The ONE OX principle (and sad emergency)

Proverbs 14:4

Where there are no oxen, the manger is empty, but from the strength of an ox come abundant harvests.

Never underestimate what YOU can do in the Kingdom when you obey Him. To work, to give, to serve, to pray... it only takes a YES to God. To be INTENTIONAL is key. And it is rewarding.

One sends a 1000 to flight and two, 10 000... imagine!

TOUCH RUGBY OUTREACH IS NEXT

"The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

Pray therefore

to the Lord of the harvest

to send out laborers into his harvest.

Help us get this add out!

I will be printing 1000 of these flyers and get them out among the holiday makers. If you live in Stilbaai and would like to volunteer 27 December, come see me.

SandBoxBible is growing!

More and more workers among various communities are asking for boxes. The GOAL of 2026, apart from taking boxes to 14 nations on the motorbikes is to visit surrounding small farm schools in our Western Cape area. There are MANY! They are small and tucked away between farms. This map shows where we will be going with boxes.

An hour ago...

I am writing with a fairly heavy heart at this moment, as I just heard bad news as I was writing this newsletter. I insert it here because my car is very relevant to whatever I do. It recently clocked 200 000km... and never gave me one problem whilst driving up and down this nation.

Yesterday, a friend was suppose to leave with her 3 kids to visit her mother in Pretoria, having special permission from the school. She is using my car. She said she would take my car for a check-up at Ford in Riversdale before she departs because last week the light "Engine malfunction" started to go on.

I know the guy at Ford working on the car really well, as I do have it yearly checked to avoid surprises. He just phone us, seeing that we already had to extend his time working on the car with a full day.

"I have really bad news for you, he said...

then went on to say - I have no idea how you have been driving without problems. You are not supposed to be able to drive the car. The engine is not suppose to work anymore - There is no way you could have made Pretoria with this engine as it is right now." The timing belt was missing scores of ... whatever it was missing!!! and two other objects are leaking... WHAT??

The real bad news? The cost of the timing belt alone was bad, and then he found more and more serious leaking objects of grave concern. We are in the middle if MASSIVE fundraising for AFRICA and now this!

God knows. Together my friend and I have been reading through the Bible at rapid speed and one thing that stood out as we nearly finished the Bible in 3 months is: GOD IS IN CONTROL, REGARDLESS.

I can give you screen shots of my bank accounts and you will see, that there is absolutely no way I can pay for the car to be repaired. God gave the car, He can see to it that it gets fixed without leaving me in R20 000 debt. (£1000) (and its with discount from my friend).

I don't know who God will ask to help me pay this - Or else, He can give me a car that will also suit SLOWKOU ministry seeing that we are doing a lot with the community and it is only increasing!!! My car is actually too small for what is happening ministry wise. Who knows... I am in my JUBILEE year !!! Maybe it broke for such a time as this. I TRUST HIM.

Thanks for really praying for me that God will raise up this person to help me with this. Thanks.

Give to SA Breedt Savings ABSA 907 558 0094 for this to be covered.

A PRESENCE AMONG BIKERS

Intimidated?

If we were, we ignored it!

We are meeting so many new people from walks of life that I never thought I would. When the massive fire was burning (see photo), I could not help but talk about God and Moses and how it must have felt for Moses... and Daniel's 3 friends. Their faith carries me and helps me to stand before the variety of flames this life constantly presents. I suddenly realize the way they look at me when I talk about God! Its my "normal"

It is quite something when one turns to the Bible to watch the faces of the people. Then I remind myself. Just a little bit of salt is all that is needed for the Holy Spirit to work and preserve. It is not rocket science that many of those in my path these days don't read Scripture anymore. I don't know how many were even Christian where we went...

MY PERSONAL CHALLENGE is nearly done! Reading through the Bible in 4 months. It is not much to read every day. It only takes discipline. I asked my Bible study group to join me, and told them why they should endure Leviticus! THEY DID, and to see my group's faces beam because they are "doing it", reading portions that Sunday School skipped was a joy to see.

SLOWKOU IS GROWING

ACTS 1:8

You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

Daily, Weekly Monthly!

Camping, Games, Prayer, Bible study, Monthly functions, Slowkou Cup awards - and now even engaging with the men in Stilbaai that have Motorbikes

Engaging with community in various ways is what matters.

PRAY WITH US EACH FRIDAY AT 3PM

Obviously the car repair is huge - please pray I can cover the cost... this was completely unexpected. (R20 000)
Pray over the preparations for the touch rugby MISSIONS engagement.
Lots of preparation before 2 April 2026. It is taking a LOT to prepare for this 14 nations outreach. A door opened to even take a box to the KHOI SAN in Namibia! How awesome this that!
Keep my health before the Lord. I do gym and try my best to stay as fit as I can.
Cover our year end function weekend. I have seen that spending this kind of time with people is what causes their hearts to open up!

Thanks friends and sponsors.

Blessings
