Karl and Jenny Teichert are serving the Lord as missionaries with OC Africa, in South Africa. They moved to Johannesburg in November, 1997 with their four children; Ann, Scott, Stephen and John. Karl serves as the Southern Africa Director of the Southern Africa Regional Team. Their vision is to see a healthy, Bible-based church established in every un-reached village and community in South Africa, Swaziland, Zimbabwe, Zambia and beyond. Their strategy is to partner with key African church leaders to research, train, and mobilize the body of Christ to complete the Great Commission. They are striving to equip local leaders in Southern Africa to reach their nations for Christ and send missionaries into other countries as well. Karl’s ministry focuses on research, church planting, and leadership development training. In addition to caring for their four children, Jenny enjoys ministering through hospitality and equipping Sunday school teachers

July Prayer Letter ...
“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14
2 Chronicles 7:14
Dear Family and Friends,
In July 2000, God captured the heart of a South African Christian businessman, Graham Power, with a vision based on 2 Chronicles 7:14. The vision included a call to Christians from all denominations from Cape Town to unite together for a day of repentance and prayer. Over 45,000 Christians responded, which resulted in intercession, service, and witness for the city. The vision continued to spread each year across South Africa, the rest of Africa, and the world. On May 31, 2009, millions of Christians from every country of the world united in repentance and prayer during the Global Day of Prayer. This was a prayer for the fulfillment of Habakkuk 2:14: “For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.”
On May 23, 2010, Karl was able to participate in the 10-year celebration of the Global Day of Prayer with leaders from more than 150 nations in Cape Town, the birthplace of the vision. He was deeply touched as millions of believers from 220 countries around the world united in prayer and repentance and committed to work together as God’s servants for the blessing and healing of the nations.
The Global Day of Prayer conference included plenary sessions on prayer, marketplace, youth, church, and missions. Karl had the opportunity to interact with leaders from other African nations and many international organizations. Karl strategized with leaders from Dynamic Church Planting International, the Orality Network, Call2All, Perspectives on the World Christian Movement, and national initiatives to more effectively disciple the nations of Southern Africa for the glory of God. One particular project includes partnering with the Orality Network to present evangelism and church planting training to the unreached peoples in southern Madagascar.
Please pray that the Global Day of Prayer would ignite a passion for all believers to constantly seek the Lord. Pray that a movement of intercessory prayer would impact every segment of society. There are still over 600 unengaged, unreached people groups with populations of over 50,000 around the world ( www.finishingthetask.com ). Please pray for a greater partnership between ministries and church leaders to train and mobilize missionaries to plant disciple-making churches in these remaining unreached people groups. Lastly, please pray for wisdom and strength for Karl as he coordinates the Church Planting Alliance to accomplish this goal in Southern Africa.
Thank you for standing with us in your prayers and support. We are so grateful for your invaluable partnership!
For His Glory,
The Teicherts
