PSALM 121: 1&2 " I look up to the mountains does my help come from there? My help comes from the Lord, who made the heavens and the earth !      :8 " The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever."(NLT)     The Lord is watching over the Sound studio in Mozambique and the missionary with his family that has continued there in Moz. since we took him in 2005. The native Mozambican who was trained to do the Audio Bible recordings continues on since he started in 2005. The Lord gives the growth.  We planted and Chad Vanden Bosch ,who is with ASM,  has watered,  But the Lord has prospered and given the growth.   So many people needed  to hear the Gospel and have heard it  now in their own language, because they have gotten an Audio Bible that was recorded in their own language in the studio in Xai Xai, Mozambique.   

God is also watching over us as we transition from coming and going to Africa to being just here in the USA.  It is difficult to say we are not as healthy or as young as we were back in 2002 when God called us to do mission work in Africa. So now the recordings and distributions will continue on with Chad , Sergio and Steve. The Lord's Kingdom work in Mozambique , Africa will continue on.   We will have transitioned to doing Kingdom work as the Lord shows us here in the USA.  AFCC or Ambassadors for Christ Connecting will have ended.   ASM or Audio Scripture Ministries with Chad Vanden Bosch will continue on with the Kingdom work of recording languages in Mozambique, Africa. 

Blessings to all who have supported and prayed for us over the years. Now thousands have heard the Gospel and many have been saved through hearing the Bible in their own heart language. You have partnered with us and have been faithful to help us in that calling back in 2002.

We will cherish the memories along with all of you.

Freedom in Christ

Where the Spirit of the Lord is.  There is FREEDOM!           2 Corinthians 3:17 

Bringing Audio Bibles to unreached people groups is bringing Freedom.  Freedom from the devil's lies and Freedom in Christ to become children of God.   Jesus paid the price and we have eternal life and with that the Blessed Hope.  These people are hopeless and lost in a dark and evil world.  Mozambique is very dark at times and in certain places, but the light and Freedom has come as we send thousands of Audio Bibles in their own languages.   The Lord is breaking through and His Freedom has come to many.
We wanted to share with you this picture of these men who fought for our Freedom in WWII.
We are fighting for our Freedom and the 1st Amendment now in our country.  We as believers and the living body of Christ come together to worship and praise the Lord. We come together as the early church did now in our own homes but are apart from the universal body of believers.  When we come to church we encourage.  This is where baptisms happen and the Lord's supper.  We share prayers and physically and spiritually connect.  Perhaps now church will be more like Mozambique and Africa with small house - like churches.  Scripture tells us Jesus had the people sit down in groups of  50. Our national guidelines CDC started out with groups of 50 and then lowered it,, however now in one of their phases they are again mentioning groups of 50 people.  Churches in Africa are often held outdoors as well.  I know here in Michigan many hold outdoor services during the Summer months. Looks like that could be a good plan for the Summer for many churches????? 
So this blog today is about our hope in Christ Jesus and the Freedom in Christ to be set free from bondages .  Hearing the Audio Bible brings truth and Freedom. May we as Americans bring truth and freedom not only to our country but to those around the world.  You can be in the battle for Freedom by connecting with us  at  Ambassadors for Christ Connecting

or emailing us at vicky.dekraker@gmail.com.  We so appreciate your prayers for us and for the unreached people around the world especially in Mozambique. Prayer support and financial support are so needed.  Checks can be made out to AFCC and sent to the above address.
Finally we want to close with Scripture for this year for us and for AFCC.  Joshua 1 : 9

"Have I not commanded you .   Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified , do not be discouraged. For the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.  (NIV)

Continuing in the Faith ( His Kingdom work)

This is Keith giving God's Word an Audio Bible to a lady in Mozambique in a very remote area.
This language had been in Translation for many many years with nationals even helping the Wycliffe translators.  The Audio Bible was recorded and distributed 2 years  before the final printing in hard copy.
SCRIPTURE :  2ND Timothy 3:14,16 &, 17 "But as for you, CONTINUE in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness. So that the man of God my be thoroughly equipped for every good work."

We CONTINUE in doing Kingdom work traveling throughout the USA educating people on the need for the Audio Bible to go out into ALL the world.  We pray with you and encourage others to in turn go out and do the mission the Lord has called them to.  This is passing on the legacy of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom.  We pray this woman will in turn teach her children and the village.  They in turn will pass the Gospel on to others!

Presently Chad Vanden Bosch who we took with us in 2005 to Mozambique Africa, is married and doing recording and distributions of the Audio Bibles in their heart languages.  He is our legacy in the work the Lord has given us.  We praise the Lord for the opportunities to share the Gospel in Audio Bible form to the Nations.  Now Chad is also expanding in the Kingdom work that the Lord has given him.  He has started "New Harvest Farm"  in Mozambique to make a break through to get the people to wake up to the truth of Jesus Christ and salvation.  A 40 foot container has been shipped with Audio Bibles , farm equipment, and a multi functional tractor.  Pray with us it gets safely through.

EVERY ACTIVITY UNDER HEAVEN 2019

Ecclesiastes 3: 1  " There is a time for everything, a season for every activity under heaven." (NIV)

Acts 18: 23b  ............"visiting all the believers encouraging them and helping them to grow in the Lord." (NLT).

JOHN 4:14 " But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." (NIV).

Using these Scriptures, we'd like to explain what is happening with the Lord's work and  "Ambassadors for Christ Connecting". 

1. The Activities we are engaging in are different then when we first started out this journey with the Lord.  We now travel in the USA visiting churches and the people we have ministered with and to over the last 10 years.  Actually we have traveled since 2002 and here in the USA about 79,000 miles. To and from Africa adds up to over 200,000 miles.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             2. We share our lives with so many of you and pray with you and listen to you .  We encourage and bless you in whatever way the Lord prompts us to.  We are preaching, teaching, and presenting about the Audio Bibles that are needed throughout the world and especially for Africa.  Then the Lord raises up those funds that are needed to send more Audio Bibles out.    300 Audio Bibles were just sent out to Mozambique in the last month of 2018 and are being distributed now in 2019 to those so thirsty for God's Word!!!!

3. As you see the water well above, please remember that not only do our physical bodies need water to live, but our spiritual bodies need the Word of God our spiritual water to live and to have eternal life. 

4. So we have partnered with " Water for Life Mozambique"  and they are drilling water wells at the Wesleyan churches in Mozambique.  That is a very real physical need, and NOW we are providing the spiritual living water for their souls!!!!  The teams that drill the water wells will also be giving the Audio Bibles to the pastors of those churches to distribute to the congregation.  Oh, how we are waiting for those stories to come in.  Stories of life and laughter and joy as we know how they sing and dance when they receive the Bible in audio form!!!  Praise the Lord we are allowed to be part of this Joyful giving and receiving. And so are you !  You have partnered with us and continue to partner with " Ambassadors for Christ Connecting"  AFCC.  Thank you again and again for being faithful to pray and support this ministry financially.  Thank you!

" MADE NEW"  This is a flowing river that moves on and on, just like the Lord has us moving on in a  new direction and making Ambassadors for Christ Connecting "Made New."  See our explanation in our previous blog post.
Blessings & Love to all

REVELATION 21: 5  He who was seated on the throne said,"I am making everything new!"

JESUS IS MAKING ALL THINGS NEW.  AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST CONNECTING IS BEING MADE NEW!!!!!


We have traveled to Africa many times over the last 17 years to minister to the people and bring Audio Bibles in their heart languages.  We established a sound studio to record mother tongue languages in Mozambique, Africa. We have raised funds to bring the Gospel to remote and isolated areas in Mozambique , and other countries in Africa.

Now things are being made new in our mission organization, " Ambassadors for Christ Connecting".
The network to distribute the Audio Bibles and the sound studio  has been well established.
The young missionary man we took with us in 2005 is now married and living permanently in Mozambique and oversees the distributions and recordings. The young Mozambican who was trained in 2005, is now the director of " Crown of Victory" sound studio in Xai Xai , Mozambique and doing heart language recordings.

Our "Made New" will be fund raising and ministering to missionaries and those in ministry.
We will not be traveling to Africa, since the network is doing just fine and the mission organization Audio Scripture Ministries is working with the young missionary we took with us in 2005 as well as the director of the sound studio in Mozambique.

Therefore , we will be traveling the USA ministering to other missionaries and those in ministry.  We will be raising funds still to send more Audio Bibles to Africa and other points of the world. Pray with us and for us as we are following this Made New direction with Ambassadors for Christ Connecting.
Blessings & Love to all of you
