Hi Everyone….. Please view our monthly photos on our website.

We are presently in Dar es Salaam ! Praise God, what a challenge!

This month was a month of reuniting with some of our brothers and sisters from South Africa , but we also had some terrible times with officials, border posts, bad roads, car trouble and a broken digital camera. We spent a lot of time on the road this month.

As we tried to renew our passports for another month we realized that we were 4 days overdue. We immediately prayed and asked the Lord to please blind the eyes and give us favor with the immigration officials. THIS TRULY HAPPENED! As we arrived at the offices, people guided us through a crowd who was standing in the queue before us. As we walked into a certain room, the director came out of his office and invited us in because he said that it was overcrowded in the room. He then, without looking at our passports, gave his signature for approval and gave the command to his officers to stamp our passports. We serve an AWESOME GOD.

As we were waiting for David, Len's younger son, to arrive from South Africa , we had to fix Billeam (our car) again. The car door was rusted and could not close anymore. The Lord gave us favor at the panel beaters as we shared the Gospel with the people, and so they repaired it free of charge. We also tried to get Billeam's power problem sorted out, but they could not completely repair it due a broken vacuum advanced unit. The car still really struggles uphill as taxis and trucks constantly overtake us uphill. Our fuel consumption is 3.36 km/liter.

When David arrived we spent some time together and also prayed together. This was a real adjustment and really had to adjust, to say the least. Missions for Christ (www.missionsforchrist.org.za), Attie Myburg and his family, Johan Swart from Equip & Empower Ministries ( International Bible College ; www.powerhouse.org.za), Dirk Gous and Liandi Venter, a student, came to support us on an outreach. On a Sunday we all ministered in a Baptist Church at Senga Bay . Len gave the main message for 1 hour, but the whole service lasted 4 hours. That evening we showed the Passion of the Christ and when we gave the call to salvation, hundreds of people committed their hearts to the Lord.

We then went to Cape MaClear . We spent a day in prayer on a mountain and ministered to the people in the villages on our way and back. We also played the Passion of the Christ in the village and Attie then led the people to the Lord. Many people came to Christ that night. On the day that they left, Missions for Christ blessed us with their only sound system and DVD player to show the Jesus and Passion of the Christ films. This was awesome news as we stood in faith for this equipment for quite a while. THANK YOU JESUS!!!

We had to leave Malawi on the 15 th and acting on the advice of an immigration officer at Salima, we went out of Malawi to Mozambique in order to return the next day, but unfortunately the devil tried to stop us through these officers who tried to force bribery money out of us. We refused. We then had to sleep in Mozambique and had to drive over 400km on terrible dirt roads to another border post. Mozambique was a sad experience as we could not communicate with anybody. Nobody understood English and we did not have Portuguese tracts. Through His grace were accepted at the next border post for another 14 days in Malawi . We then had to drive another 300km (mostly bad dirt road) to Lilongwe .

At Lilongwe we had to clean the car outside and especially inside, because we had 3 days of desert in our car! We had to thoroughly clean every single item in and on Billeam.

At Lilongwe we visited some Missionaries and sowed our rooftop tent to them, for we had no space on Billeam due to the God given sound equipment. We then went to Karonga, 50 km from the Tanzanian border. As we had no more finances in our bank and therefore could not continue on to Tanzania , we went to minister in the villages and hand out our last Chichewa tracts. As soon as the Lord supplied our need again, we went over the border and worked our way up to Dar es Salaam .

We were really blessed on the way as most of the other tourists were stopped by officials an average of 15 times with difficulty, but we were only stopped once, without any hassles. TALK ABOUT GOD'S FAVOR!!

DAR ES SALAAM! What a shock! This city full of crime, aggressive people, bribe-seeking officials, astonishingly terrible traffic is not at all what we expected it to be! We've been here for 3 days and we have already had too many bad experiences, DISASTER STRUCK when our digital camera broke. We can't see what photo's we take and sometimes it does not take photos at all…..but thank God, none of these things move us, nor do we count our lives dear to ourselves.(Acts 20:24)

We have 2 new challenges in Tanzania . There is a language barrier. Not many people can speak English, but we are awaiting tracts from South Africa . Also, there are many Moslems in this area, but we see this as good news! We will be locating missionaries and churches in D.E.S. as well as in Zanzibar in the near future. ( Zanzibar is 99% Moslem! What a good place to harvest!)

Dearly beloved, we desire to fulfill the call of Mark 16:15 to “Go onto the entire world and preach the Gospel” and we also desire for you to fulfill that call as well . Your donation will aid us as we preach the Gospel in remote and unreached areas, impact others who will in turn impact others who will impact all generations worldwide with the truth and power of the Gospel. All gifts, great or small, will be appreciated.

Thank you for your prayers and support.

In His Service

Len and Jono (and David, who is now studying to show himself approved unto God.)
