ENGAGE! but how…

Why did Christian towns in South Africa, towns like George and Mosselbaai suddenly see Muslim Mosques go up? Why do we have an entire neighborhood in Hillbrow Johannesburg under Shariah Law?

South Africa has a significant number of mosques, with an estimated 1,000 nationwide, concentrated in urban areas like Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Durban… and we are now seeing the spread of Islam to our beautiful coastal towns in the Western Cape.

One day I was driving through Stilbaai, seeing all these new pop-up shops with nations like Pak*stan and Chi*na running it when I realized – hey! Wake up! before you know it, these guys could very well soon open a Mosque in our back yard!

What could be a strategy to share the Gospel of Jesus with the Hindu Muslim and Buddhist believers that has come to town? We felt God ask us this:

As you heard in my video newsletter last month, we had our International Frontier Missions leader here and we prayed at the end and this is how the English Language Center came to us…

This seed fell deep in the hearts of the URstory YWAM HUB’s staff. We went to have meetings with our YWAM Frontier Friends in George for more information about pioneering an English Center.

GOOD NEWS

Rianni will in January 2026 do the intens TESOL training, bringing it back to Stilbaai. TESOL stands for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages.

In Missions, we have thousands of stories how MBB’s (Muslim Background Believers) came to faith through TESOL in the Middle East.

LIFE ON RADIO PULPIT

I was on Radio Pulpit and wow – it was really a very special hour. Dwain and I ended up speaking about my late Brother Zarias and how God leads us in difficult times.

People phoned in, telling Dwain how they cried and how God touched them. I remember feeling like a light-bulb was in my head and I physically could feel God with me while I spoke. It was quite a unique experience.

DECEMBER – CALLING UNIVERSITIES

I also shared about the December outreach, asking this Nation to pray for us, as we will engage with University students.

And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach? 15And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “how beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”…

I ASK

How can they hear if we don’t help to whats-app the opportunity?
How will they know God wants to train and send them?
Maybe YOUR beautiful feet can carry this news to them!

and in the same light
I ASK YOU

A silver and black BMW adventure motorbike with a top box parked on paving in front of glass doors.

We are sent out, but how can we go without the Motorbikes to do 15 000Km in 3 months?
Will YOUR FEET help us buy our means to visit 13 AFRICAN Nations for outreach?

This bike was owned by a lady. She has all the saddle bags for me too. It is a 2009 model.

3John is just 1 Chapter… and says,

5 Dear friend, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers and sisters, even though they are strangers to you. 6 … Please send them on their way in a manner that honors God. 7 It was for the sake of the Name that they went out, receiving no help.

I humbly come to you again…

I ask the Body of Christ reading this letter. I ask to consider in prayer, giving towards the Africa outreach. We will go through 13 nations. God can only tell you YES or NO. If YES, He will show you the amount to give.

What will we be doing?

  1. SandBoxBible – training staff how to share Bible stories in villages in a visual kinesthetic manner with in depth application. We hope to visit villages with the Visual SandBoxBible and do evangelism.
  2. Africa bases go through lots of hardship and pain and sometimes it is simply too difficult to sit and “talk it out” I think one of the main reasons God is sending me to all these bases is to share about Theophostic Counseling mixed with sandplay. This safe method can help our staff debrief situations in a easy yet VERY deep manner.
  3. Pray with our staff and encourage them. Most of these 13 nations will you NOT find on any website due to danger. Not many visit them. Due to finance, not many of them can go far for training. I have a few tools that I can share with them that will help enrich their Bible reading and personal prayer life.

PLEASE HELP ME GO.
We found out that the two GS800 motorbikes will only cost 80 000 each. Then we will need gear and helmets too.
