 3,300KM AND VAALJAN MY FORD RANGER WITH 400,000KM ON THE CLOCK READY TO DO MORE. THIS WAS DEFENITELY THE ROUTE FOR THE FUTURE. COMPARED TO THE ROUTE THROUGH BEITEBRUG, IT WAS 210KM FUTHER, BUT SO MUCH FASTER AND THE BORDERPOSTS A PLEASURE.
NEEDLESS TO SAY WE HAD A VERY BLESSED VISIT WITH OUR CONGREGATION FAMILY AND FRIENDS. I DID NOT TAKE MY TRAILER WITH TO SA SO IT WAS POSSIBLE FOR ME TO BRING A FIELD AMBULANCE FOR NKHOMA HOSPITAL FROM POTCHEFSTROOM ON THE WAY UP. BEING A 3 WHEEL FARM “TRACTOR” THAT WAS CONFIGURED TO BE A FIELD AMBULANCE, JAN VAN LITTERVELT AND I MANAGED TO ADAPT THIS VEHICLE AS A TRAILER AND WE BROUGHT IT THROUGH TO MALAWI WHERE WE REASSEMBLED IT BACK TO WORKING ORDER. THE PLEASURE ON THE PERSONNEL`S FACES WAS VERY SATISFYING AS A 2 YEAR PROJECT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED.
AFTER DELIVERIES OF VARIOUS PACKAGES, WE ARE BACK IN CHANDAME ON THE 5TH OF FEBRUARY, BACK IN OUR ROUTINE. THIS TIME OF THE YEAR IT RAINS A LOT, SO WE SCHEDULE EVERYTHING AROUND THE WEATHER, BUT WORK HAS COMMENCED AND WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE “RIDE”. THANK YOU, LORD, WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE LEADING THE WAY!
JANNIE AND SUSAN
HERE IS AN UPDATE OUR ACTIVITIES FOR 2012!
OUTREACH TO AQUA BOA (A PRAYERHOUSE NEAR CHANDAME)
ON FRIDAY THE 5TH OF OCTOBER, PASTOR ISAIAH AND THE CHANDAME YOUTH WENT TO AQUA BOA, WHERE WE HAD AN EVANGELISM WEEKEEND.
THEY STARTED THE WEEKEND WITH PRAISE AND WORSHIP, CHOIR MUSIC, AND ALSO SHOWED DVD’S, INCLUDING THE JESUS FILM AND A FILM FROM GENESIS UP TO WHERE ABRAHAM SACRIFICES HIS SON ISAAC. THEY WENT ON THROUGH THE NIGHT AS WELL AS THE WHOLE OF SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, AND ENDED THE WEEKEND OF EVANGELISM WITH SEVERAL SERMONS. IT WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL WEEKEND!
WE WOULD LIKE TO SHARE SOME OF THE SERMONS WITH YOU:
- BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS
- CHOOSE YOUR LIFE AWAY FROM PEOPLE THAT DO WRONG.
- EVERYONE MUST WALK WITH JESUS – (1 TIM 4, MAT 7:15 LUKE 13:22).
TO ILLUSTRATE, WE USED THE STORY OF THE MANY INSECTS WHO WERE TOGETHER. THEY WERE ALL GOING TO GET WINGS, BUT ALL BUT ONE WERE TOO BUSY TO GO AND COLLECT THEM. LATER THE NEXT DAY, HE WAS ASKED AGAIN TO COLLECT THEM, BUT WERE AGAIN TOO BUSY WITH OTHER THINGS. THE NEXT DAY A FIRE CAME. ALL OF THE INSECTS WITH WINGS COULD FLY AWAY BUT THE ONE WITH NO WINGS WAS IN TROUBLE AND BURNT IN THE FIRE.
SATAN PULLS US DOWN, INTO THE FIRE, BUT GOD WILL TAKE AWAY ALL OUR SINS. SO WE BEGGED THEM TO FOLLOW JESUS FOR ETERNAL LIFE (REVELATION 19, JOHN 11:43). GOD IS NOT A CHEATER (LUKE 12:21), BUT BECAUSE OF CHEATERS, THE CONGREGATION IS NOT GROWING.
OTHER NEWS:
JANNIE IS ALSO HELPING BEN BEKKER, A BUSINESS MAN FROM TETE, TO DRILL FOR WATER IN SEVERAL LITTLE VILLAGES. PREVIOUSLY, THE PEOPLE HAD TO WALK TO THE RIVER TO GET WATER. THE MOZAMBIQUAN LEAVE TOBACCO COMPANY HELPS THE PEOPLE TO GET RUNNING WATER BY IDENTIFYING AND FINANCING THESE PROJECTS. WE DO THE DRILLING, AND PUT IN SOME HANDPUMPS. WHILE VISITING THE VILLAGES, WE THEN SHOW THEM SOME DVD’S – LIKE THE JESUS FILM – WHICH HELPS US TO SPREAD THE WORD AT PLACES WE NEVER SHOULD HAVE VISITED.
JANNIE IS ALSO VERY GOOD AT IDENTIFYING DRILLING POINTS. WHEN WE ARRIVE AT A PLACE, HE STARTS WALKING, PRAYING FOR HELP FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT. EVERY TIME THE LORD HAS SHOWED HIM WHERE TO DRILL, AND EVERY TIME THERE WAS WATER – FROM 25 UP TO 73 METRES. WE JUST HAVE TO OBEY AND THEN BELIEVE GOD WILL GIVE WATER – SOMETIMES NOT QUICKLY! – BUT THAT WAS THE LORD’S WAY TO TEACH US TO LIVE CLOSER TO HIM, AND ALSO TO LEARN PATIENCE. HIS TIME IS NOT OUR TIME.
WITH THE MONEY WE EARN, WE CAN CONTINUE WITH OUR WORK AT CHANDAME. WHILE WE WERE AWAY, OUR WORKERS MADE A NEW FENCE AROUND OUR CAMPSITE AND ALSO FINISHED BAGGING THE CLINIC ON THE OUTSIDE. WE ALREADY BOUGHT THE SHEETING AND THE WOOD FOR THE ROOF, WHICH WILL BE FINISHED IN NOVEMBER BEFORE THE RAINY SEASON STARTS. IF THE ROOF IS FINISHED WE CAN WORK INSIDE THE CLINIC.
WHEN WE ARE AT CHANDAME, WE DO OUR USUAL CHORES. SUSAN HAS A PRE-SCHOOL EVERY MONDAY, WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY, WHERE SHE TEACHES THE CHILDREN HAND EYE COORDINATION AND SEVERAL MUSCLE EXERCISES. THE CHILDREN IN TURN TEACH HER TO SPEAK CHEWA WHILE SHE TEACHES THEM. SUSAN ALSO RUNS THE CLINIC FROM 9 – 12 MONDAYS TO FRIDAYS.
JANNIE HELPS THE LOCALS TO TRANSPORT THEIR MAIZE, POTATOES, AND CABBAGE TO THE MARKET IN CHANDAME, AND ALSO RUNS A WORKSHOP. CHANDAME HAS DEFENITELY DEVELOPED A LOT DURING THE LAST 3 YEARS.
16 TO 19 AUGUST, WE HAD A BIG WOMENS MEETING AT CHANDAME. 800 WOMEN ARRIVED ON THURSDAY THE 16TH AND WENT HOME AGAIN SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT 15H00. THEIR THEME WAS UNITY. THEY PRAISE AND WORSHIPPED, AND SLEPT AND ATE AND ENJOYED THE MEETING. 26 GOATS WERE SLAUGHTERED, 400 CABBAGES AND LOTS OF MAIZE WERE EATEN, AND 3 LOADS OF WOOD FOR MAKING THE FOOD WERE FETCHED WITH THE TRACTOR AND WAGON. EVERY MORNING AT 06:00, JANNIE WENT TO FETCH SOME FRESHLY BAKED BREAD. WE ALSO SUPPLIED THEM WITH ELECTRICITY FOR THE VENUE WHERE THEY SLEPT AND ATE, WHICH WAS LUXURY FOR THEM. MOST OF THE WOMEN DID NOT HAVE ELETRICITY IN THERE VILLAGES.
SUNDAY THEY HAD A “WALK FOR JESUS” IN WHICH ALL 800 WOMEN PARTICIPATED. IT WAS AMAZING! A MIRACLE ALSO HAPPENED. WHEN JANNIE WANTED TO TAKE SOME OF THE WOMEN AWAY SUNDAY, HE HAD TO FILL UP THE TRACTOR WITH DIESEL. WHEN HE WANTED TO PUT IN DIESEL THE TRACTOR WAS ALLREADY FULL! THIS ALSO HAPPENED AT THE EVANGELISM WEEKEND IN OCTOBER – WE WANTED TO FILL UP THE TRACTOR WITH DIESEL BUT SUDDENLY IT WAS NOT NESCESSARY – GOD ALLREADY TOOK CARE OF IT! AMAZING.
WILHELM ELS, OUR FRIEND, ALSO VISITED US AGAIN FOR A FOLLOW UP ON THE FARMING GOD WAY TRAINING. IT WAS A SUCCESFUL DAY. A GROUP OF MEN FROM GOUDINI ALSO CAME TO VISIT, AND STAYED WITH US AT CHANDAME. WE ENJOYED AND APPRECIATED IT VERY MUCH. ALSO, ON 5TH AND 6TH JULY, FOUR FAMILIES OF GOUDINI ALSO VISITED US. THEY WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY TO VISIT US, AND WE ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH! FROM 26 JUNE TO 9 JULY 2012 WILL AND ELIZE VILJOEN ALSO VISITED US ON CHANDAME. THEY WERE THE FOUNDERS OF CHANDAME, AND WE HAD A GOOD TIME TOGETHER. THEY SPOILED US VERY MUCH – WE SPENT TIME TOGETHER WITH THE LORD AND THEY HELPED US WITH OUR DAILY CHORES. WE DEFENITELY LEARNED A LOT SPIRITUALLY. ON 9 JULY, WE ALL LEFT TOGETHER FOR RAWSONVILLE, SOUTH AFRICA, WHERE WE HAD A PRECIOUS TWO WEEKS WITH OUR CHILDREN. WE WOULD AGAIN LIKE TO THANK EVERY ONE WHO HAS COME TO VISIT US!
ON OUR WAY TO SOUTH AFRICA, WE WERE KEPT FOR 5 DAYS AT THE ZIMBABWIAN BORDER (BEITBRUG) DUE TO A VERY INCOMPETENT CLEARING AGENT. WE WERE TRANSPORTING AN ENGINE ON OUR TRAILER THAT BELONGED TO NKHOMA HOSPITAL AND HAD TO BE FIXED IN SOUTH AFRICA AND BROUGHT BACK AGAIN. FOR 4 DAYS WE WENT BACK TO HIS OFFICE WAITING PATIENTLY FOR HIM TO FINISH OUR PAPERWORK. ON FRIDAY 12HOO WE TOOK BACK OUR PAPERS AND WENT TO ANOTHER CLEARING AGENT. SATURDAY MORNING WE WERE ON OUR WAY. IT WAS A TOUGH TIME BUT WE ALSO EXPERIENCED THAT THE LORD WAS ALWAYS THERE WITH US – EVERY MINUTE OF THE DAY. WHEN WE WENT BACK TO MOZAMBIQUE IT TOOK US 8 HOURS AT BEITBRUG. WHEN WE GO BACK THE END OF THIS YEAR FOR A VISIT WE ARE GOING THROUGH PLUMTREE BOARDERPOST –THROUGH BOTSWANA. IT IS A LITTLE BIT FURTHER BUT DEFENITELY QUICKER AT THE BORDER!
PLEASE KEEP US IN YOUR PRAYERS
JANNIE AND SUSAN
WE HAD RAIN FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS AT A RATE OF 100mm PER WEEK. THE DRIZZLE IS TYPICALLY OF THE CAPE IN RSA AND IT MAKES WORK OUTSIDE VERY DIFFICULT. ROADS ARE VERY WET AND ON THE OUTREACH THE PAST WEEKEND TO BENGA, WHICH IS ABOUT 85KM FROM US, WE SUFFERED IN THE MUD . VAALJAN WAS AT ITS BEST TOWING OUT A TOYOTA WHICH IS ALSO 4X4.THE FORD TOYOTA CONFLICT AT ITS HEIGHT!
THE PASTOR AT BENGA HAS MOVED TO SONGO AT THE COHORRA BASSA DAM AND WE TOOK PART IN HIS RELEASE FROM THIS CONGREGATION. THE LIGHTNING WAS SEVERE AND A FLASH STRUCK SO NEAR TO THE CHURCH THAT 3 PEOPLE FAINTED. THANK THE LORD THAT NOBODY WAS REALY HURT IN THE PROCESS.I REALLY WONDER WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN THE SPIRITUAL WORD – I BELIEVE THE CONFLICT WAS HIGH.
GREAT THANKS GOES OUT TO THE CONGREGATION OF GOUDINI WHO DECIDED TO GIVE US SOME SUPPORT – WE PRAISE THE LORD FOR YOUR DEED OF COMMITMENT. THE PASSAGE FROM EZEKIEL 3:17-19 HAS BEEN ON OUR HEART THESE PAST WEEKS; WE HAVE A GREAT RESPONSIBILITY TOWARDS THE PEOPLE AROUND US BUT EVEN A GREATER ONE TO THE PEOPLE FAR FROM US LIVING IN THE ABSENCE OF THE GOSPEL. JESUS SENT HIS DISSIPLES OUT WITH THE GOSPEL WHICH IS THE FIRST AND FOREMOST COMMISSION OF THE CHURCH. PAUL IS THE VERY EXAMPLE OF HOW IT SHOULD BE DONE. IT IS THE ONLY WAY THAT THE END WILL FINALLY COME ACCORDING TO MATTHEW 24:14. THESE ARE THE WORDS OF THE LORD HIMSELF: AND THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM WILL BE PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD AS A WITNESS TO ALL THE NATIONS,AND THEN THE END WILL COME.[NKJV COPYRIGHT 1979.1980,1982 BY THOMAS NELSON,INC].
WE ARE HAPPY THAT OUR FRIEND WILHELM HAS ARRIVED AND WE WILL BE HAVING A FARMING GOD`S WAY TRAINIG WITH MEMBERS OF OUR CONGREGATION ON THE 11AND 12TH OF APRIL. FARMING GOD`S WAY IS AN APOSTOLIC INITIATIVE FOR PREACHING THE GOSPEL, STRENGTHENING AND PLANTING CHURCHES AND EXTENDING THE KINGDOM OF GOD WITH AN EMPHASIS ON SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE AS A MODEL FOR LIFE TRANSFORMATION OF INDIVIDUALS, COMMUNITIES AND NATIONS. [AS QUOTED FROM THE FGW MANUAL 2007].WILHELM ELS DOES TRAINING ALL OVER AFRICA AND WE ARE PRIVILEDGED TO HAVE HIM DO IT HERE. LOOKING FORWARD!!!
LOOKING BACK ON THE PAST 9 MONTH WE ARE MUCH MORE AWARE OF THE METHODS OF FARMING AND THE EFFORTS THAT ARE MADE TO CULTIVATE LAND, SOME JUST BECAUCE THEY WERE EDUCATED IN METHODS WITH NO OR LITTLE PURPOSE. WE HOPE TO GUIDE THIS ENERGY INTO MORE PURPOSEFUL ACTIVITIES WITH BETTER RESULTS.FARMING GOD’S WAY IS SUCH A TOOL AND THE METHODS ARE SIMPLE BUT VERY EFFECTIVE. EVERYTHING CHRISTIAN LIFE TEACHES IS VISIBLE IN THE METHODS AND TEACHINGS OF THIS PROGRAM AND BUILDS AND REACHES PEOPLE IN A SPECIAL WAY.
GREETINGS FROM CHANDAME WITH THIS UPDATE SO CLOSE TO THE PREVIOUS ONE BUT TIME MADE IT POSSIBLE.
JANNIE AND SUSAN SMIT, MOZAMBIQUE
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!
WHAT AN HONOUR IT IS TO HAVE TWO PARENTS WHO ARE SO OBEDIENT TO GOD’S VOICE! HOW MANY TIMES PER DAY DO WE NOT IGNORE THE VOICE OF GOD BECAUSE WE ARE EITHER TOO BUSY, TRYING TO SATISFY OUR OWN SELFISH NEEDS, TO HEAR GOD’S VOICE. TOO AFRAID TO TAKE THAT FIRST STEP IN FAITH!
LIVE YOUR CALLING… WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE, AND TRUST IN GOD FOR THE REST!
ED, AMANDA & ANDREAS (PROUD SON-IN-LAW, DAUGHTER AND GRANDSON)
(UPDATE ON WEB SITE 22 FEBRUARY 2012 CHANDAME MOZAMBIQUE)
WERE ARE BACK IN CHANDAME AFTER A VERY SATISFYING VISIT TO OUR HOME, OUR CHILDREN AND OUR GRAND CHILDREN.
WHEN WE RETURNED, OUR WORK TOOK OFF WITH A BANG, ALTHOUGH RAIN MADE IT DIFFICULT. IT RAINS DAILY FROM ABOUT 11:00 UNTIL 15H00. NORMALLY IT RAINS ABOUT 20-30MM AT A TIME, MAKING THE ROADS VERY SLIPPERY. WE HAVE, HOWEVER, ALREADY VISTED 2 PRAYERHOUSES SINCE WE ARRIVED BACK ON THE 30TH OF JANUARY 2012, THE FURTHEST OF WHICH WAS TSANGANO.
TSANGANO HAS RECEIVED A PERMANENT PASTOR, PASTOR JOACHIM, AND IS NOW A FULL CONGRAGATION. ON HIS INAUGURATION, WE PROMISED TO HELP THE CONGREGATION WITH THE TRANSPORT OF BUILDING MATERIAL TO THEIR SITE WHERE THEY WOULD START BUILDING A CHURCH. THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS NO LONGER SATISFIED WITH THE BUILDING THEY ARE HAVING THEIR SERVICES AT [SEE PHOTOS] AND TRANSPORT FOR BUILDING MATERIAL IS VERY COSTLY, SO WE HOPE TO GO WITH THE TRACTOR AND TRAILER TO DO THIS FOR THEM. IT WILL MEAN WE WILL HAVE TO DRIVE THE 70KM AND STAY OVER FOR 2 DAYS TO FINISH THE JOB.
THE CLINIC [SEE PHOTOS] IS FINALLY AT ROOF LEVEL WITH THE LAST OF THE BRICKWORK ON THE RAMPS AT THE ENTRANCE BEING FINISHED TODAY (23 FEBRUARY 2012). THE LOCAL POPULATION IS VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE PROGRESS AND THEY HAVE CLEARED THE FIELD AROUND THE CLINIC. WE WILL START TO DEVELOP THIS AREA AS A WAITING ROOM AND MAKE A COOKING SHED FOR PEOPLE TRAVELLING WITH THE PATIENTS. THE CLINIC SHOULD HOUSE 2-8 MATERNITY BEDS AND 2-4 NORMAL HOSPITAL CARE BEDS.THE BUILDING IS 230 SQUARE METERS AND HAS THE POTENTIAL OF SERVICING THE LOCAL COMMUNITY.
SUSAN IS CURRENTLY DOING BASIC FIRSTAID, AND HAS SEEN UP TO 91 PEOPLE IN ONE MORNING SINCE WE HAVE RETURNED. THE PATIENTS CONSIST MOSTLY OF MALARIA CHILDREN WITH UPSET STOMACHS, OR WOUNDS. WE HAVE MALARIA TEST-KIT`S WHICH HELPS TO MAKE ON THE SPOT DIAGNOSIS EASY. THESE KITS COST ABOUT R300.00 FOR 25 AND ARE WELL WORTH THEIR EXPENSE!
SUSAN WOULD LIKE TO SHARE THE FOLLOWING IN AFRIKAANS(FOLLOWED BY ENGLISH):
EK DINK EK IS NOU AL GOED INGEBURGER. MENS VERLANG BAIE NA DIE KINDERS EN KLEINKINDERS EN MY PA EN AL ONS FAMILIE EN VRIENDE. GELUKKIG WEET ONS DIE HERE HOU ALMAL STYF IN SY HAND. DIE HERE STAP IN ELK GEVAL MET ONS OOK ‘N PAD. ELKE DAG WORD AAN HOM OPGEDRA EN SOVER VAL ALLES IN PLEK. PARTY GOED GEBEUR NET STADIGER, MAAR DIT IS MAAR A.G.V. DIE REENWEER
I THINK WE ARE STARTING TO SETTLE IN. I MISS MY CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN AND DAD AS WELL AS ALL OF OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. LUCKILY WE KNOW THAT GOD KEEPS THEM SAFE. GOD IS WALKING A ROAD WITH US, AND EVERY DAY WE DEDICATE TO HIM. SO FAR, EVERYTHING IS WORKING OUT. CERETAIN THINGS HAPPEN SLOWER, BUT THAT IS BECAUSE OF THE HEAVY RAINFALL.
DIE INWONERS HIER IN AFRIKA IS OOR DIE ALGEMEEN BAIE DANKBAAR VIR ENIGE IETS WAT JY VIR HUL DOEN. MAAK NIE SAAK HOE GROOT OF HOE KLEIN NIE, HULLE LAG EN IS NET DANKBAAR. MENS WONDER HOE HUL EINTLIK SONDER ONS OOR DIE WEG GEKOM HET. EK DINK ONS MAAK ‘N VERSKIL DEUR GOED VIR HUL MAKLIKER TE MAAK. ELKE SONDAG VAT ONS DIE PASTOR EN VAN DIE ELDERS NA DIE DIENSTE WAT HY MOET HOU BY DIE PRAYER HOUSES. ONS VERTREK MEESTE VAN DIE TYD SO 9 UUR DIE OGGEND EN KOM SO 4 UUR NAMIDDAG WEER BY DIE HUIS. DIE PASTOR IS GEWOONLIK STOKFLOU, WANT HY MOET PREEK, DOOP, TROU, AANNEEM, VOORSTEL EN NOG NAGMAAL HOU OOK! NA DIE TYD EET ONS SAAM MET HULLE. MIELIEPAP, KARATE HOENDER OF BOK, ‘N TIPE BLAARGROENTE, KOOL EN LEKKER SLAP TJIPS… O JA EN PARTYKEER RYS OOK!
THE PEOPLE HERE IN AFRICA ARE VERY GRATEFUL FOR ANYTHING THAT YOU DO FOR THEM. IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL, THEY USUALLY JUST LAUGH AND ARE THANKFUL. I SOMETIMES WONDER HOW THEY MANAGED WITHOUT US. I THINK WE MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE BY MAKING THINGS EASIER FOR THEM, FOR INSTANCE, ON SUNDAYS, WE TAKE THE PASTOR AND ELDERS TO THE SERVICES AT THE NEARBY PRAYER HOUSES. WE LEAVE AT 09:00 AND RETURN AT ABOUT 16:00. WHEN WE RETURN, THE PASTOR IS USUALLY VERY TIRED AFTER HAVING TO PREACH, BAPTIZE, WED, KEEP COMMUNION AND MANY OTHER TASKS. UPON RETURNING, WE SHARE A MEAL TOGETHER, CONSISTING OF MIELIEPAP, KARATE CHICKEN OR GOAT, A TYPE OF GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLE, COLESLAW AND POTATO CHIPS… SOMETIMES THEY SERVE RICE ALSO!
EK IS HEEL TEVREDE EN RUSTIG HIER, WANT EK WEET EK MOET HIER WEES, EN MY GOD IS SO GROOT EN SO STERK EN SO MAGTIG, DAAR IS NIKS WAT MY GOD NIE KAN DOEN!!!!!!!
I AM VERY MUCH AT PEACE HERE, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT I MUST BE HERE, AND MY GOD IS SO BIG, STRONG AND MIGHTY, THERE IS NOTHING THAT MY GOD CAN NOT DO!!!!!!!
WE THOUGHT ABOUT ALL THE PLANNING AND SOME OF THE DREAMS WE HAD IN THE PAST ON THE WAY TO ACTUALLY COMING TO MOZAMBIQUE AS WELL AS ALL THE PROPHECIES MADE TO US IN THE PAST, AND NOW WE SEE THAT, SLOWLY BUT SURELY, WE ARE LIVING THE DREAMS AND THE PROPHECIES. ONE OF OUR PLANS WAS TO DO MISSION SUPPORT AND WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING AND INSTALL THE ENGINE OF A LADY DOING MISSIONARY WORK IN LULONGWE, THIS DREAM HAS COME TRUE. SUSAN AND I HAVE BELIEVED THAT THE RESOURCES ARE IN MOZAMBIQUE TO SUPPORT MISSION WORK AND WITH THE WORK SUPPLIED BY THE LORD IN DIFFERENT WAYS WE ARE STARTING TO EARN A SMALL INCOME THAT MAKES IT POSSIBLE WITH THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM SA TO SURVIVE AND SUPPORT OTHER PROJECTS BESIDES OUR PERSONAL NEEDS.
TO LOOK INTO GOD`S EYES FULL TIME IS THE ONLY WAY TO SURVIVE, BECAUSE HIS MANNA SHALL BE THERE EVERY DAY IF WE LIVE ACCORDING TO THIS AND BELIEVE IT WITH ALL OUR HEART.
JANNIE AND SUSAN SMIT, MOZAMBIQUE
1 OCTOBER 2011
A MESSAGE RECEIVED ON THE EVENING OF 29 AUGUST 2011 SET UP A MONTH FULL OF EVENTS – MOST OF THEM TESTING OUR FAITH TO THE LIMITS. LOOKING BACK OVER THE PERIOD WE HAVE NO ILLUSION HOWEVER THAT OUR GOD IS ALIVE AND IN CONTROL, EVEN THOUGH IT SOMETIMES FELT LIKE WE WERE ALONE.
LEAVING CHANDAME AT MIDNIGHT WITH LIMITED FUNDS WE TOOK ON THE 3,089KM, TRUSTING THE LORD FOR FUNDS. WE EXPERIENCED HIS GRACE AS HE BLESSED US THROUGH PEOPLE WHO MADE THIS POSSIBLE BY FORWARDING FUNDS TO OUR ACCOUNT. WE ARRIVED AT THE HOSPITAL WHERE SUSAN`S FATHER WAS OPERATED WITH CANCER IN HIS ABDOMEN , AT 5H45 ON WEDNESDAY 31 AUGUST.
WE HAD TO BE BACK IN CHANDAME ON 15 SEPTEMBER TO TRANSPORT THE WOMEN FROM OUR CONGREGATION AND THE OUTLYING PRAYERHOUSES TO MAPATSA, A CONGREGATION 60KM FROM US IN THE PRESBETERY. PA FLIP WAS NOT RECOVERING SO FAST AND SUSAN AND I MADE THE DECISION THAT I WOULD LEAVE AND SHE WOULD STAY BEHIND TO SEE TO HIS RECOVERY AND DISMISSAL FROM HOSPITAL TO THE OLD AGE HOME.
HEAVILY LOADED WITH IMPLEMENTS FOR MY TRACTOR DONATED BY CALLA BOTHA AND WIT PIET, I DEPARTED FROM RAWSONVILLE ON SUNDAY 11 SEPT AT 03:00 IN THE MORNING. MY ROUTE WOULD BE JOHANNESBURG, MAPUTO, CHIMOIO, TETE AND THEN FINALLY CHANDAME.
I REACHED MEYERTON WITH A LEFT REAR SPRING WICH SNAPPED 300METERS FROM MY DESTINATION. I STAYED AT JAN AND ANNEMARIE, WHO TREATED ME WELL (MANY THANKS!) AND, AFTER RECEIVING THE REPAIRED LEAFSPRING THE MONDAY AFTERNOON 4H00, WE REPAIRED VAALJAN AND I LEFT THE NEXT MORNING FOR MAPUTO.
ON MY WAY TO NELSPRUIT, I HEARD A WHEELBEARING AND STOPPED AT FORD WHERE MY RIGHT FRONT BEARING WAS REPLACED. AT THE POINT OF DEPARTURE FROM THE GARAGE, I WAS ALREADY IN MY BAKKIE TO GO WHEN A MAN DREW MY ATTENTION TO A ROPE WHICH WAS LOOSE ON THE LOAD. WHILE HE WAS KEEPING ME BUSY WITH THE FASTENING OF THE ROPE, HIS PARTNER IN CRIME STOLE MY LAPTOP OUT OF THE VEHICLE FROM UNDER MY NOSE. WITH POWER RECEIVED ONLY FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT, I ASKED GOD TO FORGIVE THEM, AS THEY KNEW NOT WHAT THE HAVE DONE. WITH POWERS ABOVE MY OWN I PROCEEDED TO THE BORDER AND ON MY JOURNEY, KEEPING MY FOCUS ON THE WORK AT HAND. WHAT I WAS DOING WAS NOT ME BUT SOMEBODY ELSE – EVEN A FRIEND WHEN I SPOKE TO HIM ON THE TELEPHONE ABOUT THE INCIDENT AND THE PEACE I WAS EXPERIENCING FROM THE LORD ASKED ME WHETHER I HADN`T BEEN IN THE SUN TOO LONG.
AS USUAL, THE BORDER WAS MISERABLE, AND AFTER MAKING IT THROUGH I DROVE TO MAIXIXE, WERE I STOPPED AT 11H30 FOR THE NIGHT. EXCEPT FOR FORGETTING MY TWO CUSHIONS AT JOLLY ROGER, EVERYTHING WENT WELL UNTIL THE AFTERNOON 17H00 WHEN MY RIGHT REAR WHEELBEARING COLLAPSED. LUCKILY, I HAD ENOUGH TIME TO PULL OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. THIS HAPPENED 40KM SOUTH OF CATANDICA ON THE 102 TO TETE. I PHONED DIRK IN VILA ULONGWE, WHO WENT OUT OF HIS WAY TO HELP ME, AND HE REACHED ME THE FOLLOWING EVENING 17HOO. WITHIN 1 HOUR WE WERE ON OUR WAY, DIRK AND I IN MY VEHICLE AND PASQUAL AND SORBE IN THE OTHER VEHICLE. OUR JOY LASTED FOR 150KM WHEN SUDDENLY THE LEFT REAR SIDESHAFT CAME OUT, DESTROYED THE BACKPLATE AND SENT THE TYRE AND SIDESHAFT INTO THE BUSHES. THE ABSENCE OF THE PARTS LEFT THE LEFT OF THE LOADBOX WITH A LOT OF DAMAGE. I MANAGED TO CONTROL THE BAKKIE – DON’T BE MISTAKEN, THE LORD KEPT US SAFE, BUT IT TOOK US THE BEST PART OF TWO HOURS TO GET GOING AGAIN. WE SEARCHED FOR THE WHEEL IN THE DARK BUT WITH A VERY HIGH EMBANKMENT ON THE LEFT OF THE ROAD WE COULDN`T FIND IT. WHEN WE REACHED THE STAGE WHERE WE HAD TO FORGET THE WHEEL, I WAS JUST ACROSS FROM THE VEHICLES ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE WE ALL WALKED AND SEARCHED AND HERE THE WHEEL WAS LYING ON THE SHOULDER.WHEN PASQUAL HEARD MY JOY HE SAID SOMEONE PUT IT THERE, AND I FELT THE SAME BECAUSE WE ALL PRAYED THAT THE LORD WOULD SHOW US THE WHEEL. HE DID MORE, HE PLACED IT WHERE WE COULD FIND IT!
WE REACHED CHANDAME THE FOLLOWING MORNING AT 4H00, RECEIVED BY KOBUS AND CHARMAINE BEUKES WHO CAME TO VISIT US FROM LUABO WHERE THEIR MISSIONS AS STANDING SIDE BY SIDE MINISTRIES. DIRK AND HIS PARTY LEFT AND I SLEPT UNTIL 8HOO AND ENJOYED THE COMPANY.
PRAISE THE LORD WILLEM LIEBENBERG SENT A LOT OF MEDICINE WITH ME SO THEY COULD TAKE THEIR STOCK THAT WAS ALSO BADLY NEEDED IN LUABO. THIS WAS NOT THE END OF THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS. THE WATERPROJECT WAS IN A SHAMBLES AND A FIRE NEARLY DESTROYED OUR CAMP THE FOLLOWING THURSDAY JUST AS WE RAN OUT OF WATER. THANKS TO GOUDINI BRANDBLUSSERS WHO SERVICE OUR EXTINGUISHER EVERY YEAR, IT WAS PERFECTLY SERVICEABLE WHEN I NEEDED IT TO CONTAIN THE FIRE.
EVERYTHING STARTED TO NORMALISE AND I REALISED I COULDN`T KEEP ON RUNNING THE CLINIC EVERY MORNING AND GET MY WORK DONE. SUSAN HAN TO COME HOME AND SHE DID. SHE SENT ME AND SMS SAYING SHE ASKED THE LORD TO FLY ON THE 29TH OF SEPTEMBER TO ME AND THE BODY OF CHRIST STOOD UP TO THE CHALLENGE – SHE HAD ENOUGH MONEY FOR THE FLIGHT AND POCKETMONEY AS WELL, ARRIVING WITH A NEW LAPTOP DONATED BY STEFAAN AND RONELLE VAN EEDEN.THANKS TO EVERYBODY WHO DONATED! YOU WOULDN’T BE ABLE TO KNOW HOW MUCH IT MEANS!
THE WOMEN`S MEETING WHICH I RUSHED TO TO TRANSPORT ON THE 15TH OF SEPTEMBER WAS A GREAT SUCCESS. I WAS IN TIME TO TRANSPORT THEM BACK ON THE SUNDAY WITH THE TRACTOR. A TOTAL OF 680 WOMAN ATTENDED THE MEETING. THE SUNDAY I SPENT 8 HOURS ON THE TRACTOR BUT EVERYTHING WENT VERY WELL. IT WAS ALSO THE MONTH IN WHICH THE LORD OPENED A SOURCE OF INCOME THAT WE HADN`T THOUGHT OF. PEOPLE STARTED ASKING FOT TRANSPORT OF POTATOES TO THE MARKET. THE VOLUMES INCREASED AND I AM BUSY NOW WITH THIS EVERY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY MORNING. CHANDAME IS MARKETING BETWEEN 30 AND 50 TONS OF POTATOES EVERY WEEK. THESE POTATOES ARE BOUGHT BY BUYERS AS FAR AS BEIRA, CHIMOIO AND MAPUTO. AGRICULTURE IN CHANDAME IS GROWING AND I THINK WE HAVE POTENTIAL FOR INCREASED PRODUCTION IN EVERY FIELD.
WE HAVE ALSO STARTED A WELL WATERED GARDEN AS TAUGHT BY FARMING GOD`S WAY TO BE A DEMO FOR TEACHING THE FARMERS THE SYSTEM. WILHELM ELS, A FRIEND OF MINE WHO TEACHES THIS PROGRAM ALL OVER AFRICA, ALSO VISITED US AND WE DISCUSSED THE PRODUCTION OF OPEN POLLINATED SEED ON THE FARM WE WANT TO DEVELOP. THIS WOULD MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR FARMERS TO GET GOOD SEED WHICH IS REUSEABLE EVERY YEAR. THE SELECTION OF PLANTS COULD BE DONE BY ME IN THIS SEASON ALREADY.
SUSAN AND I REALIZE THAT, YES, WE ARE DOING MISSION SUPPORT. JUST BEING AVAILABLE HERE IS ALREADY MAKING A DIFFERENCE TO THE CONGREGATION AND THE COMMUNITY. WE DON`T DIFFERENCIATE BETWEEN THE TWO, WE ACT WHERE WE ARE NEEDED. JUST AS THE SON OF MAN HAS COME TO SERVE AND NOT TO BE SERVED, WE SHOULD DO ALSO. HE SAID WE SHOULD BECOME LIKE HIM MORE AND MORE.
WE ASK THAT YOU KEEP US IN YOUR PRAYERS.
GOD BLESS YOU THE READER IN JESUS NAME.
AMEN

23 AUGUST 2011
A MONTH HAS PASSED AND WE ARE HAPPY WITH OUR PROGRESS. ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS TO BE SLOW SOME DAYS, WE LEARNED THAT THE LORD`S TIME IS NOT OUR TIME. AS ANGUS BUCHAN HAS MENTIONED MANY TIMES, WAIT ON THE LORD, MAKE TIME FOR HIM AND WAIT ON THE LORD!!! THIS DOESN`T MEAN WE MUST ONLY SIT BACK BUT INSTEAD THAT WE MUST ADVANCE AS HE LEADS. GET OUT OF THE BOAT AND KEEP YOUR EYE ONLY ON HIM!
WE INCLUDED A FEW PHOTOS THAT TELLS A STORY OF SOME OF OUR ACTIVITIES.
THE WATER PROJECT NOW CONSIST OF 10 WATERPOINTS OVER A DISTANCE OF 2KM. THE FURTHEST THAT WE SUPPLY A POINT, IS 4,7KM FROM THE SOURCE. MAINTENANCE IS CONSTANTLY NEEDED, BUT THE LORD SUPPLIES THE RESOURCES. OUT OF NOWHERE I FOUND CONNECTORS AMOUNG MY FITTINGS AND THEY WERE DEFENITLY NOT THERE THE PREVIOUS DAY!
Water project needs constant maintenance
Two additional taps added
VAALJAN OUR FORD HAS DONE 333,000KM AND ALSO NEEDED SOME ATTENTION. THANKS TO WILLEM DE VILLIERS, I RECEIVED THE NECESSARY PARTS VIA AIR COURIER, AND COULD FIT THE UPPER CONTROL ARM BUSHES. BEING OUR ONLY BAKKIE IT IS RATHER INPORTANT FOR HER TO RUN!
Vaaljans upper control arm bushes shot
THE PHOTO OF THE CHILD THAT BURNED IN A FIRE AGAIN STRESSES THE IMPORTANCE OF THE CLINIC TO BE FINISHED. WE ARE CURRENTLY ONLY ABLE TO DO FIRST AID, AND WE REALLY DON`T NOW WHAT THE PATIENTS DO IN THE ABSENCE OF THE CARE THAT WE PROVIDE AT THE MOMENT. WE’RE WAITING ON FUNDS BUT BELIEVE THAT THE PROJECT HAS DEVELOPED FAR ENOUGH THAT WE WILL FINISH IT.
Young girl we treated for burns
FROM THE 28TH OF AUGUST, SISTER HELEN MEYER FROM SOUTH AFRICA, ACCOMPANIED BY A TEAM OF VOLUNTARY EYE SPCIALISTS (ALSO FROM SOUTH AFRICA) HAS A CLINIC FOR THE WEEK WHERE CATARACTS WILL BE REMOVED AND OTHER EYE PROBLEMS DIAGNOSED.
IN THIS PHOTO, HELEN IS BUSY EVALUATING A POSSIBLE CANDIDATE FOR TREATMENT. WE WILL TAKE ALL CANDIDATES TO VILA ULONGWE ON THE 28TH OF AUGUST TO BE TREATED.
Sister Helen evaluating a patient for cataract treatment
PRAISE THE LORD THAT THESE PEOPLE WILL SEE PROPERLY AGAIN! THANK YOU HELEN, YOUR HEART HAS BEEN IN THE MISSION WORK WITH DEDICATION.
LASTLY, TO DO THE WORK OF THE LORD MEANS TO BE ATTENTIVE OF HIS PRESENCE EVERY MINUTE OF THE DAY. ALSO, IF ANY OPPORTUNITY ARISES IT MUST BE NOTICED AND USED.
Visuals important in preaching
IN OUR DAILY WORK, WE TRY TO USE THE OPPORTUNITIES AND MAKE TIME TO DEAL WITH SITUATIONS IN SPITE OF PERSONAL CIRCUIMSTANCES. TO ALL PEOPLE THAT SUPPORT US, WE THANK YOU, AND MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU ALL.

WE LEFT FOR MOZAMBIQUE ON THE 29TH OF JUNE, ACCOMPANIED BY CALLA AND HETTA BOTHA AS WELL AS WILLEM DE VILLIERS OF OUR CONGREGATION IN GOUDINI. GOD HAS BEEN WITH US EVERY STEP OF THE WAY, AS WE HAD SOME EXTENSIVE TRAVELLING TO DO!
WE FIRSTLY ARRIVED IN CAOXE, 8KM BEFORE LUABO, TO FETCH OUR TRACTOR AND TRAILER. ON ARRIVAL, WILLEM AND I (JANNIE) REPAIRED THEIR 5640`S 4×4 WITH THE CORRECT PARTS, SUPPLIED BY BOLAND AGRI OF WORCESTER (COURTESY OF INFO SUPPLIED BY JAN OF RCL TREKKERDIENSTE OF PATENSIE – THANKS JAN FOR THE MANUAL THAT YOU SENT ME!)
WITH 500KM LEFT TO TRAVEL, WE LEFT IN HIGH SPIRITS, THE ROUTE BEING MOPEIA ZERO FIRST, THEN MORRUMBALA, MUTARARA AND DOA ON TO THE 103 LEADING EAST TO MALAWI, AFTER WHICH TURNING OFF 10KM BEFORE ZOBUE ON THE 223 FOR 62KM TO OUR DESTINATION, CHANDAME [S15,8952 DEGREES, E34,3118753 DEGREES].
WE HAD TO SLEEP OVER WHEREVER WE CAME, ASKING THE LORD FOR GUIDANCE. HE SUPPLIED SAFE POSITIONS EVERY NIGHT.
SLEEPING OVER FOR THREE NIGHTS AND DOING 130 – 150 KM PER DAY, WE COMPLETED THE JOURNEY WITH NOT EVEN A FLAT TYRE, EVEN THOUGH THE ROAD WAS VERY BAD, ESPECIALLY FROM DOA TO THE 103. A SPECIAL THANKS TO HETTA AND SUSAN, THE ONLY 2 WOMEN ON THE TRIP, FOR THEIR ENDURANCE – BEING IN THE BUSH FOR 4 DAYS ON DUSTY ROADS, RAIN DURING THE END OF THE TRIP AND ABLUTION IN THE BUSH TAKES SOME DOING!

The date has finally arrived, and by the Grace of God we are permanently moving to Chandame on the 29th of June 2011!
We are currently still in the final stages of packing and preparing, and will be accompanied by fellow Christians Calla and Hetta Botha, Paul and Maritha Maarten, Willem de Villiers and Chris Jonker for approximately two weeks, after which we will be settling in our caravan at Chandame.
One of our first priorities will be finishing the clinic, which is ready to accept a roof. This 230 square metre building will be run as a clinic for the local community. Funds are badly needed for this project, but we believe that the Lord will supply, as He has done in the past. Outbuildings for the residential sister and supporting staff are still to be built.
Our current water project, which supplies about 15,000 people with fresh, running water, also needs some maintenance, an additional filtration system and further expansion, as the above mentioned clinic and local community relies primarily on this fresh water source.
Our main priority however still remains the spreading of the Gospel, as well as missionary support. We ask for your prayers in the above and praise God for this opportunity
Be Blessed
Jannie and Susan Smit
