A Note From Johannesburg


Taking some time to just pen a note from South Africa. I needed some time to adjust to the time difference here (it is 6 hours behind Singapore). I am doing much better this morning.

The church here is doing just fine. Jo & Kris had done a great job in pastoring our people. I must also say that my mission here is pretty much on track. The local leaders are raring to go and they are totally behind the idea that Africans would be the best people to lead the African church. I shared this idea on numerous occasions in my meetings with various people.

Posted is the picture of our DMM meeting.

We will be leaving in the wee hours of tomorrow morning heading towards Durban (at least 5 hours drive). We have a group of no less than 30 people in 3 spots. God is using Johanes (not Ps Jo but another Johannes) to open up many doors there.

Will post more news as we move along. Keep the church here in prayer (do it now!)

By the way, the average temperature is around 8-10 degree in the night. It is not as cold as I had thought.

Dear Ps Jeff, thanks for sharing n the pic. Am very encouraged by the work being done there. OK, prayed already! really. That God's protection, mercy, grace, annointing and power will be upon the church and His people --and that it will be used greatly to minister to the land over there, to build His Church there.

(hee, you know very well we wouldn't or have forgotten to pray if we don't do it right now! ;P)

thanks and greetings to all the bros & sis there from SG. if (in time) for you, do send our love and greetings.

Thanks all for praying... yes, we often say we will pray but we never get around to doing it. The best is to do it there and then.

Thanks again!

Pastor Jeff, great to know that you have a blog. Yep... give thanks to Abba for your loving and sincere heart. Have prayed when I saw the 'hidden' message haha. May God work in the hearts of those people, and bless them abundantly, according to His Will. Let this Hope we have in Him be embraced in them. May God keep watch over all of you as you continue to do His Work. Remember to share with us testimonies of breakthroughs yah.
Have a safe expedition :)

Praying for the African bros and sis to capture the Vision and Philosophy of the Church, and more importantly have the burden to carry the church forward the way God has planned. Take care yourself!GB.

I just did it NOW! Prayer is a spiritual weapon we can use for our African people to know the gospel!
