Robert & Dorah Yoder Newsletter (Fall 2020)

Greetings in JESUS NAME!

We hope and trust that the Lord is keeping you safe just as He is keeping us. South Africa is getting hot now since it is springtime here, and we are so grateful to God almighty who created heaven and earth. We have been in lock down since March, and now we are in level one since the Coronavirus cases have gone down. It has not been easy, but God has been so good to us and we can testify that none of us as a family or on the base got the virus. So it’s a big THANK YOU to God. May God keep you and protect you in Jesus’ name. Numbers 31:49

We are now in term six of our Teen Missions calendar. We have 10 students in our Bible, Missionary & Work (BMW) Training Center. We have also started weekend evangelism at a nearby place where they usually do Saturday market and there has been a great response to the Word of God. People are really hungry and thirsty for God. We have started going to a Thursday church service for an hour of ministry with the homeless. A lot of things have really changed, and we pray that the Lord will send laborers into His harvest. Next week we hope to start the Sunday school since most of the restrictions are eased.

We have been in South Africa for just over two years, and we just celebrated our 13th anniversary. We are so grateful to God for His faithfulness in our marriage and His many blessings that have come along with it. Our family is doing well. Dorah and I  are not teaching this term as we are working on our visas, so we request you stand with us in prayers. Our children were on break for two weeks—they went back to school on October 5. 

We want to thank our family, friends and supporters for your generosity towards us. Your support goes a long way. Thank you for being the hands and us the feet to help carry this mission assignment. May God bless you and continue to bless the works of your hands. May you receive help from the Lord in time of need. With your support we are able to have bread on our table, our children are able to go to school and we are able to receive medical attention and many other necessary things. Thank you so much once again for all your support; we really appreciate it. 

When you think of us pray for:

1. God's protection and wisdom as we lead.
2. The grace of God to abound upon us.
3. Our Visas to be granted.
4. BMW South Africa students - for spiritual growth.

Yours in Christ,

Robert, Dorah, Esther, Ethan and Elisha Yoder
