The family of 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 unreached 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. |

Dear Family and Friends,
A pastor recently encouraged us to look at life from a “higher vantage point” — stepping back to align your heart, mind, and emotions with God’s will. We can then begin to focus on the things that are on God’s heart.
One area of focus for me this year has been Bible Study Fellowship (BSF). I have been privileged the past two years to be a group facilitator for a group of 15 ladies. I have learned so much, not only from our study of Revelation this year, but also from hearing the hearts of women from South Africa, Zimbabwe, Kenya, and Malawi who are passionate to study the Word and apply it to their lives. It has enriched my life and I am thankful to be serving in this ministry!
I hope you are well and enjoying the new year! The start of 2016 has been packed with many activities for our family:
• John — started the Media Academy GAP year program in Jeffrey’s Bay.
• Stephen — began his computer science studies at the University of Pretoria.
• Ann — applied to graduate schools for industrial psychology.
• Scott — is finishing his degree in electrical and computer engineering.
• Karl — is providing discipleship and coaching training.
• Jenny — BSF and Finetown visits to the HIV/AIDS caregivers.
We love hearing from you and enjoy seeing glimpses of many of you on Facebook. Thank you for supporti ng us in many ways through the years.
With love and appreciation,
Jenny for the Teicherts
