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

November Prayer Letter, Pt. 2 ...
Dear Family and Friends,
From Karl and Jenny: From August 28 – September 4, Karl was joined by two other ministry partners from Ethiopia and Madagascar to present church planting training to over 45 leaders near Antananarivo, Madagascar. The purpose of the training is to multiply evangelistic/discipleship groups that will form new churches in unreached villages of the rain forest. Most of the leaders walked and traveled up to three days from the central province of the rain forest region to attend the teaching. The three other mission organizations also participated in the training, and the project was endorsed by the Evangelical Fellowships of both South Africa and Madagascar.
The next step is for these 45 leaders to equip and develop 6-10 other church planters each to plant 1-2 new discipleship group/churches in the next 12 months. They will receive ongoing mentoring and encouragement. By God’s grace, this will result in 600-900 new churches. Those who are successful will be invited with their new leaders to attend a follow-up training in July 2011. Our prayer is that these experienced leaders will then travel into the other four provinces of the unreached regions of the rain forest to multiply church planters and discipleship groups/churches.
Over 19 million people live in Madagascar, from 50 distinct people groups. Approximately 7 million people live in the eastern rain forest region. Joshua Project has identified nine indigenous unreached people groups in this area. The goal of this project is to plant 6,000 churches among least-evangelized peoples, primarily in the eastern rain forest region by 2015.
Please pray for effective church planting of these 45 leaders and their new leaders. Pray that God uses these leaders to reap a fruitful harvest of disciple-making churches in the many remote villages. Lastly, please pray for the financial provision for more training and Malagasy audio Bibles for many illiterate church planters and pastors. Please let us know if you would like more information.
Thank you for standing with us. We are grateful for your faithful intercession and financial partnership!
