We recently received an update from 2 of the missionaries we support, Ronald & Irma. They are a couple currently serving the Lord out in Cape Town, South Africa. Ron teaches at 2 Bible schools in and around Cape Town, offering “practical training and discipleship in a format that is simple to follow by all”. The Bible schools have been set up in the middle of the communities they serve.  The trainee pastors commit to 18 months of study, but continue to live and work alongside their congregations.

A full update is available on Serving In Mission’s website here.

Key prayer points for Ronald & Irma

• For the students attending these Bible schools, that they will grow in Biblical knowledge and love for the Lord and that this in turn will inspire their congregations.
• That the students will recognise the value of the training that they are receiving and in turn recommend it to others
• For the students that Ron has identified as potential teachers of the future, please pray for protection as they grow into the roles for which the Lord has prepared them.
• That the townships where the schools are established will invest in these schools so that they are sustainable, releasing Ron and his colleagues to set up more discipleship schools in the region.
