Early in the morning at the House of Hope

November 29th, 2018|

Early in the morning at the House of Hope Every morning kids in The House of Hope begin their day with prayers and studying Bible. For each of them, that is an opportunity to start your day in a right way dedicating it to the Lord. It’s so good to see the open hearts of boys and girls! All kids aim to study Bible and assimilate the values that leaders invest in them. Previously, they spent the morning in a completely different way, but here, in the House of Hope, their morning begins not only with physical, but also with spiritual food. The lives of many biblical heroes demonstrate that they got up early in the morning and talked with the Lord. A special example for us is Jesus Christ, about whom it is repeatedly written: “Early in the morning, while it was still dark, he

A letter from Dave & Margurita

November 19th, 2018|

A letter from Dave & Margurita Our Dear Friends, May we ask you to stand with us in prayer, and help if you are able, for the urgent needs that the Orphans whom we support in Eastern Europe have right now. We have many teenage orphans needing to finish work-related courses to enable them to prepare to enter the workforce when they turn 18 this year. Some have completed their courses and are looking for work, and many still have 7 months to go until May 2019 for their longer courses to be completed. This enables them to get better jobs and apprenticeships to start earning an income. If they don’t have these opportunities available to them, there is a strong possibility that they might live on the streets. The consequences of this will most likely push them into activities where their futures are bleak and

Update from Cologne

Update from Cologne  We trust that you are well and enjoying God's rich blessings at this time.I wanted to share with you some exciting news that has been happening amongst the Russian Jewish people in Cologne, Germany. You know that I was in Germany in September conducting seminars to equip the believers in Russian Church in Cologne where my Russian manager, Sasha, had taken over the oversight of the church. He found that the congregation was 95% Jewish – from Russia and Eastern Europe. He invited me to come and equip them in evangelism using the gifts of the Holy Spirit – there is nothing like a prophetic word or healing, that shakes a cynical, sceptical Jewish person.We had a marvelous weekend with 4 training sessions on Saturday, where they were very vocal, interrupting and shouting out questions – just like in a synagogue, which they were used

Sweet weekend in Ireland and final weekend of September in Deal, England

October 16th, 2018|

Sweet weekend in Ireland and final weekend of September in Deal, England Arranged by an Irish Methodist minister & his wife (Clifford and Ruth Taylor) whom I met when he was pastoring the Methodist Church in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. I conducted two missions in that church to people of that needy city in 1983-84. It was great meeting up with Denis and Marie Dowling. Denis had been the All-Ireland President of the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship in the 1980s. From 1982 to 1987 I was so privileged to travel to Ireland from South Africa every 6 months to minister the gospel in Catholic schools and parishes across Ireland and Northern Ireland. The weekend in Ireland had 2 wonderful meetings – one in Kilkenny, Ireland to people who were not attending the organised churches but had come to Christ and were seeking to know him more intimately. It was

Glorious meetings with Russian Jews in Cologne, Germany ~ September 2018 I had the blessing of our granddaughter Niamh accompany me to Cologne in mid-September where we had glorious meetings with these Russian Jews. On Friday and Saturday, the four sessions of teaching and equipping in Evangelism, in the power of the Holy Spirit to reach the unchurched, went exceptionally well. On Sunday afternoon we enjoyed a very sweet service with the Russian Jewish people. Pastors from three other churches were there too, who’d had their services in the morning. They have invited me to their churches on the next visit to Cologne. These people brought family  members   and   friends   to the meeting and there was a wonderful response, with many coming to a vital faith the Lord Jesus. Praise the Lord for His kindness. Niamh did so well, working with me. The Russian teenagers gravitated to her, including
