MERRY CHRISTMAS GREETINGS

AND WISHING YOU A BLESSED NEW YEAR 2025

Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Comments: It is so wonderful to know that it is only our born, died, and arisen Lord Jesus Christ that we are taken into the kingdom of God by faith and born again. As a result, we desire to see children in Southern Africa and beyond having a personal relationship with the Lord for the rest of their earthly life till everlasting in heaven. Amen and Amen.

Special Christmas Season’s Greetings from Chris and Nancy,

T4T teams and the children in Southern Africa and beyond.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to almighty God because of your prayers and support for partnering with us for all that God enables us to achieve together in 2025. The year has been busier for T4T and especially for Chris the Manager and lead of the Ministry. Coming to the end of 2025 we say to God be the Glory. Doing God’s work God’s way. Especially thanking each one of you for serving together with us to advance the kingdom of God by reaching the upcoming generation, (The Children).

End of Year Ministry in Cape Town South Africa

The year 2025 has been indeed a busy year for the Ministry as other years. One of the best things that God enabled us to do was to go for Sabbatical time while on Sabbatical leave. The Lord provided for us to go for a Vacation. Nancy and I felt refreshed, rejuvenated as you might remember from the previous report. The year ended with a high note of ministry in Cape Town South Africa. T4T training went so well and it was so impactful to the staff and volunteer teachers we trained.
