Many years in ministry brings with in many reminders!

There is so much to be celebrated in Africa!

Replacing the solar water pump on the well at the Mansa Orphan Center, proved to be a greater challenge than anticipated. First we found that the existing control unit was incompatible with the new pump. And so we had to replace and rewire the whole system. Then for two days the new pump would trip out every so often, and only late today (our second day on the job) we figured out that our well had silted in over the years, and so after lifting the pump several meters high in ...the well, our new pump kicked in and started doing the job its supposed to. So now clean drinking water is again flowing freely for our Orphans and the community. Do pray for us as we take off tomorrow morning early AM on the long all day drive back to Lusaka for the next phase of our trip. Pictured are Chris and Adriaan (My brother) who also accompanied us on this trip. See more

To all our friends and supporters, kindly note that Christo and Johan are on their way to Zambia today. Please pray for our Team, for safety good health. This trip is scheduled around the delivery of several thousand Training manuals for our Bible School program across Zambia. But we also received notice yesterday from Pastor Henry that our water pump on the well at the Mansa Orphan Center just packed up. And so, Johan and Christo will be carrying with them also a new pump, which they will install, so as to ensure ongoing reliable clean drinking water for our orphans and the community in general.
