As you pray -17 May 2009

My dear friends

Today our thoughts are a lot with CFT-Switzerland as they will be holding their Annual General Meeting (AGM) this afternoon.

Our hearts go out to Hanna Ziegler, the children, the whole Spatzenhof family and the Lindach brethren. Our brother Norbert Ziegler was buried on Friday. He leaves behind a big gap in his family and in the Lord's work.

For us, another untimely death.

Do we understand?
Do we need to understand?
We bow and worship.

Detlef and Loretta Stegen together with their sons, Simon and Danilo, came by on their way to Romania. They have to see to some preparations for the wedding of Simon and Andrea in Voiteg this coming weekend. More members of the family are due to fly over this week. They will value your prayers.

Greetings from Lionel Roosemont in Belgium. He says that they are looking forward to the Ascension Day service with Onkel Friedel in Watou, Belgium, on Thursday.

Lionel also requests prayers for his trip to Virginia and Washington, USA, towards the end of the week. He will be giving an address at The International Symposium on Euthanasia.

Mario Rocha has sent a message from Zavora Clinic in Mozambique where he is helping to finalise things for the clinic to start operating. 

The CEO of Doctors for Life, Dr Albu van Eeden, and some DFL friends travelled to Mozambique last week for the dedication of the clinic which took place on Friday. 

Mario requests that we pray on for Zavora. Bureaucratic red-tape is delaying some important registrations.  

We shall also be thinking of Thomas Maphanga and Tobie Vermaak as they will be visiting Carlos Vilanculos and the ministry in Mozambique. 

The TNT team is thankful for a blessed campaign in the East Rand, Gauteng.

Here is an excerpt from TNT's report:

"Last week's TNT outreach to the East Rand went very well. We had about +15 appointments and addressed over 6 000 people. The meetings included church groups, primary and high schools...

The schools were very impressed with the message and thankful to hear the truth in such a clear way. We were once again able to not only warn about the dangers of drugs and addiction, but preach the Gospel boldly. Most schools that we visited were Afrikaans. Please pray for those who came out for advice, prayer and others who said that they were encouraged by the message." 

It was good to hear from George Ochse. He and a team from Moreson in the Western Cape were ministering in Oudtshoorn in the Eastern Cape. George was thankful for all the doors that opened. May the Lord bless the seed of His word further.

 

Sanet de Wet requested that we pray for the services with Tannie Santa Snyman at Moreson.

We are thankful for the successful Radio Khwezi AGM yesterday. The atmosphere was lovely.

Take my life

'Take my life and let it be' by Frances R Havergal. What a song. What a prayer.

"Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days; let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands, and let them move at the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet, and let them be swift and beautiful for Thee."

 

Have a blessed week.
 
Pressing on!
 
In His love
