Gwero, Zimbabwe – Apostle Andre Pelser It was a moment I will never forget. No microphone was needed, no band, no great platform with high back seats that look like thrones, no plush carpets, no pomp and circumstance, no flashy backdrops, no electronic devices, no glitter and no showmanship …just […]
The Eyes of Faith I preached in the dark in Kisoga, out in the bush because there is no electricity. We were held up on the way by a truck that got stuck in a dirt road. This made us late for the meeting. By the time we arrived it […]

Today many preachers rely on formulas and methods for church growth instead of being like Jesus who treated people as individuals. […]
Two earthquakes hit the south of the Philippines and the one was 7.3 on the Richter scale. At the moment 144 are dead and 297 missing. Two typhoons also covered Manila. The streets are like rivers. Taxis wade through the water like boats. The people here seem to be used […]
