Ephesians in Queenstown, South Africa

I’m home from an exciting and very profitable 9 day trip to South Africa. The students received a grasp of how to interpret the epistles (Romans – Revelation) and as a bonus, the overall message of Ephesians. Everyone was very pleased, and we are anticipating the next session in June – Prophetic Literature: Isaiah and in Kimberly, Mark. Here are a few pictures of our time together

Discussions. Glancing questions.

Candle holders on the piano for evening singing.

Sunday morning church. The pads and bell are a particular tribal musical custom.
So much for venti, grande, and tall.

We listen to the Scripture and use this small but mighty speaker.

The ladies are very capable. Tea not coffee.

12 foot spectacles on the waterfront in Cape Town, “…having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,” Ephesians 1:18 (ESV)

Notes, notes, discussions and more notes

We print Ephesians in a workbook so the students can mark the text up freely and take notes.

Not our good works

Filled to the measure of the fullness of Christ

Getting arranged, while singing, for a group picture.

Preaching from 2 Samuel in a church near Cape Town. African culture is story oriented.

Our family retirement party for Vickie. She’s a full-time grandma now!

Playing with grandma

I’m headed to Minneapolis on Monday for a week of meetings and then to Sierra Leone for two weeks. Please pray for the students that they would grasp the principles and the enduring truths of the gospel of Mark and Ephesians.

Thank you for reading, praying, and giving.

Bob and Vickie

  1. Bob, We love getting your communications. Congrats to Vickie. I know that she will love being a full-time grandma as much as Sheree does, although it can get to be a bit expensive now that she has all of that extra time to shop for the grandkids. Bless you as you continue to serve Him and His church. – Doug Dennee
