MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES

We have been here for just two months and the ministry opportunities are beginning to fall like summer rain (Namibian summer that is). I have many preaching opportunities. I will be preaching on the fourth Sunday of each month at Khomas Community Church, On March 1, I will preach at Swakop River Community Church and on March 16 at the Oshakati Dutch Reformed Church.

I am conducting elder training at River of Life Community Church in Khomasdal every Monday evening. They have 15 elders and 9 potential elders attending the training (see separate article, Elder Training Opportunities). I will be conducting a Lay Minister Seminar on March 13-14 in Oshakati.

I am also working with Dieter and Joan Morsbach, missionaries to the Fyf Rand (Five Rand) Squatter’s Camp in Okahandja, in a consulting role. I am assisting them as they put together a 90-day, 1-year and 10-year ministry plan for holistic ministry to the 7,500 residents of the camp.

Since mentoring is in my blood, I am currently mentoring a pastor, a ministry leader and an emerging young adult leader named George Steinbach, who is also serving as my ministry assistant.

I continue to meet pastors and ministry leaders throughout Namibia by attending pastors conferences and gatherings, through personal appointments and introductions. Stephan Nell, pastor of Khomas Community Church, introduces me to a new pastor each week.

So rest assured, God is opening many doors for us and ensuring that our time here is not be wasted. Please continue to intercede for us concerning our pending, but unapproved, work permits.
