I hope and trust that all is going well for you and that you are enjoying the many blessings and benefits of serving our Lord Jesus Christ. Jeannie, Jack, and I want to thank you for faithfully partnering with us in sharing the Gospel in Germany.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly thirty years ago, our family moved to Germany to be involved in evangelism and church planting. The vision and mission were clear and by God&#8217;s grace, and to His glory alone, the work in Germany has been established and turned over to German national leadership. We are grateful for the Lord&#8217;s faithfulness and fruitfulness in ministry. Now we believe a time of transition has come. We are actively seeking the Lord&#8217;s plan and purpose for this new season of ministry with IPHC World Missions Ministries.<\/p>\n<p>We are meeting with WMM Leadership to explore options for our next missionary assignment. Please keep us in prayer as we seek God&#8217;s will for future ministry. As plans develop, we will keep you informed.<\/p>\n<p>As a financial partner, please continue your monthly support as this will help us return to the field even more quickly after our new assignment is determined.<\/p>\n<h3>March Ministry in Berlin<\/h3>\n<p>Jeannie spent the past three weeks in Berlin leading a women\u2019s missions team from Ardmore, Oklahoma. The team ministered at a women\u2019s conference. They also shared the love of Jesus with the prostituted women on the streets in Berlin&#8217;s red light district and in Alabaster Jar Caf\u00e9. The ministry included a trip to Wiesbaden, Germany to join our missionary colleagues, Jeff and Miranda Weaver, in ministry to the U.S. military.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2022\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/04\/Photo-2-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2022\" class=\"wp-image-2022 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/04\/Photo-2-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/04\/Photo-2-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/04\/Photo-2-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/04\/Photo-2-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/04\/Photo-2-1-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/04\/Photo-2-1.jpg 1334w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2022\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Worth More Than Rubies &#8211; Women&#8217;s Get Away Day<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2018\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/04\/Photo-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2018\" class=\"wp-image-2018 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/04\/Photo-1-300x287.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/04\/Photo-1-300x287.png 300w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/04\/Photo-1.png 435w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2018\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ardmore H2O Team at Alabaster Jar<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2021\" style=\"width: 275px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/04\/Photo-4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2021\" class=\"wp-image-2021 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/04\/Photo-4-265x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"265\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/04\/Photo-4-265x300.png 265w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/04\/Photo-4.png 308w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 265px) 100vw, 265px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2021\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ardmore H20 Team Dropping off Gifts for Refugees<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2020\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/04\/Photo-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2020\" class=\"wp-image-2020 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/04\/Photo-3-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/04\/Photo-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/04\/Photo-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/04\/Photo-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/04\/Photo-3-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2020\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pastor Jeff Weaver &#8211; Living Water Christian Center, Ministry to the U.S. Military<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>MTI &#8211; Missionary Training International<\/h3>\n<p>During our time in the States, we will attend Missionary Training International in Colorado Springs, CO.

Muchas de nuestras iglesias en el sur de \u00c1frica tienen pisos de concreto, sin techos, ventanas b\u00e1sicas, ba\u00f1os exteriores, sin aire acondicionado y p\u00falpitos artesanales hechos con madera de desecho. Sin embargo, las personas all\u00ed est\u00e1n llenas del gozo del Se\u00f1or: danzar, cantar y dar testimonio de la provisi\u00f3n y la grandeza de Dios.<\/p>\r\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><strong>GRADUACI\u00d3N Y BODA<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Un punto culminante de nuestro permiso ha sido asistir a la graduaci\u00f3n de la escuela secundaria de nuestra nieta, Shaan Delport. <a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/11\/Delport-3.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1694 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/11\/Delport-3-235x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"235\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a> Otro ha sido que Joe se haya casado con nuestro nieto, Trysten Delport, y su bella novia, Rachel Lowry Delport.<\/p>\r\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><strong>NUESTRO VIAJE MISIONERO<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">La \u00fanica cosa que ha sostenido nuestro viaje como misioneros es el llamado de Dios. Durante veintinueve a\u00f1os, hemos experimentado la gu\u00eda y direcci\u00f3n de Dios en nuestras vidas. \u00c9l nunca nos ha fallado, independientemente de los desaf\u00edos que hemos tenido que enfrentar. Los catorce a\u00f1os que pasamos en Zimbabwe fueron muy gratificantes ya que invertimos en la vida de l\u00edderes, personas y ni\u00f1os. Fue durante ese tiempo, Dios nos llam\u00f3 al centro y norte de Mozambique a un pa\u00eds destrozado y personas heridas, que hab\u00edan sufrido 17 a\u00f1os de guerra civil. Este fue uno de los momentos m\u00e1s gratificantes de nuestro ministerio, ya que las personas recibieron a Jes\u00fas como su ancla.<\/p>\r\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Nos pidieron que nos mudemos en 2002 para servir como Directores Regionales para \u00c1frica del Sur, supervisando el trabajo en seis pa\u00edses. En los \u00faltimos 15 a\u00f1os, hemos experimentado un movimiento fenomenal de Dios en esta regi\u00f3n. Los siguientes son algunos de los puntos destacados recientes:<\/p>\r\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u2022 La APS sudafricana estableci\u00f3 su duod\u00e9cima conferencia en 2016<\/p>\r\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u2022 La Conferencia General de Botswana tuvo una exitosa conferencia anual de 2017 en Mahalapye, Botswana. Est\u00e1n planeando comenzar dos conferencias nuevas.<\/p>\r\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u2022 El programa de capacitaci\u00f3n de liderazgo ISOM (Escuela Internacional de Ministerio) ha sido muy efectivo en nuestra iglesia en Francistown, Botswana. Tambi\u00e9n se est\u00e1 estableciendo en otras \u00e1reas del pa\u00eds.<\/p>\r\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u2022 En junio de 2016, celebramos la dedicaci\u00f3n de nuestra iglesia en Maputo, Mozambique. La iglesia ya tiene 300 personas presentes y est\u00e1 creciendo.<\/p>\r\n\u2022 En noviembre, 21 estudiantes se graduaron de Advance School of Ministry en Lilongwe,\r\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">NUESTRO VIAJE MISIONERO CONTINU\u00d3<\/p>\r\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u2022 La capacitaci\u00f3n de DCPI est\u00e1 funcionando bien en Sud\u00e1frica. La mayor\u00eda de las conferencias han participado en los programas de capacitaci\u00f3n con buenos resultados.<\/p>\r\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u2022 Varios equipos de EE. UU. Han visitado Mozambique a lo largo de los a\u00f1os.<\/p>\r\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u2022 Joe realiz\u00f3 numerosos eventos de capacitaci\u00f3n de liderazgo en iglesias y conferencias durante todo el a\u00f1o.<\/p>\r\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u2022 La Conferencia General de Sud\u00e1frica ha estado trabajando arduamente para establecer el programa de capacitaci\u00f3n ISOM, que comenzar\u00e1 a principios de 2017. Cada una de las 12 conferencias se ha comprometido a que al menos cinco iglesias participen en el programa. Esto significa que habr\u00e1 60 centros de capacitaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\r\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u2022 La Conferencia del Sur de Mozambique licenci\u00f3 a 22 l\u00edderes j\u00f3venes, y los desafi\u00f3 a convertirse en plantadores de iglesias en las ciudades y pueblos de la regi\u00f3n.<\/p>\r\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u2022 Swazilandia ha visto un crecimiento fenomenal de la iglesia. En ocho a\u00f1os, nuestros misioneros sudafricanos, el reverendo Xolani y Thembeka Ngema, han plantado seis iglesias.
