Meet the Teicherts

There has already been so much coming-and-going to and from West Texas this year. Among those visiting Midland several weeks back was Karl and Jenny Teichert, visiting First Presbyterian Church-Midland during their sabbatical from South Africa where they are missionaries with OC International.

First Prez-Midland is one of a number of churches that sponsor the Teicherts in their mission, assisting South African church leaders in achieving greater church-planting effectiveness throughout their countries and around the world.

The family - including their children, Ann, Scott, Stephen and John - has been in mission work in South Africa since 1987, and have served with OC Intrernational since 1995. They live in Johannesburg where Karl and Jenny are involved in a ministry that plants and develops churches as part of OC's Southern Africa Regional Team. The Teicherts' vision is to see a healthy, Bible-based church in every unreached village and community in South Africa, Swaziland and Zimbabwe.

The ministry recently began a project to train preschool teachers in an impoverished settlement called Finetown just south of Johannesburg.

"As you support the Teicherts through your financial gifts and prayers, you are partnering with them to to equip leaders in Southern Africa to reach their nations and the world for Christ. Thank you for co-laboring with them in the Lord's harvest!"
