Polokwane, South Africa

We serve at Christ Seminary and a local church in Polokwane, South Africa. David is the Academic Dean and teaches at the seminary, and also pastors and shepherds in a local church. The Lord is growing the seminary, and the student body will soon be comprised of over 60 men representing 20% of the continent of Africa. We have students from South Africa, Zimbabwe, Republic of Congo, Malawi, Angola, Senegal, Guinea, and Uganda. There is a drought of God's Word in Africa (Amos 8:11–12), but now we are seeing men who are equipped in expository preaching step out and change lives. We are also active in leading a home Bible study, and David preaches about twice monthly at our local church. Carol teaches the women and children. Our children are all involved in the youth ministry.

Goals:

• Directing the academic needs of the seminary
• Equipping local pastors
• Shepherding the local church members
• Teaching and preaching in various churches as well as our local church
• To disciple and equip an African expositor and shepherd to lead our local church.

Current Ministry:

• Pray for us as we continue to teach the Truth even though it opposes the traditions of the village.
• Pray that Dave will continue to passionately implore the students to preach the Word.
• Pray for stamina in juggling the seminary lecturing, preaching, men's and women's Bible studies, trips to villages, and still investing in precious family time.
• Praise God for the changes that we have seen in many of the students after they have been exposed to the Truth.
• Praise God for His physical and financial provision for us.
