Donate to Phinehas and Deborah

Phinehas and Deborah are in a creative access location working with local believers to equip leaders, facilitate church planting and build gospel relationships. They are working primarily with three local tribes, reaching out to them with the message of Jesus.

They were called to serve in global mission in 2003 after serving in their home church for many years. They and their two teenage daughters love Jesus and are walking in His grace in response to His faithfulness to them over the years.

The challenges of their ministry include not only reaching out to the unreached with the gospel but also leading teaching and discipleship classes to help equip local church leaders to effectively lead, serve and plant churches in their home country.

Kathleen Quellmalz has served in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, for 30 years with Safina Street Network, an outreach working with vulnerable children and young people. Pray for those who have taken up the reins of running Safina from her. Ask that the Lord will lead her clearly as she returns to Tanzania early next year to support Safina in the areas of public relations, fundraising, and mentoring volunteers and foreign staff, as well as seeking to be open to new ideas, as the spiritual care of children and young people is still very close to her heart.

Pray for the 90,000 San of Namibia who live in the area of the Kalahari desert and are experiencing massive cultural shifts as their traditional way of life is disappearing. Pray they would look to their Creator God and believe in the one whom He has sent to save them. Praise the Lord that a recent survey in Namibia found two alive San churches, with men and women praising the Lord in their beautiful clicking language! Praise the Lord that the gospel is spreading amongst the San. Stories from Botswana relate that the San are gathering to pray. The Lord is majestic in holiness, awesome in glory and working wonders! Pray that many more San would believe Jesus’s words: “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.” (John 11:25-26)

Pray that Christ-centred, reproducing, culturally appropriate churches will be formed among African peoples in dependence on the grace and power of the Lord, in partnership with African churches, and with priority for unreached people groups.

Creative Access

We use ‘Creative Access’ to refer to nations, areas or ministries where there is great hostility towards Christianity and where traditional ‘missionary work’ is not possible. Workers, therefore, need to be ‘creative’ in how they proclaim the liberating news of Jesus Christ. In North Africa alone, 200 million people from 472 unreached people groups are unreached with the gospel. That’s 200 million people unknowingly heading for a Christ-less eternity.

Church Development

We hope that our church development work with local African churches will lead them to be centres of hope and love that draw more people to Jesus.
