Missionary teacher Natalie Rolfe writes, "'When He calls me, I will answer ... I'll be somewhere working for my Lord.' My call was Mbale, Uganda and that is where I have returned to serve for another year. Specifically, I am teaching phonics at Lulwanda Children's Home, an orphanage and school for 90 kids." Natalie also keeps an online journal of her service at the weblog, When He calls me, I will answer ...
It is definitely a season of changes. Dry season starting to become rainy season. New sisters added to LCH. School holiday schedule. S1 coming home for holiday. Preparing for summer visitors. And housemates'/friends' time of ministry in Uganda coming to an end.
ServLife International is a movement defined by values of God’s kingdom, not programs built around human efforts and activities. The reign and rule of God should be made apparent to every person on the planet, despite their religion, race or socioeconomic status. We believe that issues of justice are inseparable from the good news that Jesus Christ came to proclaim. ServLife exists to take the gospel of Christ and the hope of a better, more just, world to the lives of people we touch. This happens through individual contributions of time, creativity, resources and dreams.
These days Albert is most excited that work is nearing completion on the first of three purpose-built buildings which will accommodate all those ministries. ServLife India is still needing funds in the amount of $8,000 to complete the work on the interior of that first building. After that Albert and family and the children and schools will move from rented facilities to the new property while work continues on the other buildings.
In Nepal ServLife is primarily working through two local initiatives. The first, Himalayan Development (HD), is led by Lazarus Thulung. HD is focused on the training and sending of church planters into the remote and far-flung villages of Nepal. At the present time we have 41 workers on the ground and 43 churches. That group will be bolstered by another 12 workers later this year following their training. We've got the gospel, humble leadership, a well-conceived plan and committed workers. Already fruit is being born. We are also planning to move ahead with the Hope Fund project. This micro-lending initiative to alleviate poverty is being done in villages where we are already at work planting the church. In a perfect world the Hope Fund would be in every village where we are working. Actually, in a perfect world the Hope Fund would not be needed but we are quite a ways from perfect so we are striving to help more families in real need. Our only limitation is available funds. Perhaps you would like to help?
The final piece of our picture, AS Nepal, is devoted to the care of orphans and other children-at-risk. At the present time we have three children's homes caring for 32 children. I had an opportunity to listen to many of their stories during my visit. All are heartbreaking and many almost unbelievable. The scripture makes it no secret of God's determined care for the orphans and most vulnerable among us. We are privileged to be serving these children in Jesus' name. What joy to see lives changed and surprised by hope! In addition to these we are also sponsoring 123 children of the poor for education that they otherwise would never be able too afford. Still more hope!The changes of seasons and people's calendars are creating an immediate need at Meals-on-Wheels of Midland for extra volunteers.

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.
One of the greatest blessings of living in Johannesburg has been the school that our children have attended for the past 14 years! The King’s School (Robin Hills) is just across the street from our home. It is a National Christian school which has about 750 students from “kindergarten” to 12th grade. The vision of the school is to be conformed to the image of Christ, and its mission is “We are committed to educate and equip the children of God’s people to make a difference.” The purpose of the school is to help prepare learners for effective living, and we have been grateful over the years for the teachers and staff who have been committed to God and his purpose for the school and have modeled servanthood.Mosquito net treated with long-lasting insecticide? $10.00 ...
