Dear Friends: Greetings in the Name of Jesus:
Serving a Changeless I invite you to picture this scene:
Christ in a Changing
World A gigantic, dark cloud of smoke and ash from an erupting volcano in Iceland covers much of
Europe, forcing airlines to cancel thousands of flights as it drifts outward at altitudes as high as
From Pollen to 33,000 feet above the earth. Millions of passengers are stranded ...
Pollution -
Well, if you’ve seen the news you know this is not some fictional television drama! It actually
Our Planet is happened, very recently. The media announced that modern Europe has never seen such a
Changing dramatic and large scale disruption of trans-Atlantic air travel ... All over the world, we hear of
earthquakes, floods and natural disasters. The way of life in this world is changing rapidly.

Prayer Requests
During the 43 years that Anita and I have been ministering, we have experienced the sovereign
Our Mission Emphasis grace of God in all aspects of our personal lives, and provision for the ministry. Time has
changed many things, God has not changed, He is still the same, yesterday, today and forever.
Field News:
We have received exciting and encouraging testimonies from the field confirming the fact that
God does not change. Souls are being saved, and baptized in water, added to the church and
discipled to go forth, by faith, with only the Word in their hearts, and a burning desire to see their
villages and tribal people come to know Jesus as their Savior.

Bicycles:
Several churches in South Africa have taken on the Bicycle Project to some degree. We are not
sure how many bicycles will be donated to the field. We normally raise funds for 100 Bicycles
per year, to accommodate the needs of new graduating students as well as replacements for
pastor’s bikes that last for about 5 years. 1 bicycle costs $100.00 each.
Bicycle Bank of Spare Parts:
Over the years, these bicycles have become worn out and obsolete, and so we continuously have
to find new parts, like handle bars, wheels, front forks, brakes, reflectors, saddles, tires, chains,
etc, etc. No parts get thrown away; everything is carefully rebuilt and refurbished, certified safe
for use in the future.
Donkey Taxis:
We now have 1200 in service carrying people who need to be saved, to church. Donkeys are a
very important aspect to the ministry. 1 Donkey Taxi costs $100.00 each.
Corn Grinders:
We have donors who have promised 14 Corn Grinders for this year (2010). 1 Corn Grinder costs
$500.00 each.

Bibles: There is always a need for Bibles, (King James Bible) for new converts. We need 20,000
scripture portions/tracts for the field on a yearly basis. These tracts and Bibles get used over and over Our Mission
again. Some Bibles have been in circulation for 20 years and longer. When they come apart, they are
divided into sections – each book of the Bible becomes a study guide for a family who circulate it when Emphasis is
they are through studying that book of the Bible. Bibles cost $5.00 each.

Harvest Kits: Many of the locals have asked the pastors how they can acquire a Harvest Kit. What
they are really asking for is for a Shirt, Pants, and a pair of shoes. The brethren in Africa are now busy Indigenous
putting together good used clothing to help these men and women who become Christians. A Harvest Church in Africa.
Kit costs $300.00 each.
Our Method is to
Provision of God: We have testimonies of the brethren reporting that their clothing and shoes, Bibles, let God present
bicycles, and their food, has lasted longer than they had ever expected since becoming Christians; They
have shared their food and material blessings with others while they testify and minister to them.
