The Davelaars

What Our Ministry is All About

God has given us the desire of our heart --to come and evangelize the children of Africa. This Good News Clubr is held in the yard of Mike and Cindy Buhrke, our friends from another mission. The children just keep bringing new kids and more and more are receiving Jesus as their Saviour.  
This club is held in a private hostel. This is a home for children from out of town, where they get room and board while going to school in our town of Tsumeb. These children are receiving something else. God has brought us together with them, so they can become God's children when they put their faith in Jesus. This club has been a bit more challenged by the teaching in English, as most speak other languages at home. Aren't they beautiful children?
We are pleasantly surprised by all the boys, as well as girls, who come to club week after week. You should hear them say their Bible verses that they have memorized...they are doing so well! May God change their lives through His Gospel message!
Jony - When he responded to the invitation, Linda asked him if he had ever sinned. He replied, yes, lots of times! Sounds like he starting to understand English...what do you think?

The Board and volunteer teachers were unable to be present. Everyone except the Davelaars work in the capitol city, Windhoek.
Our family's accomodations at the first staff conference, along with our "mission machine," a FORD double cab bakkie (truck). Thanks to our supporters for our wheels which take us many places. The towns here are often hours apart!
