As most of you know, we came out here with the goal of planting an Afrikaans church out of Midrand Chapel. The initial planning was to do this over a period of about 3 years. Things moved a bit faster than anticipated, and we had our first serive on Sunday, April 13, 2008! We do not know exactly how many people turned up. That, though, is besides the point. The Lord is doing exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think. We praise Him daily for His goodness and mercy. We know we don't deserve such grace, but when it is bestowed, we will rejoice even more! So praise be to God! Your prayers for the church's movement to another location w/in a year or so will be appreciated as well as the faithfulness of not only it's pastor, but also it's people. May we be faithful to serve and minister to anyone that knocks at our door. May God use this in a wonderful way to glorify His Name!!!!

Hi Viljoens...It is so nice to see you all and to catch up with your lives a little bit. I am glad that things are progressing for you. Wish that you were close by, but will have to content myself with the fact that we will se eyou again one day. Maybe even in this lifetime. Will continue to pray for you all. Love you lots and miss you heaps...
