OUR NEWS: JANUARY – MARCH 2015

We again had spent a special holiday with children, grandchildren, family and friends.  We always felt blessed and we left for Mozambique with great courage and joy to come and work for the Kingdom of God!  We were also blessed with another grandchild on 21 January 2015, when Alexander Daniel De Kock was born in South Korea. We now have 5 lovely grandchildren! Although we couldn’t be with our children when Alexander was born, we know that God was there and thank Him that all went well. On the 26th of January 2015, we attended the Mission Convention in Paarl, where we learned from the other missionaries. We praised and worshipped and we went home with the knowledge that you must go back to the basics – focus on God, He only wants the best for you! We arrived at Chandame on the 6th of February 2015, and were again welcomed with lots of flowers and lots of happy people!  Our garden looked wonderful – everthing was  green and the flowers were beautiful. You could also see that it was a rainy season during November, December, January up until end of April. We brought back some Sandveld potato seeds that we planted here on Chandame to multiply and use for  future planting (a special thank you to Henk van Zyl of Leipoldtville in South Africa for the gift).This will be our first attempt to produce seeds and the start of our dream to do all types of seeds which are […]

At one stage, even our Pastor let us know to evacuate and leave for the border, fearing for our safety. We were afraid and unsure of what to do, so we started praying.  Jannie received the vision of a burning candle in the dark. Where it stood, there was light. When you took the candle away, there was darkness.  So we decided to stay and all went well. Looking back, we are thankful to the Lord for keeping us safe in difficult times, and praise Him for showing us the way where we were uncertain. Life in our caravan became challenging, so we started to build a bedroom with a bathroom next to our current outdoor kitchen. We also modified the kitchen by putting in a concrete floor and replacing the wooden walls with brick walls and a proper door.  We are very excited about the new development, and can’t wait to move into our room. We have been sleeping in a caravan for 3 and half years! We also visited some prayer houses. On 2nd November 2014 we visited a prayer house called Chiputi 2.  Our scripture was John 5 v 1-15 and 1 Pete 1 v 5 (“…..who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation […]
