親愛的代禱夥伴：

        十二月教會有不少活動，是事工比較繁忙的日子。聖誕節前的三個月，雅麗就開始為德班教會籌劃兒童的表演：選曲、練習、加上動作。每個星期的主日學後都需學習，利用錄影並找家長幫助督導。如此，雖然有時我們去別的城市服事，孩子們仍然可以練習；孩子們都很配合，他們也開心可以藉著表演來服事神。今年聖誕節是在星期一，德班的批發城放年假，一些在新華商城聚會的弟兄姐妹得以來到教堂聚會。來參加的人數比往年多一些，有近七十人。那天兒童的表演很成功，三個多月來的辛苦沒有白費。讓孩子學習有機會就要服事神，他們也親嘗服事的喜樂！

        在德班慶祝聖誕之後，我們飛到開普敦，因為十二月底我們在開普敦城外小鎮帕阿爾（Paarl）舉辦四天三夜的家庭營會。營會主題是「得豐盛生命」。講員劉俊義傳道引用約翰福音和約翰壹書，從認識生命的源頭，跟隨基督的生命，到基督徒豐盛生命的生活。為著配合主題，我們選定了兩部電影欣賞。一部電影是講人生的真正意義和生命的價值《一路上有你》（Simon Birch）。另一部電影是《心靈小屋》（The Shack），講述在苦難中全知全權的神對我們永恆不變的愛。

        這次的營會還有兩個與家庭生活有關的專題，一個是「培養及管教兒童」，由克達主講。他從兒童的心態和行為的動機，講到父母教導兒女的正確方法。另一個專題是「家庭健康須知」，由黃弟兄主講。黃弟兄是南非的全科醫生，他從南非醫療體制講到華人家庭應如何選取醫保，日常的預防和急診的需知。因為內容很豐富，亦很實用，大家都感到獲益不少。

        最後一晚是跨年之夜，我們先燒烤，然後有跨年篝火晚會，大家有很好的分享和交流。這次營會對不同的人有不同的收穫：教會一個新加入的家庭就有機會和大家一起生活，這家的弟兄比較不講話，但生活在一起，發現他其實蠻健談的；一位姐妹的弟弟才剛到南非三天，他在慕道，對他較觸動的是大家生活的見證，讓他能感受到大家像一家人。營會後，他繼續來參加主日聚會。上個主日，克達還與他談聖餐的意義。感謝主，他很願意明白基督教是什麼。請你為這位周先生的信主代禱。

        南非西開普敦省連續三年乾旱。現今開普敦市要施行六級限水，限制每人每天用水不超過五十公升；並開始零儲水倒數，預計到四月中旬就會到達零儲水。零儲水時，全市設二百個取水站，居民每人每天可領取二十五公升使用。進入零儲水勢必帶來經濟及民生壓力，希望不會引起治安的問題。這對開普敦華人教會的事工亦會有一些影響，我們靜觀其變。

請你為這些事項代禱：

1. 請為西開普敦省所需要的雨水向主祈求。
2. 請為周姓慕道友禱告，求主幫助他離開理智的分析，看見自己需要認罪悔改。
3. 請繼續為開普敦教會的事工代禱，我們想在北區新設立一個查經小組，求主引領。
4. 請繼續為我們出外往各地事工及行車的安全代禱。

Dear Prayer Partners,

        December was a busy month.  About three months before Christmas, Christina had started preparation for the children’s performance for our Christmas celebration in Durban.  From picking songs, learning the Chinese lyrics, to dancing with challenging moves, every Sunday the children were cooperating and practicing diligently.  Due to our regular absence, some parents would take over the practice sessions while we were away.  Christmas was on Monday.  The Chinese wholesale center in Durban had a three-day break so brothers and sisters were able to come to the Christmas celebration.  There were around 70 people in attendance.  The children’s performance was a great success, and the children reaped the joy of serving God!

        After Durban’s Christmas celebration, we flew to Cape Town for a four-day-three-night family retreat held in Paarl.  The theme was “The Abundant Life.”  Pastor Liu used passages from the Gospel of John and I John to lead everyone through “knowing the origin of life,” “the life of following Christ” and “living the abundant life.”  We also showed two movies that corresponded with the main theme.  The first one was “Simon Birch” which emphasized the real meaning and value of life.  The other one was “The Shack” which depicted God’s unfailing love for us even in times of crisis.

        In addition, we had two workshops.  One workshop was on parenting.  Ko-Ta explained the underlying motives and thinking patterns of children for parents to respond with correct parenting tactics.  The other workshop was on family health.  Brother Huang is a practicing GP doctor in South Africa.  He detailed the medical system in South Africa, how to choose family insurance as well as daily prevention and emergency procedures.  It was well received as there were so many important and helpful information for every family.

        The last night was New Year Eve.  We had a barbeque and great sharing time.  Everyone felt the closeness in Christ!  A family just joined our church, and the husband was very quiet.  Through this retreat we discovered that he actually was very open and enjoyed fellowship with other Christians.  A sister’s brother just arrived in South Africa three days before the retreat.  He was impressed with the warmth and love in Christ’s family.  He continues to come to church after the retreat.  Last Sunday before church, Ko-Ta had the chance to evangelize to him through explaining the Holy Communion.  Praise the Lord; he was very willing to further understand what Christianity is about.  Please pray for Mr. Zhou’s salvation.

        There is a serious drought in the West Cape Province.  At this moment, Cape Town is under Level 6 water restriction.  That means everyone is allowed a daily water consumption of 50 liters.  Cape Town has already started the countdown to Day Zero (at present, it is set in the middle of April).  From that day on, everyone can only get 25 liters of water per day from one of the 200 water stations.  That will certainly create tensions on Cape Town’s people, its economy as well as law and order.  It may also affect the ministry of the Cape Town church.  We will have to wait and see.

Prayer Requests:

1. Please pray for rain in Cape Town.
2. Please pray for Mr. Zhou so he would not just analyze Christianity but knowing his need to repent of his sins to be saved.
3. Please continue to pray for the ministry in Cape Town. We are planning to start a second Bible study group on the north side of town.
4. Please continue to pray for our safety as we travel to different cities and towns.

In His service,
Ko-Ta & Christina

親愛的代禱夥伴：

        南非的十一月和世界各地一樣出現異常的氣候，大冰雹、狂風、大暴雨。極端劇烈的氣候帶來自然的災害，也造成許多的悲劇和傷亡。十一月中，南非微信僑民網路新聞報導：在自由省布魯芳登暴風雨中發生一件嚴重車禍。從新聞中描述車禍的地點和車型，我們知道喪生的是我們認識了十五年的蘇姐妹。許多熟識她的弟兄姐妹也為她突然離世而傷痛。十五年前，她初到南非波沙貝魯的成衣工廠工作時，我們就認識了她。那時，她是慕道友，每次坐車都會暈車，克達車速都只能開在十公里上下。還好，我們是在工業區內接送，不必上公路。我們擔心她會因此中斷，但是她依然堅持來參加學習。我們大家也都為她的暈車禱告，感謝主，她後來就不再暈車了。幾個月之後，她信了主，克達為她施洗。

        信主之後，蘇姐妹一直信心單純的專一信靠主。她和丈夫初創業時，受人欺負，她都能原諒和感恩。神為他們伸冤另開生路。那時，因為勞資的問題，引致許多華人成衣廠遷走或關閉。多年來，神卻源源不斷供給他們有訂單可做。我們在工廠區的事工也因工廠搬走而停止。因為路途遙遠，所以蘇姐妹不常有機會來聚會。但是，一點不影響她的信心。許多年，當路過波沙貝魯的成衣工廠區，若有時間，克達就會去探望蘇姐妹夫婦，她總是喜樂的招待。運作成衣工廠很是不容易，有時我們要去幫助她翻譯。所以，知道他們經營工廠的艱難。有時，她會提出需要我們禱告祈求的困難情況。但是，從未看過她憂愁煩惱或抱怨過。她總是很平靜。因為她有神做主，她總是有平安和喜樂在心中。她用她單一信靠的心見證了神的信實。

        南非西開普敦省出產不少水果，開普敦教會在十一月初辦了一次草莓園之遊，全教會一起去採草莓。除了飽餐清甜的草莓外，採來的草苺以一半市價買回家，大夥都滿載而歸。大家興緻盎然，相約這個週末要一起去採櫻桃，並且一起燒烤。感謝主，這些活動將大家的感情拉近了，可以更多交流和互動。借著這些活動，我們也和教會的成員更多交往，建立更緊密的關係。這個關係是我們事工的基石。有了這個基石，我們才能深耕我們的服事。

        最近，教會中幾位成員個别約我們尋求輔導，他們將生活中的問題和我們分享。他們的信任讓我們感到是一份特權和一份從神給我們的托付。我們將自己在主裡學到的功課與他們分享，和他們一起禱告，安慰他們，鼓勵他們，扶持他們繼續行在神的旨意之中。感謝神！見到本來很焦慮的人，平靜下來，能依靠主，滿有信心的生活。經過輔導，信心軟弱充滿自責的人，恢復信心，願意改正，為要討主喜悅而行。我們看見神的大能，施慈愛憐恤幫助憂傷痛悔的人。請你為那些有需要的弟兄姐妹禱告，求主恩待他們。也請為我們禱告，求主賜給我們智慧的話語，幫助仍然在輔導中的弟兄姐妹。

請你為這些需要代禱：
1. 請你為南非工場需要多名宣教士代禱。求主差派工人來南非事奉。
2. 請為開普敦教會的輔導事工代禱。求主賜給我們適當的話語開導有需要的人。
3. 請為這個月底在開普敦舉辦的營會代禱，為天氣，為講員，報名和專題講座代禱。
4. 請為我們事工在德班，紐卡索，開普敦教會的正常運作代禱。
5. 請為我們出外往各地事工及行車的安全代禱。

Dear Prayer Partners,

        Similar to other parts of the world, South Africa experienced severe weather in November with strong winds, thunderstorms and hails.  This extreme phenomenon resulted in many natural disasters as well as lost lives.  In mid-November, there was a news report of a deadly car accident in Bloemfontein.  From the description of the accident location and the car model, we knew that the victim was our Sister Su.   We met Sister Su when she came to work in one of the manufacturing factories in Botshabelo about 15 years ago.  She was not a Christian then.  She suffered from motion sickness, and Ko-Ta had to keep his car speed under 10 km/hour whenever she was in the car.  Fortunately, we only needed to travel within the industrial area, and she kept on coming to our meetings.  We prayed for her illness, and she miraculously experienced God’s healing.  A few months later, she accepted Christ and was baptized.

        After she became a Christian, Sister Su followed Christ whole-heartedly with a genuine faith.  She faced a lot of unfair treatments when she started her own factory with her husband.  However, she did not harbor any hard feelings but always filled with thanksgiving for God’s providence and protection.  As many factories left that area, our ministry at that location was suspended a couple years later.  Since she was far from Bloemfontein, she was not able to come to church regularly.  Nevertheless, her faith remained strong.  Whenever we visited her, she received us joyfully.  At times we would help her as her translator with customers and labor authorities.  It was not easy running a factory, but she never showed any worries or complaints.  She always remained calm because God was her Lord and that gave her joy and peace in her heart.  Her single-hearted faith was a true testimony of God’s faithfulness.

        The Western Cape in South Africa produces many different kinds of fruit.  The Cape Town church went to pick strawberries in early November.  In addition to tasting sweet juicy strawberries, everyone bought some home at half of the market price.  This weekend we will be going cherry picking and barbeque.  Praise the Lord, these activities let everyone get to know each other better.  We are also able to build up relationships with the congregation.  This is really the stepping stone for our service to the church.

        Recently, a few brothers and sisters started to contact us for counseling.  They opened themselves up to us and seek our help.  Their trust in us makes us feel privileged to be able to fulfill God’s call.  We shared with them the lessons we learned; we prayed with them; we comforted and encouraged them to continue to walk with God.  It is exciting to see the down casted stood up, willing to own up their mistakes, pick up the pieces and walk in faith again.  We experience the mercy and mighty work of God in those who are broken and contrite.  Please pray for this special need.  May the Lord’s grace be with them.  Please also pray for us that we will speak with words of wisdom from above.

Prayer Requests:

1. May the Lord send more workers to South Africa.
2. Please pray for wisdom for us in counseling those in need in the Cape Town church.
3. Please continue to pray for the preparation and messages for the December retreat in Cape Town.
4. Please continue to pray for the ministries in Durban, Cape Town and Newcastle.
5. Please continue to pray for our safety as we travel to different cities and towns.

In His service,
Ko-Ta & Christina

親愛的代禱夥伴：

        我們第一次見到姚太太時，是在一個弟兄家裡的聚餐，那天大家聊到聖經的權威性，她表示她有讀過聖經，但是信仰對她不重要，沒有興趣、沒有時間去信教。但是，在她信主之後，她告訴我們，其實那時她生活得很痛苦，她的家庭生活正面臨風暴，許多事情讓她非常苦惱，可是在人面前卻裝扮得很好，若無其事。在我們的生活中也有許多和姚太太一樣的人，他們的心被蒙蔽了，不認識神，在面臨人生的風暴時，很是無助，也不知道解決他們愁苦的就是基督的信仰。其實，人因為沒有正確的自我價值和人生方向，就有了許多的愁煩。他們對福音的了解是個宗教，而不是生命之道。我們需要告訴他們：「基督的信仰帶給人豐盛的生命，絕對不是一個可有可無的宗教選項。」

        感謝主，神讓姚太太看見基督的信仰不是一個死的宗教，而是世人的生命之道，帶給人希望和信心。她所結識的朋友——教會中的一對夫婦，他們的家庭生活亦有不少苦惱愁煩的事，也有爭執和不和。但是，姚太太注意到，他們總是有一個力量支持著他們，給他們希望必能勝過他們的問題。再不滿自己的配偶，最後還是願意饒恕。這種的愛，在她自己的生活中是沒有的。她很羡慕他們，漸漸更多的和他們交往，她也就開始來參加教會的活動。我們朋友的眼晴是雪亮的，所以我們每個基督徒都要警醒生活，傳福音必不可少的是生命的真實見證。

        之後，姚太太就固定來參加教會的聚會。三個月後，她就受洗歸入基督。成為基督徒之後，信仰的成長亦對她有挑戰。基督徒生命的特質如順服、忍耐、饒恕和溫柔，最初她很難做到。我們去探訪她，與她分享和給她鼓勵。後來，她願意試著去做。姚太太分享說她現在脾氣溫柔許多了，生氣發怒的事也很少發生。丈夫因為她的改變，也改變了。因為丈夫的改變，她也能順服丈夫。家裡的孩子也乖巧許多。她聽到主的命令又實在的行出來，就在她所行的事上得福。（雅1:25）

        因開普敦教會成員的交流和互動不足，我們決定在教會中設立幾個團契，增加教會成員之間的交流、彼此扶持及代禱。目前社青團契和婦女團契都成立起來，感謝主，初步的結果和反應良好。我們將會繼續增加別的團契。

請你為我們事工這些需要代禱：

1. 請你為南非工場需要多名宣教士代禱。
2. 請為開普敦教會的團契事工代禱。求主幫助我們設立團契和組織不同類型的團契活動。
3. 請為我們在大學城斯泰倫博斯（Stellenbosch）的福音工作代禱，為我們接觸的年輕人小翁信主代禱，求主幫助我們能接觸到更多華人。
4. 請為年底在開普敦舉辨的營會代禱，為報名、住宿安排和專題講座的準備工作代禱。
5. 因為我們精減行程，調整了一些事工的時間。請為各地事工的正常運作代禱。
6. 請為我們出外往各地事工及行車的安全代禱。

Dear Prayer Partners,

        We first met Mrs. Yao at a dinner party in one of our brothers’ home.  Our conversation somehow touched on the authority of the Bible.  She mentioned that she had read the Bible before but religion did not appeal to her at all.  She neither had the interest nor the time to explore.  However, after she accepted Christ, she admitted that at that time she was actually under a lot of stress due to marriage problems.  In order to make a good impression on others, she just put on a happy front.  There are indeed a lot of people around us like her.  Their eyes are blinded; they do not know God.  They feel helpless when facing life’s challenges; they do not know that faith in Christ is the solution.  Without a clear life direction and a correct value system, people are drowning in despair.  Many see the gospel as a religion, not realizing it as the Word of Life.  We need to make it known to them, “Faith in Christ brings about an abundant life; it is not an optional religious choice.”

        Praise the Lord!  He led Mrs. Yao to recognize that faith in Christ is not another religion, but man’s way of life that brings hope and confidence.  She saw that her new friends (the brother and his wife) also had similar family issues and worries, even fights and arguments.  At the same time, she found that there was an unseen influence in their family that gave them hope in overcoming their problems.  Any resentment toward each other was resolved through forgiveness.  This kind of love was an eye opener; she wanted it so much in her life.  As she got to know them more, she began to attend some church activities with them.  People around us can see through our pretense.  If we want to lead them to Christ, we need to be real in living out our faith.

        Three months after Mrs. Yao attended church regularly, she was baptized.  Her spiritual growth was not without struggles, especially in the areas of submission, patience, forgiveness and gentleness.  When we visited her, we continued to encourage her and share with her our own experiences.  She then really committed herself to live out her faith.  She shares with us that now she is gentler and does not easily get angry like before.  Her obvious changes affected her husband to change, too.  In turn, she found herself easier to submit to her husband.  Her kids also become more orderly and calm.  Blessed are those who know the truth and practice it!  (James 1:25)

        As we noticed that more interaction is needed among the Cape Town church members, we decided to form different cell groups to facilitate and encourage sharing, support as well as praying for each other.  The Young Adult group and Women’s group just had their first meetings this month, and the response is encouraging.  We plan to start other groups in the coming months.

Prayer Requests:

1. May the Lord send more workers to South Africa.
2. Please pray for the formation and planning of the new cell groups in the Cape Town church.
3. Please pray for the outreach in Stellenbosch, especially the salvation of our new friend Mr. Wen. May the Lord lead us to come in contact with more Chinese.
4. Please pray for the preparation and messages for the December retreat in Cape Town.
5. As we have to rearrange our schedule in serving three churches, please pray that no ministry is adversely affected.
6. Please continue to pray for our safety as we travel to different cities and towns.

In His service,
Ko-Ta & Christina

親愛的代禱夥伴：

感謝主，我們在美河鎮的事工結了果子——郭姐妹七月初在德班教會受洗歸入基督。我們在四年前有機會見到她，並且贈送福音小冊和詩歌光碟給她，從那時起我們就斷斷續續的與她聯絡。她要輔助丈夫龐大的事業及照顧家庭，空閒日子不多；由於美河鎮與德班相距兩個小時的車程，我們僅能在她不忙碌時探訪她和她的丈夫。從人來看似乎進展很慢，但所撒下的福音種子，時候到了必能收割。郭姐妹稟賦聰穎過人，能力超强，別人解決不了的事，她能想出辨法；人家辦不到的事，她可以辦得到。她自視很高，相信沒有自己辦不到的事，除了月亮沒摘下來，其它的事她都能做到。後來因為小女兒的病使她束手無策，在人無法解決；走到盡頭時，她轉向真神，祈求神的幫助。感謝神，她的女兒從疾病中康復而且信主。雖有如此經歷，但仍有一些信仰真理的問題使她徘徊，她不確定是否立刻就需要這位大能的神成為她個人一生的救主，還是有許多問題需要明瞭，而她的工作和環境限制了她尋求真理的機會。就這樣她將認識神的事擔擱下來，沒想到在她最孤立的時候，我們竟然出現在美河鎮她丈夫管理的工廠。神將我們帶去，神再次的召喚她。我們分享了在南非事工中許多弟兄姐妹的見證及個人經歷去幫助她，我們為她得救向主祈求，不斷的付出，幫助她心中的種子成長。感謝主拯救了她！傳福音的訣竅就是忠心的去做，不論在人來看是否是最好的機會。主要我們忠心事工，神安排在最美好的時候，成就最美好的事。相信在你的身旁也有需要明白真理的人，像埃提阿伯的太監一樣，他需要你像腓利一樣聽主的話。起身去做！你願意嗎？

南非有三、四十萬華人在這裡生活。華人事工經過二十多年許多宣教士的努力，在不少的城鎮被建立起來。只是，沒有宣教士駐守的呢！為此，我們有三分之二的時間在別的城鎮中服侍。誰來承傳這裡被建立起的事工呢？我們需要多位宣教士來接下一棒的工作。請你為南非工場需要的工人代禱。

僇姐妹去年受洗後就被調移去萊索托王國工作，最近返回南非的工廠來幫忙生產。主日和她閒談，了解到她在主裡的長進。由於工作的繁忙及沒有交通工具，她無法去教堂聚會，只能藉著手機聽詩歌及讀一些屬靈的文章。在工作中有許多壓力和困難，她都靠著禱告渡過。她說：「感謝主，我有主可依靠。」她的眼神像是個經歷風暴的老練水手般肯定。我們感謝信實的神，保守她的信心不斷成長。她也感謝主讓她的丈夫支持她信主，她的丈夫比她較有文化，常讀一些基督教的文章並解釋給她聽。這個月底她將再返回萊索托王國工作，我們就送給她一本串珠註解本聖經幫助她學習。請你為她的丈夫丁愛華信主禱告。傳福音最喜樂的就是看見你所傳的人，不僅信主，還能在主裡信心不移的繼續成長。他們真的是得到福音的好處。

 代禱事項：

1. 請為南非工場需要的工人代禱。
2. 請為郭姐妹及僇姐妹未信主的丈夫早日得救禱告，求主為我們開路能與他們分享福音。
3. 感謝主，我們已搬遷到開普敦的大學附近居住。求主幫助我們在大學地區建立聚會點。也為開普敦青年人事工代禱。許多青年人需要認識主，需要一個屬靈的家。
4. 請為在開普敦教會北區的查經班及斯泰倫博斯的聚會穩定代禱。
5. 請為紐卡索在每月兩次星期四、五晚上的聚會，及白天參加基要課程與門徒訓練的弟兄姐妹代禱，求主使用課程幫助大家學習長進。
6. 請繼續為德班教會的慕道朋友早日信主禱告。
7. 請繼續為我們出外往各地事工及行車的安全代禱。

Dear Prayer Partners,

Praise the Lord!  Our outreach in Mooi River came to harvest!  Sister Kuo was baptized on the first Sunday of July!  We had the opportunity of meeting Sister Kuo about four years ago.  We gave her gospel tracts and music DVD’s and kept sporadic contacts with her.  Due to her busy schedule in assisting her husband in the big business, we could only visit her and her husband once in a while.  The progress might seem slow, but in due time, the seed began to sprout and came to fruition.

Sister Kuo is an extremely smart and capable person.  She used to be so confident of her own ability that she believed there was nothing impossible to her.  However, when her daughter was sick and the doctors were unable to help, she felt powerless for the first time in her life.  At that point, she turned to God.  Her daughter experienced God’s divine power and was healed; she accepted Jesus as her personal Savior.  However, Sister Kuo still had reservations as she had some questions needed to be answered; her work soon occupied her life, and her quest for truth was set aside.  We appeared at their factory when she felt deeply isolated.  God called on her again through our encounters.  We shared with her numerous testimonies of God’s love and faithfulness; we prayed for her; we continued to nurture the seed of the gospel to grow.  We were so excited when she decided to be baptized!  The key to mission is being faithful, whether circumstances look hopeful or not.  The Lord only asks for our faithfulness; and He will make things beautiful in His time!  There are people around you who need to know the truth.  Like the Ethiopian eunuch, he needs you to be as obedient to the Lord as Philip.  Would you be willing to go?

There are around 400,000 Chinese in South Africa.  After twenty years of evangelistic efforts of many missionaries, ministries were established in different towns and cities.  Nevertheless, the number of missionaries was not enough to care for all the existing churches and fellowships.  As a result, we need to be on the road 2/3 of the time every month.  Who would come to share the load?  Please pray for more workers in this mission field.

Sister Miao was transferred to Lesotho soon after she was baptized last year.  She came back for a short time last month.  We chatted with her after worship service and were happy to notice her spiritual growth.  Despite the difficulties in attending church, she is able to sustain and grow in her faith through diligent learning over the internet.  She shared with us that she overcame many pressure and hardship in work through prayer.  She is so thankful to have Christ in her life as her refuge.  We could see it in her eyes the confidence of a “seasoned sailor.”  She is also grateful that her husband is very supportive of her faith.  Since he had a higher educational background, he would search out Christian literature and explain them to her.  As she will be returning to Lesotho by the end of this month, we gave her a reference Bible for more in-depth study.  Please pray for the salvation of her husband, Mr. Ding.  The joy of mission is seeing people grasp the essence of the gospel and lives being transformed.

Prayer Requests:

1. May the Lord send more workers to South Africa.
2. Please pray for the salvation of Sister Kuo and Sister Miao’s husbands.
3. We thank God for leading us to move into a new apartment close to the Cape Town university campus. May the Lord guide us in establishing the student ministry in Cape Town.
4. Please pray for the on-going Bible study meetings in northern Cape Town and in Stellenbosch.
5. Please pray for Newcastle’s Bible study meetings on the first two Thursday and Friday evenings as well as day time one-on-one discipleship trainings. May our brothers and sisters grow in faith and love.
6. Please continue to pray for the seekers in Durban that they will accept the Lord as their personal Savior.
7. Please continue to pray for our safety as we travel to different cities and towns.

In His service,
Ko-Ta & Christina
