Mainah's Examination


This year will be Pastor Agrippa's 20th year in the ministry and his 10th year of coming to America to preach each spring. Please pray a special prayer for him and Mainah as they prepare to come here together. Mainah's heart's desire is to personally thank all the people that prayed for her and supported her financially during her illness. Please pray that the US Embassy will allow both of them to come here this year.

Pastor Agrippa and Mainah are making plans to be here the month of March. We are now booking him in churches. If you would like to have him this year in your church please call me at 803 640-2954.

If you would like to help Pastor Agrippa and Maniah financially please send all donations to Impact Ministries, PO Box 5431, Aiken, SC 29804

Also, a doctor in Aiken has agreed to examine Mainah while she is here (at no charge) to make sure she is cancer free. Please pray that all of this takes place and God will be glorified in it all.

February 5 at 8:45 AM is their appointment with the Embassy. Since that is 2:45 AM here please pray before you go to bed on February 4.

We just received the email below from Pastor Agrippa.

Yours in Christ Jesus,
Ann

Dear Lynn and Ann,

We have purchased Mainah a one way ticket to South Africa for her checkup and will purchase her a ticket to come back home as the funds are available. I am riding the chicken bus. I will leave on Sunday afternoon the 25th to South Africa and we plan to be back on the 29th January if all goes well with Mainah!

Our appointment to US Embassy is on the 5th February at 8:45am our time. Please we need your prayers that they grant us the VISA.You can help me by resending the schedule and update our website with information so as to convince them that we are part of God's doing in USA.

God bless you brother and sister.
Yours, Agrippa

2009 Greetings


Ann, Lynn & Churches in SC,

Greetings to you all in the beginning of year 2009!

Congratulations we have crossed over to 2009. We praise God that He has allowed us to be in good health through His everlasting mercies. 2008 was not an easy year to us as a family as well as the Ministry and the Nation at large. We experienced the most difficult time in history. Everything just fell apart. Our health and education came to a standstill, people died and are still dying of hunger. We are just seeing His grace daily.

MINISTRY:-We thank God for a breakthrough in spite of all these hardships. We managed to train 827 Pastors and Church Leaders in Bible Training Centre in 42 schools of which 417 graduated before the end of the year. We also trained 271 Pastors, Church Leaders and ordinary members in Evangelism Explosion so that they can go out and win souls. During the process we presented the gospel to 1753 people and 1342 accepted Jesus as Lord of their lives. We praise the Lord for this great harvest in hard times like these. The mind can not understand how all this took place.

The Orphans Program:- We thank God for allowing us to minister to the lives of 426 orphans through school fees payment and also meeting some of their personal needs. It had been not easy to do this but God helped us to go through. Many organizations failed to meet the needs of these orphans due to political constraints but with us it was done by His grace. Most schools were affected by the exodus of teachers who left teaching and sort greener pastures elsewhere. Pupils were left by themselves without anyone to assist them. Thank you very much for your support in prayers and in giving, had it been not for you, we would not have achieved all this. God used you as His hand of assistance in this nation.

Family Challenges:- My wife Mainah had the worst year in her lifetime as she was hospitalized for four months in South Africa hospitals. First of all she was hospitalized for 3 days at Links Field hospital, then 4 months in Glynnwood Oncology Hospital where she was treated cancer. She is out of hospital now and she will go back on the 28th January 2009. We are not sure what their conclusion will be in the whole matter. The rest of the family is doing well with 5 of them now living in South Africa. Bongani (20) is doing his studies in Electronics Engineering at Tshwane University of Technology and this will be his second year. Nothando, the youngest is beginning her Secondary education at Girls College which is a private school. This is the most expensive college but I have no choice since thus the only place where she can obtain better education.

Please pray for us in ministry that God opens doors for support and also pray for our family as we continue in the struggles that we face.

God bless you. Pastor Agrippa Dube
