Hand and Ruth has been full time missionaries since 1996 and fellowship at ECF. They work in prisons in the Boland area and the De Novo rehabilitation center, sharing the gospel through various courses and teaching character development and life skills to adult and juvenile offenders.
Hans gives us a special Fathers day message with a challenge from the parable of the prodigal son and the steps to repentance and renewal.
As we continue our series in John, Hans leads us through dark days for Peter when he denies His Lord. He then looks back at Peter’s journey of faith (called, convicted, comforted, challenged, confessed, confident) to the point where Peter reaches the dark moment where his courage fails. Hans challenges us in our generation: if we want to take a stand for Christ, we too may come under the attack of Satan whose desire is for us to lose faith. But the story ends with Peter graciously being brought back by the Lord and being commissioned and showing faithful commitment to his Lord and the church through the rest of his life.
Hans gives some valuable input on some of the key sensibilities we need to have to be Godly fathers, to ensure we pass on the baton securely to the next generations. These being: reverence, faith, hope, prayer and worship.
Hans, a missionary working in prisons in the Boland areas, shares on this incredible account of Jesus, the resurrection and the life. He encourages us to be “glory carriers” and brings us to the point of action based on Jesus teaching in John 11.
