News From Singapore

Posted on January 26, 2010

Dear Friends,

Greetings from Singapore in Jesus’ wonderful name!

The Lord is blessing us – me and Mario Steyn from Lewende Woord – in this incredible city.

I have never seen a city like Singapore – it is a super city without comparison.  As many of you know, God has shown me that one of three church planting bases – the other being in Moscow and Mumbai – will be established in Singapore.  During my meeting with key leaders here, it has been confirmed that God has showed them that this city-state will become like Antioch (see Acts 13) to Asia.

We are making progress here much quicker than I could ever have hoped for.  Still, the most important purpose of this trip is to listen to the Father as He is revealing more about the future of this church planting base to us.

Thank you for praying with us!  We are all standing together to see the multitudes of the nations of Asia come into the Kingdom of God.

Once back in Moscow, I will write in more detail.

In Christ,
Hugo

Kingdom Global India

Posted on November 24, 2009

Taking hands to Advance the Kingdom of Jesus Christ Globally

Dear friends and co-labourers in the Kingdom,

By now many of you have heard about the incredible doors the Lord has opened to us in India.  More than 300 pastors in the province of Andhra Pradesh, East of Hyderabad, have decided to come under the cover of Kingdom Global.  This is the result of a series of events orchestrated by the Lord.  Kingdom Global India is about to be born!

In the natural this is incredible, as we haven’t yet set foot on Indian soil.  In the spiritual realm though, this makes perfect sense, as in the last years and especially since the beginning of 2009, the Lord has started to talk very clearly to me about India.  During prayer, He has also been revealing to me aspects about the coming ministry in the coming years and even decades in India.  SOME OF THE THINGS HE HAS SHOWN ME IN PRAYER IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, much faster than I could have anticipated.

Dear Friends,

Tomorrow morning I am flying to Israel with a group of our Associations’ pastors, friends and leaders from other movements in Russia. We are looking forward to a very fruitful time in Israel. This will be my very first visit to Israel! May the Holy Spirit move in my and our groups’ hearts during our one week visit.

We see an increase in activity for our mission in Siberia – a school of ministry in Ulan Ude, a wonderful UK minister who will visit Krasnoyarsk and Ulan Ude and maybe soon our first permanent missionary in Ulan Ude are all on the Siberian menu.

Dave will be hosting the first school of ministry in Indonesia in May 2010. We are excited about that!

BOSNIA

Pray for Maryna as she plans to return to Bosnia after first visiting Kursk in Russia.

MOSCOW AND ST. PETERSBURG SCHOOLS OF MINISTRY

Beloved in Jesus

Hugo, Rika and children are almost on their way again back to Russia – God is good! And we trust that the newsletters will come more often again. The time they had to be in South Africa has been perfectly organized by the Lord. We praise Him for it.

Thank you very much indeed for your faithful love and support of every kind! The Lord is doing great things in SA and in Russia. Hugo is especially thankful that the church in Moscow is growing even though they are not there!

On Sunday the 26th of July Hugo preached at Lewende Woord Church in Pretoria on Covering South Africa with the Glory of the Lord. You are very welcome to use the sermon. The file with sermon notes can be downloaded here (Eng.) or here (Afr.). You can also download the actual sermon in mp3-format here (Eng.) or here (Afr.).

News from Hugo and Rika

Posted on May 3, 2009

Hugo and Rika van Niekerk

Dear fellow Kingdom Expanders,

Pray for us as we will be returning to Moscow this coming Tuesday. Some fresh-out-of-the-oven news is that Moreletta Church (pastor Elza and team) will do an Esther conference with us towards the end of October in Artashat, Armenia, which is a stone’s throne from Mt. Ararat.

If you want to join this conference – you can fly in to Armenia directly from London, Paris or Turkey – let me know.

Looking ahead into the more distant future, we see the rise of a global church planting network – where Christians from all walks of life will take hands and simply DO THE WORK OF THE KINGDOM.

May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of Him.

In Christ,
Hugo

Mission Russia Missionaries’ Meeting

Posted on March 18, 2009

A meeting of all missionaries – those who are able to make it – will be held this Thursday March 19th at 12:00 at Dave and Fran van den Berg’s apartment in Shyolkovo just outside Moscow.  We sincerely hope to see as many as possible of our missionaries there.

We ask all missionaries and friends of Mission Russia to pray for the meeting and for everyone attending, that God will use the meeting for His own divine purpose and will be the Guest of Honour on the day.  Please pray for every decision to be made and every witness given – that Christ will be glorified and the will of the Father be done.  Also pray for safe traveling to and from the meeting for everyone concerned.

God bless and keep you all!
