Teichert Family Update ... “Prayer Requests”

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.


“Prayer Requests”

Dear prayer partners,

Trust you are well and growing in your intimacy with our Heavenly Father. We would appreciate your prayers for us in the following ways:

Please pray for the HIV/AIDs home-based caregivers in Finetown, as Jenny has been helping them start a small business, along with Jabu, an entrepreneurial coach, in hopes that the caregivers could become self-sustainable. They recently harvested their first tomatoes (six boxes). Please pray against theft in the community garden and that the project would go from strength to strength in providing for their families and community.
