Missionary Update 11/19/2018
Dear Pastor Smith and Faith Baptist Church, A few weeks ago, we came into contact with another independent Baptist missionary who is planting a church in our province about four hours away. Along with a new relationship and opportunity to fellowship, this missionary let us know about a young lady who had attended their church but was now in the Upington area. After a week or so of communicating back and forth with this young lady, we were able to meet with her yesterday (November 9). What a joy it was to sit down with this young lady and be able to share the Gospel with her! At this point she has not received Christ, but she is very open, and we are praying for further opportunities to minister to her through the Gospel. Personally, this was a wonderful mile marker of God’s grace being very evident as I was able to talk to her for over an hour, going through the Gospel and answering questions, entirely in Afrikaans. We are humbled for God’s help to enable us to serve Him! Thank you for your continued prayers for us. We are reminded over and over how dependent we are on the grace and intervention of God! In His Service, Jonathan and Katie Switzer (with Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Alaythia) South Africa
Missionary Update 09/10/2018
Dear Pastor Smith and Faith Baptist Church, We just wanted to give you all a quick update. The faithful few at the church are continuing to be faithful. It has been encouraging to see Bro. John Gqoboka grow in his preaching and his heart for the people. On Sunday evenings, the service I teach, it has been wonderful to see God use His Word to encourage and grow the core of the church. We continue to pray for the more fringe attenders of the church, that they will choose to prioritize spiritual growth and service. Our family is going through a sick spell right now. I came down with a virus last week, which put me down for several days. I am now on the upswing from it, but our oldest son began showing symptoms yesterday. If history is a good measure, the others will most likely experience it to a degree before we are through. Thank you so much for your continual prayers and faithful support. In His Service, Jonathan and Katie Switzer South Africa
