Burundian Army Captain Spreading The Word
Inside The Dangerous Jungle
Carlos was an important man in a cutthroat world.
He was aspecialist in processing cocaine and merited an entourage of 40 bodyguards. For a drug lord, though, Carlos had a curious hobby – he loved reading, and when nothing else was available,he turned to the Bible to pass the time.
Natalie Flasskamp Joins TWR-SA
We thank the Lord that after a period of three years of looking out for the right person to take over ERF's ministry from Rudolf Kabutz, the Lord has provided a special lady with the name of Natalie Flasskamp. She is now officially the new facilitator for TWR-SA's German ministry, ERF-Medien SA.
Thank You ERF-Medien Namibia
TWR is grateful to the Lord for a well-established ministry among German communities in Namibia since the 1990s. For many years our German devotional programme has been broadcast nationwide over various radio stations. Many listeners have grown in their faith and experienced the Lord’s wisdom and guidance through the programmes.
During July, Danie du Preez and Eberhard Haberkorn visited Namibia to strengthen relationships with our dedicated ERF-Medien team in Namibia and to identify more opportunities for ministry. We were treated so well by our colleagues and especially want to thank Kornelia Jendrissek, Bishop Erich Hertel, Beate Voigts, Ursula Ebrecht, pastors Michael Rust and Johannes Burgard, as well as Bennie van der Merwe for making our stay in Namibia so memorable and special.

TWR held a seminar in partnership with Family Impact. A local pastor who attended had this to say:
"Marriage is under severe attack these days. We are grateful to have visionaries who are able to bring together a diversity of church and community organisations to put their heads together and work out a common solution to address this debacle. We are specifically grateful to have resources that will not only empower us as pastors, but also the members of the Church to be able to help others as well. It is like empowering three generations of Christian communities and making disciples of the entire
community."
TWR's Ministry In Burundi Is Expanding
The ministry of TWR in Burundi has extended its reach geographically, through technology and by adding new programmes.
Geographical expansion
The ministry is now reaching some areas in the east of the DRC. TWR-Burundi has recently entered into a partnership with a community radio station in Lemera, a town situated about 100 km from Bujumbura, the capital of Burundi. The station has the potential of reaching at least 100 000 listeners. TWR’s programmes now airing on that station are Thru the Bible (TTB) in French and Kiswahili, as well as Women of Hope in Kiswahili.
Two Very Special Programmes
Good News for All,
The programme Good News for All has been on air since TWR launched its services in this East African nation in 1998. Reaching all corners of Burundi, even across the borders to neighbouring countries, its listeners include both young and old, male and female.
