Teichert Prayer Letter for September

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.

September Letter ...

Dear family and friends,

Lesotho is known as the “Mountain Kingdom.” It is nested inside the country of South Africa. It is one of the poorest countries in the world with one of the highest rates of HIV/AIDs. Over 40 percent of the population live in rugged mountainous regions. Many people still need to hear about the saving power of Jesus Christ, and many new disciplemaking churches are needed in these remote areas.

Karl had the opportunity to facilitate a church planting seminar in Morija, Lesotho, from June 20-24 through the Church Planting Alliance. He was joined by a church team from Madisonville, Kentucky, and Thomas Maphophe from northern South Africa. We are praising the Lord for the 65 leaders who enthusiastically participated in the training and the 55 leaders who were certified to train others.

The local Lesotho leaders responded very positively to the training. Many of them met together again in July to review the material and follow up their action steps. Karl will return in November to encourage the leaders and provide additional training. Please pray for these leaders as they plant many disciple-making churches among these remote villages of Lesotho.

We are so grateful for your friendship and partner-ship in the Lord’s mission. Thank you for standing with us!

Karl and Jenny Teichert
