Missionaries
From Gertjan and Judy in South Africa
Posted on March 9, 2010
Hi there dear friends,
We, along with James & Marie Lottering hosted a fabulous “Evening in a Russian home” on Thursday evening in the Covenant Centre. We ate Russian food, played Russian gospel music, shared about the food and culture with some funny moments in a slide show, and we shared about our lives and ministry there.
James spoke about his 2 1/2 week mission trip to us in December – it was SO GOOD to hear a “visitor’s” views and perception of Russia and its precious people. My heart swelled with emotion and longing, as I looked “from the outside” at the fabulous DVD of his ministry there. To hear our friends and see the places where we work for the Lord on DVD was amazing. So many asked us please to do such an evening again! I can say with confidence that ALL enjoyed the evening.

Hello Friend
It is Spring-time!! The temperatures have risen just above 0 degrees Centigrade and the snow has started to melt.
We had a wonderful time of ministering this last Sunday at Rasa church’s teenager service. We are in awe of what God is doing in the group.
Monday and Tuesday we attended a conference for church pastors just outside of Moscow. There we were also encouraged to see what God is doing in different churches in Russia.

Missions Report October 2009 – John Tyrell and Leigh Goodwin
Posted on February 11, 2010
TULA
John Tyrell, pastor of Hednesford AoG, & Leigh Goodwin flew to Moscow on 16th October. The next day we went down to Tula by minibus. Tula is a city of about 500,000 approx 200 kms south of Moscow. Leigh’s contacts there are Gertjan & Judy Pelleboer, South Africans who Leigh taught at ASM. They are part of the church & support pastor Sasha (Alexander). The church share the building with another church for Sunday meetings so this limits their activities. We joined the church for a wonderful social event on the Saturday evening to celebrate pastor Sasha’s 40th birthday. John Tyrell ministered on the Sunday am & Leigh brought a prophetic word about the growth of the church. In the evening Leigh brought some teaching to a small leadership team. The pastor indicated that he would like further specific input into the church there that related to leadership development. We then travelled back on Monday am to Moscow to link in with Hugo Van Niekerk’s assistant pastor Olga Samarina. Olga talked us through the rest of the trip’s arrangements.

Do You Really Think I Love Jesus?
Posted on January 29, 2010
Dear Brother and Sister
Do you really think I love Jesus?
Do I love Jesus if I am still so much engaged in securing my own comfort and future – striving to fulfill my own desires while I walk amongst millions of dead people, destined for eternal destruction?
If I really love Jesus I would share His passion and we know to what heights His passion took Him – on top of the cross, on top of Golgotha where He gave up His everything so that others can be saved.
Do I have the same passion as Jesus?
This was the question I was confronted with over and over again when we visited Egypt and the cold parts of Russia recently.

Gertjan And Judy Pelleboer – A New Baby!
Posted on October 29, 2009
Hi dear Friends!
A NEW BABY?
Well – sort of… Read on…
We are thrilled to announce that our website “NEW CREATION SPECTRUM” is on the horizon. NewCreationSpectrum.co.za goes live on the 10th November 2009. This wonderful idea came about as a result of so many people asking us questions like, “what do you do? what is your ministry?”
Every year that we have returned to Russia, God has added yet another sphere to our “spectrum” which makes it difficult to explain in one paragraph. Now we can say, “You can look on our website to see what we do and if there is any way in which we may serve you in Jesus Name”.
And let the beauty and the delightfulness and favour of the Lord our God be upon us; confirm and establish the work of our hands – yes, the work of our hands, confirm and establish it (Ps. 90:17).

Kursk Youth Conference And Other News
Posted on October 21, 2009
Greetings from Moscow in Jesus’ name!
The Lord has greatly blessed the youth conference in Kursk. I am so blessed by the A-Team from South Africa: Mathys, JC and Marcel. Anointed, focused and humble ministers with a tremendous future of ministry ahead of them.
The Lord blessed the conference with great worship, strong word, healings, prophecy and various gifts of the Holy Spirit. Team ministry releases the corporate anointing!
It was great to see Mission Russia missionary Maryna Vos in Kursk. She is a real mother to the youth of that city.
All-in-all we were a team of eight people from Moscow, each moving in his specific gifting. What a joy!
ARMENIA
Tomorrow morning I will be flying to Erevan, the capital of Armenia, where Elza from Moreleta Church from Pretoria and her team will meet up with us.
We will then go to Artashat, a city in the foothills of Mt. Ararat, where the conference Elza and I will host will begin on Thursday and finish on Sunday. On Sunday I will already leave Artashat for Erevan, to preach at a church led by an Iranian apostle.

Faith Works – News From Corrie And Olesya
Posted on October 10, 2009
Dear Friend
Yes! Faith works!
Heb 11:1 NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].
The proof of this Biblical truth and the proof of God’s faithfulness – in the photo you can see Olesya standing with the Chevrolet Lanos God has provided. I told you before that God said we will receive the car only through faith. Because of the word God gave us, we booked the car when we did not have the money to pay for it. Up till now I still cannot calculate the total cost and I don’t know where all the money came from. There were so many things we had to pay at different places and every time the money was available. If I knew about all the extra costs, we probably would not have started. But, God is faithful! We thank all of you who contributed. Already we can see how the car has taken our ministry into a new dimension.

Visit To Likino-Dulyova
Posted on October 2, 2009
Dear Friends,
Please pray for my visit to Likino-Dulyova, a city to the east of Moscow. This city is close to Orekhovo Zuevo, which is known as a major center for distributing drugs.
I hope to soon give you feedback on my ministry trip to the Ukraine and Crimea.
May the Holy Spirit continue to give us all deeper revelation of the truth that the living, reigning, resurrected, glorious Christ is living in us, His children. Christ in us, the hope of glory!
In Him,
Hugo
