Nuus van Johan en Enna Dames van Mosambiek.

 Goeie more liefste vriende en familie in Jesus Christus ♥️🛐...

Redelike tydjie trug wat ek van ons laat hoor het, maar hulle sê mos: 

"geen nuus, goeie nuus"..

Soos my ou Pappie altyd gesê het..."Gelukkig weet die Vader waar julle bly, hy kan maar net bid"🙇🏼‍♀️

Dit is alweer baie warm hier. Die weer het so vinnig verander, voor ons nog ñ lekker koel windjie kon geniet, brand die son alweer jou kierangs uit!! Ons bid vir reën ook, en weet dat Vader op Sy tyd ons sal genadig wees. Die water raak minder, en ons moet meer spaarsamig werk, maar die dors bly nie weg nie💁🏼‍♀️

Met ons gesondheid is ons oorgee aan God se genade en Jesus is ons Geneesheer en ons Verlosser!! Elke dag begin ons met die aantrek van "Sy Wapenrusting" 

en ons bid die "Vrug van die Gees" oor ons lewens. Daarom kan ons nie anders as om te sê 'dit gaan goed'... God se genade is genoeg!!

Met die geestelike werk gaan dit ook goed. Ons is mos maar net hier as instrumente in Vader se Hand! Hy lei en ons beweeg. Die dorpie het nog nie heeltemal toestemming gegee sodat Johan met die "Hart of men" daar kan ingaan nie, maar ons vertrou dit sal spoedig gebeur.🛐

Verlede Sondag kry ons ñ nuwe besoeker, Roque DeAlmeira...(klink of van Portugese afstam)...maar baie bekend met die Koran en vra groot vrae oor hoekom Jesus vir ons gekom het, en word nie in die Koran genoem nie..🤷🏼‍♀️

Hy kom elke Sondag en is baie baie geintreseerd en ons bid en vra vir ñ oorgawe!! "Asb Jesus, help Roque om te verstaan dat Jesus vir ons almal gesterf het en dat Hy wél opgestaan het"!! 

Gister was hier weer ñ nuweling. Jalia Jalia. Hy bring ñ ou Bybel van hom saam en sê dat iemand anders in Jesus se plek gesterf het👀, hy wil weet waar staan dit in die Woord, dat dit Jesus was wat gesterf het en waar staan dat hy opgestaan het...

Daar was groot geselse gister, en was ons nie gestuur deur die Vader nie, sou ons nie antwoorde kon gee en wys nie. Jalia gaan weer kom, want hy het nou ñ nuwe Bybel waar hy gewys is waar Jesus die Seun van God is en dat Hy vir ons gesterf het en wél opgestaan net. Dis sulke dinge wat gebeur wat ons harte laat oorloop van vreugde en weet dat ons hier nodig is!! 

Oudword of nie, jy kan!! Jy kan, met my Here spring ek oor ñ muur, met my God storm ons ñ bende!!

Fil.4:13..."ek is tot alles in staat deur Hom wat my krag gee"!!

Fil.3:7..."en die vrede van God wat alle verstand te bowe gaan, sal oor julle harte en gesagtes die wag hou in Jesus Christus".

Die laaste tyd het my verlang na ons kinders en families al meer en baie groot geraak😥nou bid ek die dae verby, sodat ons net ñ biki kan wegbreek en kuier. So, ons tyd raak nou kort. Soos ons beplaning is, sal ons seker die 2de week in Desember begin ry. 😳DV 5dae en nagte op die pad wees, maar ons weet dat Vader ons vooruitgaan en ons met elke nuwedag se breek, inwag!!

Gebedsversoeke:

Dat Vader, in Sy Almag, Homself sal openbaar aan hierdie mense en hulle harte en verstand sal aanraak, om Jesus te leer ken.

Vir ons gesondheid,  asook ons voorbereiding vir ons vertrek.

Vir ons water kwessie, dat Vader ons gebede sal hoor en voorsien.

Ons kinders en 

kleintjies, vir beskerming en ook hul gesondheid. 

Vir Roque en Jalia, dat Jesus hulle sal aanraak en hulle n oorgawe maak.

Bid ook vir ds Willem Louw van Potch. Vir volkome geneesing!

Dankie-sê:

Vader se sorg, Sy getrouheid, Sy voorsiening, Sy liefde en beskerming.

Vir elkeen wat ons dienste bywoon, dat hulle ook Jesus se liefde soos ons sal ervaar.

God se genade wat altyd genoeg is.

Dankie vir vrede en vreugde met hierdie mense.

Dankie vir elkeen wat vir ons bid, finansies voorsien en geselsies.

Ons bid vir elkeen van julle Num.6:24-26 toe: 

" Die Here sal julle seën en beskerm, 

Die Here sal tot julle redding verskyn en julle genadig wees, 

Die Here sal julle gebede verhoor en aan julle vrede gee!"

Ons is lief vir julle, ons bid ook vir elkeen van julle.

Liefde en groete in Jesus ons Heer en Meester 🛐🙏🏼🫂

Julle onthou die vinger van die dogtertjie 'n paar maande terug. Sy het verlede week kom wys; dis nou gesond.

Ons het weer na 'n baie lang tyd 'n papwiel in Pemba by die petroilstasie. Goedheid van Vader dat ander ons kon help.

 Johan Meintjes uiteindelik in Kisangani, DRK - Bly bid vir al sy uitdagings en projekte.

 Sy nuutste nuus op  Vrydag 4 Oktober... 

Soos u wat op die WhatsApp Groep die nuus volg, is Johan Meintjes reeds by sy bestemming in Kisangani in die DRK. 

Hy skryf vandag....

Goeiemôre vriende, Ek mis julle teenwoordigheid. Sal mettertyd my Kongoriviersending status quo onderling voorhou vir konsultasie en gebed. 

Kon nog níe 'n skootrekenaar ordentlik maak werk. Kragtoevoer 'n werklike probleem! Het Klein "solar generator". Lug dikwels toegetrek met so 'n grys tropiese wolkbedekking. Die muskiete roep saans, snag en met sonop all hulle vriende om aan die mundele te kom proe! Onder 'n muskietnet (wat lugsirkulasie beperk) moet jy níe iewers aan die net raak nie. Dáár byt die muskiete jou raak! 

Besig om uit te pak en in te rig so goed mens kan in hierdie omstandighede van verval, isolasie, "deep resentment against whites", apatie en trauma. Die twee gesinne hier gaan uit hul pad uit om my in te rig. Een gesinshoof is 'n invoer/ uitvoer agent en een 'n mediese dokter. 'n Ouer Seun is besig met honeurs in Agronomy en gee klasse by 'n Universiteit. 

Ek probeer my oor herinstel op die "kommunikasiegeluide". Hulle skakel vinnig oor tussen Frans, Swahili en Lingala. Almal het 'n persoonlike verwagting van die muzungu (mundele). Gesprek-voer is deel van die "ministry of presence". Reënseisoen in die DRK en Kisangani is modder-trap. Die Nuwe  streekhoof van die CBFC Northern Congo River Region (Rev Emmanuel Kapenza) is in Kinshasa vir 'n kongres tot volgende week. Maar hy het reeds my CV en Missie voor hom danksy Diaken Jean Marc.

Oor sy situasie by hulle huis in Kameeldrift waar sy vrou woon en die groot brand, skryf hy... 

Hier is 'n foto van die "Geskroeide Aarde" daar by Marí. Sy sê die huis en kaste ruik steeds na rook en roet. Hulle het Ouma laasnaweek na enkel woonstel getrek daar in die versorgingsvillage. 

Met dank en seënwense. Johan

**************************

Ek herhaal sy Dringende Versoek van vroeër: Ek het steeds minder as R1 500 steun per maand. Moet by R10 - R20K p/m uitkom om myself volhoubaar instand te hou. Verblyf, maaltye, brandstof, klein uitgawes soos Boda-bodas (motorfiets taxis), basiese diplomasie (vir iemand koffie of koeldrank koop tydens afsprake) toiletware, strykhulp, wasgoed en basiese uitreikmomentum.

PDH!

Vriende, as jy gelei voel om juis nou 'n belegging te maak, gee ek hiermee sy Kontak en Bank inligting...

Epos-Brief 19 Augustus 2024 

Hendrik van Didasko skryf ... 

Hallo Chris

Ek het nou net gekyk na die videos. Re: Die Sendingtaak van die Kerk - Ons Plan - Join Ons... (Kyk by... https://youtu.be/bZbNULGZIEM?si=GZiLycnGc5vWmKJ7 )

Ek deel julle frustrasie! Dit altyd my hart gebreek om in plekke rond te loop waar daar nie 'n enkele Christen is nie. Ons het al mense in sulke plekke gevra of hulle weet wie Jesus is. Een het bv. geantwoord "Woon hy hier naby?" En as ons dit deel in kerke lyk niemand eintlik onaangeraak. Soort van "wat het dit met my te doen?" Dis so hartseer.

Ek stel belang in julle aanlyn WMM-Expo.  

(Kyk by https://koninkryksfokus.blogspot.com/p/world-evangelisation-expo.html)

Miskien kan julle 'n link sit na Didasko Missions Academy toe? Ons beginners reeks, Discovering Missions, is juis daarop gemik om Christene en kerke te mobiliseer. Ons het fasiliteerders wat dit al by baie kerke aangebied het, maar mens kan dit op jou eie tempo aanlyn ook doen. 

Die reeks bestaan uit The Bible and Missions, Missions 101, en My Role in Missions. 

Gaan kyk gerus by https://www.dasko.org/courses/discovering-missions. 

The Bible and Missions is 'n oorsig van die Groot Opdrag in die Bybel, en My Role in Missions vertel vir Christene dat nie almal noodwendig sendingveld toe moet gaan nie (maar dat eintlik moet baie meer mense!), maar dat daar heelwat ander rolle is wat hulle kan speel om die saak vorentoe te neem.

Ek het al grapsgewys vir mense gesê dat ek dink dat sending mobilisering moeiliker is as om Moslems in 'n Moslem gemeenskap te probeer bereik.

Sterkte met julle projek. Mag die Here baie vrugte bring op julle werk.

Groete en liefde,

Hendrik

DIDASKO -MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN BURKINA FASO

We are so excited to share the following testimony with you: "The first Didasko Bible and Missions course in Burkina Faso, West Africa, stirred the hearts of over 30 young people for frontier missions amongst the unreached people groups (UPGs). There was a heartfelt moment when the group was crying out in prayer for more workers in the harvest". Developing free, online, video-based training for anyone, anywhere. ______________________________________________________________________

Disciple Making Movement (DMM) Training - in the USA

Preparing more effective Kingdom workers ...

The last two months have been very exciting for us, because we have been training people at our church in DMM principles. We had been praying that we could have opportunities to minister face-to-face, not just online through our courses, and God answered that prayer in spades!

A few weeks ago, we taught them about the different kinds of people they might encounter when they talk to people: people of peace, that is people who are open for spiritual conversation; the distractors, people who are friendly but not open for spiritual things - they are most likely to waste your time and distract you from finding the people of peace; then there are the resistors, who are people that might be atheists, agnostics, or people with religious spirits who could be aggressive towards Christians; lastly there are the connectors, people who may or may not be interested in spiritual things, but who are quite willing to lead you to others who might be interested.

Afterwards, we had a fun simulation in class, with some people being 'believers' and others the 'unbelievers'. We gave the 'unbelievers' small pieces of paper with their profile written on it, which they had to act out. We created these profiles from the types we just described. It was a fun exercise. Then we took some of them on an outreach to an area in our city where there are many drug addicts and homeless people. Many of the people we trained were formerly addicts or homeless themselves, so they have true compassion for those who struggle with the same things. This was great exposure to them (and a revelation to us!).  During the debrief, they said they were amazed that the people they encountered were just like the types of people we had taught them about.

Some of the early results of this DMM training:

• One woman started a women's Discovery group in another town. Apparently, at the first meeting one of the women jumped up at some point, hitting the table with her fist to show how impacted she was by what she was learning.
• Tonight a group of us is starting with Discovery Bible Studies at a drug rehabilitation center. We expect anything between 3 and 50 people in rehab will attend. We are going along to encourage them, and even to help lead groups if many people come.
• One young guy in the group told us that he found 'his people' - school kids. He wants to teach them how to have discovery Bible studies, so that they can do Bible studies with their friends at school.   
• Another man in the group has a heart for homeless people, because he was one himself. In our city there are a few tent camps of homeless people. There they live in all kinds of home-made shelters. Our friend is currently scouting out these areas to find people of peace he can start Discovery groups with. Our objective is to start Micro Churches in the tent camp - taking the church to people instead of people to church.

Please pray for God's direction, grace and favour on all of them.

Hearing about testimonies such as these, is such an encouragement! It is also a confirmation of the mission God gave us:

_____________________________________________________________

Teamwork In Daniel 2 we read about king Nebuchadnezzar who had a dream. He wanted his magicians to tell him the dream and its interpretation, otherwise they would be killed. They couldn't do it, but when Daniel heard about it he asked for time to pray about the dream. Then Daniel explained the matter to his three friends, urging them to pray, so that they would not be killed with the rest of the wise men (Dan 2:17). God heard their prayers and revealed to Daniel the dream and its interpretation. It is interesting to note that Daniel praised God, and said, You have made known to us the dream of the king (Dan 2:23). God gave Daniel the interpretation, but Daniel understood teamwork - according to Daniel, he wasn't the star in the story. They rejoiced together, because it was a breakthrough for all of them. YOU are part of the team! Since we started in full-time ministry in 2000, we always emphasized our partnership with you - the pray-ers, the encouragers, the financial givers, the people who give us rooms to stay in, and cars to drive with, people who spoil us with meals. You are not names on a list, you are our partners, our team workers, our friends. Just like Daniel, we know that it is a team effort that brings free training to people in places like Burkina Faso, the Philippines and India. And it is a team effort to train the people in our church to help addicts and homeless people discover who God is and how He wants them to live their lives. We have said it before, and we are saying it again: You are an integral part of this ministry. We would love to catch up with you in a more personal way, so send us an email and we arrange a Zoom or WhatsApp call with you. The glory is God's alone!

Until everyone has heard ... Henry and Betsy
