As you pray -18 May 2008

Many of you must have shared our joy when you heard that Onkel Erlo stood behind the KwaSizabantu pulpit again after months of illness that kept him away from us. Today we were blessed again by his powerful sermon on the Holy Spirit.

This morning Kai Knieper spoke for us when he said how glad he was that both Onkel Erlo and Onkel Friedel in the service. Onkel Friedel was overflowing with gratitude and praise to God for 'bringing Onkel Erlo back to us. There were other spontaneous voices too which joined in the impromptu thanksgiving session.

We thank God that Onkel Friedel and Tante Rita are back safely from their five-week trip in Europe. Onkel Friedel shared with us about his main theme on this tour - God's glory.

Thank you for the prayers for Radio Khwezi's AGM yesterday. It was indeed a lovely meeting, with a relaxed atmosphere.

From Moreson in the Western Cape Sanet de Wet requests prayers for a visit and services they are looking forward to. They expect Tannie Esther Bornman on Tuesday, 20 May.

Sanet will also appreciate your prayers for the services she is due to take; in the United Reformed Church on Wednesday and in the local hospital on Thursday.

Greetings from Mario Rocha. He is thankful for prayers for Doctors for Life's Zavora Clinic Project in Mozambique in which he is very involved. In spite of obstacles along the way He sees God's hand at work.

Dutch DFL friend, Gerrit Jan Vierhuizen, returned to Zavora from the Netherlands on Tuesday to continue with the second phase of the construction.

Mario also requests prayers for a trip to Europe. Earlier last week He joined George Ochse, Vincent Nkwambi and a group of brethren from the Eastern Cape who are visiting KwaSizabantu Centres in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany and Romania. Jan de Bruin is the main organiser on the European side.

Peet Botha and Gideon greeted from Nebraska in the USA. Gideon flies back to South Africa tomorrow via Paris for a brief visit with his family and the brethren. Peet flew to Sacramento, California, yesterday for a further week of ministry before returning home. Let us remember our brothers.
