New Acquaintances

" . . . teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. Colossians 1:28"
Russel and his wife and children began attending Eindhoven Baptiste Kerk in April after a Bible institute student met Russel's mom in Durban and gave Bill Knipe Russel's contact details. Not long afterward, Russel trusted Christ and is being discipled by Bill.
 On door-to-door visitation, Jason and Tony met James and his wife and his mother-in-law  . . .
 . . . and their daughters.
The next week James trusted Christ as his Savior when Jeremy and Tony visited him again.  Tony met with James 3-4 times in the next 2 weeks for discipleship.  Jeremy and Jason will continue teaching him.

Another new acquaintance at Eindhoven Baptiste Kerk is Vianca.  Sue Knipe is discipling her.
Our friends, Jeff and Judy Blanton, returned from almost a year of furlough in early June and shortly thereafter they celebrated 30 years of service in South Africa.  God is so good!
Tony preached for national church planter, Bill Meyer, at Cloetesville Bybel Baptiste Kerk on June 8.
The Oostenberg Bybel Instituut classes took their exams on June 10 and 12.
 Thankfully these students from the Strand were still smiling after their final exam.
 Tony was so very thankful that the Lord allowed him to preach 16 times and to teach 20 sessions at the Oostenberg Bybel Institute from April to June.
At our monthly fellowship meeting before Tony left, he enjoyed hearing Mornay, Jason and Bill sing . . .
. . . and Jeremy brought an excellent message.
After a wonderful dinner on Father's Day at Cedric and Caren's, Tony had a good opportunity to share the gospel at length with Caren's father.
On June 3, I had a lovely afternoon tea with Jessie, Shufang and her mom. I hope to begin the Bible study, THE EXCHANGE, with Shufang's mom in the near future.
