Greetings in the precious Name of our beloved Saviour Jesus Christ.

This year as a team of 20 we visited 10 churches and shared with them the seriousness of sin and their need for a Saviour and that this can only be found in Jesus Christ.

I think that for this year's team the two things that stood out was the amount of travelling we did and why.

For the 16 days we were together we averaged 5hrs per day driving - mostly on good tarred roads but also on some very taxing thick sand roads. We did this because we want to see more people hearing the Gospel of Christ and how that needs to impact their lives. Without Christ we are all without hope! To drive for hours and then arrive at a place under a tree that is the "church" for this community and then be able to share the truths of Scripture with them is emmensly fulfilling. We pray and ask you to as well that these people will trust in Jesus alone for their salvation, based on the Scriptures alone by faith alone.

Below are some images from each of the churches we visited.

This was a very full trip and we had the opportunity and privelege of ministering to many of our Ovambo friends. All glory to Jesus our Saviour. We want to thank the many people who helped make this trip possible with their donations. 

Unfortunately the Bible Society of Namibia had again run out of Bibles in the local languages so we couldn't supply any. We were regularly asked for them though.
