Thank you! And our Christmas prayer for you…

Thank you! And our Christmas prayer for you…

Thank you, from our team of staff and volunteers, for your prayers and partnership as we, together, help to ignite a passion for God’s Word.

 

 

 

And as we celebrate the birth of Jesus during this Christmas season, we pray that you and your loved ones will experience His joy and peace.

COME, THOU LONG EXPECTED JESUS

Come, Thou long expected Jesus
Born to set Thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in Thee.
Israel’s strength and consolation,
Hope of all the earth Thou art;
Dear desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.
Born Thy people to deliver,
Born a child and yet a King,
Born to reign in us forever,
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.
By Thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts along;
By Thine all sufficient merit,
Raise us to Thy glorious throne.
By Thine all sufficient merit,
Raise us to Thy glorious throne.

 

Charles Wesley, 1707-1788

Meet Kyla Brits

Meet Kyla Brits

 – our marketing and media coordinator

 

We would like to introduce Kyla Brits, our Walk Thru the Bible marketing and media coordinator. We are grateful, not only for her hard work on our websites and media but also for her great attitude to life, as demonstrated in her life motto: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The only time you look back is to find things to be thankful for
– so that you can build your faith.
Otherwise, only look forward!

We asked Kyla a few questions to help you get to know her…

Tell us about your role at Walk Thru the Bible and how this fits in with your unique gifts and talents

I love the science of marketing and the art of website design – and so I am grateful that I can serve the Lord in my role as marketing and media coordinator at Walk Thru the Bible.  It is a privilege to use my passion for the Lord’s work and that is a ministry unto the Lord.

Why do you have a passion for the mission of WTB – ie igniting a passion for God’s Word? 

We all need more of God’s Word in our lives. Walk Thru the Bible’s specific focus on helping people to engage with, and love, God’s Word is helping me and others get closer to God, through His Word. I love that with my job, I get to help spread the Word and stories of God’s goodness. I get to help make the message known over the media!

How did you come to know Christ as Saviour?

I remember as a little girl, my mom led me through the prayer of salvation. Then when I was older, I used to watch Decade of the Daring – a teen christian programme on television on Sunday afternoons. There they advertised a camp, which I ended up attending and where I re-committed my life to Christ. Everything changed from then.

Can you provide a fun fact about yourself and your family?

My husband and two daughters are all go-getters, so we like hiking and being active. On holiday, we rarely rest, but explore and do everything that is available in the surrounding area!

“We needed this before we started our theological training!”

“We needed this before we started our theological training!”

A group of young Dutch Reformed Church ministers from the Free State are excited after
recently being trained
to teach otLIVE. 

“otLIVE gave us the context and big picture of the Old Testament.
We needed this before we started our theological training!”

 

This group, many of whom work in the rural areas of the Free State, will teach otLIVE in schools and churches. They were also enthusiastic about using it in the old age homes where they minister, commenting on how the movement with the hand signs, activity, and fun would be beneficial to all – old and young.

One of the new instructors went home and immediately taught the big picture of God’s story to his family.
Enjoy this video that he sent of his children in action. We rejoice, that already at this young age, these children understand how the stories of the Old Testament fit together – and are able to use the hand signs as fun memory prompts.

Please pray for the over 100 new otLIVE instructors being trained in Zambia and Zimbabwe

Please pray for the over 100 new otLIVE instructors being trained in Zambia and Zimbabwe

We hope that you are as excited as we are about these videos
            they sent us
– showing their preparation.

 

These instructors who will be trained during September 2023, have already demonstrated huge commitment, by learning all the otLIVE hand signs in advance, before the training even starts!

We trust that God will do great things through this group as many more children and adults come to understand the big picture of God’s story and His provision of a Saviour for us, in Christ! 

 

In the words of some of the instructors: 

I am going to impact my community with otLIVE!

I am going to teach others what I am learning about the Bible!
