\u201cThis gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a\r\ntestimony to all the nations, and then the end will come\u201d (Matt. 24:14).\r\nWe are in the period between Pentecost and the Second Coming. And our job is to spread the gospel\r\nto spread among all nations. Our sister churches have also taken on that task and are\r\nworking on that. They need our prayers. We pray for them.\r\nOn Ascension Day, the municipalities of South Natal had a joint meeting in\r\nhowick. It was well attended, despite the fact that it is no longer a public holiday in South Africa.\r\nAfrica. Howick's new congregation reports steady growth. Rev. Sithole is very grateful.\r\nThe churches are happy that people can meet physically again. However, people are concerned about the\r\nso-called third wave of Covid infections that appear to be in other parts of the country\r\nstarted. The municipality of Ndaleni has suffered badly from the previous wave, but not as bad as\r\nour brothers and sisters in the Nqutu district in Northern Natal. Mrs Baron said that there was a\r\nfamily was with five deaths. Pray for them.\r\nNow that the municipalities are allowed to come together again, it appears everywhere that church visit is not\r\nreduced by the long period of 'zooming' and not holding joint services. A point\r\nof gratitude. However, the economic downturn still weighs heavily on the well-being of many.\r\nThere are tentative talks with local authorities now that the message has come through,\r\nthat Kampen will reduce support for the clinic at the mission station in the near future.\r\nOur congregations in the Richmond district are asking for your prayers that we may be creative\r\nfind ways to strengthen contacts with the Netherlands.\r\nWe must learn to see each other as people, not just as groups in a distant land. Our\r\nsiblings have not only your prayers in the years to come, but also your financial support\r\nstill needed. However, it is important to work towards sustainable structures, which are based on the\r\nZulu congregations themselves can be worn.\r\nWe pray for the cause of succession in the municipality of Lensindiso (around the\r\nmission station Enkumane). Rev. Funeka, who still works there part-time, will soon be 72. There is a lot\r\nwisdom is needed to arrive at a sensible succession. Church mills grind slowly, but malen\r\nour Lord has a plan.\r\nSincerely, Arie Reitsema<\/span><\/pre>\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
