MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!! We have now ordered 750 Audio Bibles(Mega Voices)
to be sent to Mozambique now. What a Christmas present for the people there. Truly giving the Word of God to people who have been pleading to have one is also a gift to us and those of you who have supplied the funds to do this. God is putting so many details into place to distribute the SENA language into the Delta region of the Zambezi River in Mozambique. There are other languages that will also be distributed in Southern Africa. God sent His son, Jesus , a gift to us, and we want to get that gospel story out to the people. So this Christmas Day is a day to rejoice , rejoice that the gift of Jesus has come, rejoice that the gift of Audio Bibles will be going out , that the Word is being shared and distributed . Audio Scripture Ministries is our partner in the Crown of Victory Sound Studio and they will be sending 600 Audio Bibles(Mega Voices) on top of the 750 AFCC is sending for a total of 1350 into Mozambique.
Thank you for making this an extraordinary CHRISTMAS for Africa & for all of us with Ambassadors for Christ Connecting , Keith & Chaplain Vicky

Oct. 2010 His Faithfulness Continues!!!!! So many answers to prayers have come. First Praise the Lord with us as the funds to bring 500 Audio Bibles in Sena into the Delta in Mozambique has been provided. Praise the Lord !!!! Again and Again !!!!! Donations also were given to bring the funds up to about 1/2 of what is needed to build the new Sound Studio in Xai Xai , Moz. This is far greater and faster then any of us expected.
Ephesians 3:20 "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, :21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen" Then as we prayed about the timing and the dates, the Lord opened the way for the Swiss Mercy Air helicopter to schedule a date. The helicopter is scheduled to fly into the Delta of the Zambazi River for Ambassadors for Christ Connecting Oct. 17 through Oct. 27th 2011 . Next the missionaries we contacted to stay at said " Our home is always open to you" What a blessing and answers to prayer, showing us the way. We asked our Christian travel planner, Intermissions, what was available for flights. He answered with several good options and good fares. What were we to do about getting up to the Zambazi, River???
Father what are your plans? He revealed the way again, in that , the young missionary we had taken with us in 2005, said , he will be living there in Mozambique for one to two years and will pick us up anywhere we need him to come and get us. Yes, such faithfulness to proceed with His plans!!!
Yet to come, will be the details, but as you can see Our Great Faithful Father will take care of that , too!!!
Pray with us for the other 500 Audio Bibles to be sponsored and paid for , so they can be shipped into Mozambique for Northern Moz. where so many more are needed to reach the 6 . 5 million people who speak Makuwa.
Pray for our up coming presentations speaking about the needs there in Africa for the Audio Bible and the recordings .
Pray that for the permits that are needed for the Sound Studio and all those details including the rest of the funds.
We would like to be there when the Studio is finished and dedicated to the Lord!!! We are praying it could be in 2011, yet we know it maybe 2012.

In His Continuing Plans,
His Revealing Plans,

HE IS TO BE PRAISED!!!! GLIMSPES OF GOD AT WORK!!!!

Glimpses of our Great God at work in Africa ! Actually God has shown us other connections He has already planned for us to take the Audio Bibles into. One place is Haiti, as we have met several Haitian pastors, some have congregations here, and others have family and church connections there. The Haitian Creole is being done now, and when it is available we will have it distributed.
No only has the Lord put us in contact with these people , but many others have inquired and so we will pray about being involved with them. Keith is presently doing a mission trip in Freeport , Bahama with the church group to finish a fence quickly , since the government has threatened to take the church property and buildings if it is not completed by Aug.1. Pray with us that the government will give the church with pastor Dwight the deed to the property and not have any more problems. A GREAT GLIMPSE FROM GOD CAME AS WE HAVE SOUGHT HIM ABOUT THE DELTA REGION ON THE ZAMBAZI RIVER IN MOZAMBIQUE. This is where He has shown us are mostly unreached people isolated because they live on islands in this delta area, and only can you get there by a four day dug out canoe ride. NOW we are parterning with Swiss Mercy Air and their helicopter to get Audio Bibles into them in their heart language of SENA. Remember we have asked for prayer to get this Bible translation in written form done, so we could then get it done in Audio. When we got permission from our Wycliffe missionary friends, we started praying for this language to be done, so we can distribute the Audio Bibles to this mostly unreached group of people in Mozambique. PRAISE the LORD , He already has had this planned, and was putting the connections together, so that when we approached our missionary friend here in the USA about that language, Chad informed us it is being done in Audio right now in the sound studio God had us start!! Chad had come with us originally to begin this studio, and train the national, Sergio. So how we rejoiced that God kept giving us glimpses and now the bigger picture of what He is doing!! Sergio has said that the four gospels are done in SENA and much of the New Testament, and that when the Bible College readers return who speak SENA, it will be finished the FALL. That is so much sooner then we ever imagined. Not only that , but funds are coming in to help get the 500 Audio Bibles into them that we are praying for. We , still want to bring 1000 into Africa , however the need is still great for the Makua people 6.5 million mostly Muslims in Northern Moz. and we have put that language on the Audio Bibles for them.
Nhlanhla, the pastor in Zimbabwe emails us, and we still see a need for Audio Bibles in SHONA to him, plus the Audio Bible Stories. Each time we pray , Lord help us get them into that dangerous country. Shona, is also spoken by people in Mozambique in the area of Chimoio, where our missionary friends, Ron & Barb Wayner are, so we have had a distribution there. More are needed and requests are made, and our Great God will provide.
Pray with us as to the timing of our return and distribution of the Audio Bibles into the DELTA.
Pray we can financially partner with Swiss Mercy Air and their helicopter to get the Audio Bibles into the DELTA.
Praise the Lord as He makes the way to do His work & His plans through us to reach LOST people.
Pray with us that God continues to give us His vision and His plans for us and for our family.
Pray about the NEW Sound Studio we are partnering with Audio Scripture Ministries to build in Xai Xai, Mozambique. Praise the Lord for funds that have come in and the rest that will come in
Praise the Lord for my being ordained on July 9th, His timing & His plans, and the Scripture that
was given to me many years ago by the Lord. Luke 9: 1 - 6 but 6th states it well, " So they set out and went from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere."
We look forward to the future with you that He is doing and with all of you it is possible!
In His Plans & our Love,
Keith & Rev. Victoria DeKraker

We just thought it would be good to add our picture.

GLIMPSES OF GOD AT WORK!!! April 27/2010 We have had so much happen since the last entry. First please pray for Dylan age 9 and Tyler age 18 our grandsons who have Muscular Dystrophy. This is normally a terminal disease, yet the Lord has been so good and faithful to see our family through the hard times. Recently the trial medication which our Dylan has been on for two years was abruptly stopped, and Tyler was in the process of starting it. This came as a severe blow, yet our HOPE is in Jesus not the medication. It had proven to help only 15 of the children out of 165, but Dylan was one of the fifteen and so this abrupt stopping was even more traumatic to the family. I praise the Lord that our son & his wife know the Lord Jesus and lean on Him. Please pray for their emotional & spiritual well being. Pray that the research will continue and the medication which helped Dylan will be allowed to be given to him and others again soon, perhaps yet this year. This is a tall request , but our God is ABLE.

We were in Africa when this all happened and so we came home to be with family for Easter. It is good to comfort and support each other as much as possible.

While in South Africa , we saw how God works such wonders and doesn't always let us in on it. Yet this time He did in several ways. 1. We brought 100 Audio Bibles in ourselves and distributed them to the people that could bring them to Chimoio where they speak SHONA. Some went into Mozambique for the Northern area where 6.5 million live and are mostly Muslims . Then 800 came in by shipment and went into Moz. Zimbabwe also received many Audio Bibles in Shona and English. 2. The Pastor Nhlanhla Sibanda in Zimbabwe, was able to make his way to us in South Africa. This was a God event, because you see Pastor Nhlanhla, really didn't know how to find us, but God did. We did find each other and we were able to have him spend some time with us before we prayed for him and he went back to Zimbabwe, with the Audio Bibles, some written Bibles, clothes, soccer balls and funds to help him with the children in Zimbabwe at his church. 3. Audio Bibles also made it into Tanzania. Last year a young man as he was walking heard an Audio Bible playing and thinking it was a Radio went over to the person playing it. He listened and marveled at what he heard. He asked many questions and asked to borrow it for a time. Since the person knew he could be trusted , it was loaned out to this young man. This young man became a Christian after hearing the Bible and asking the pastor questions. He later asked why there was not a Church in his village( a Muslim village). He was told it couldn't happen. This time however when they asked to build a Church, the chief said YES. As of June 2009 there were 42 believers,and now in Spring 2010 there are upto 60 coming and worshiping, because of ONE Audio Bible in his language! PTL
4. Now we have gotten word that the SABER another Audio Bible device is being carried on the back of a young boy, playing the Words of God and people listening everywhere he walks in Mozambique. These SABERS have a louder speaker and have an internal memory as well as using SD cards. We have sent about 15 of them into Africa so far, along with Bible Story Card sets for the Old & New Testament.
5. Tanzania had gotten the Audio Bible remember last year in 2009, so when more were being distributed at the river on this side in Mozambique, somehow the word got across that they were being given out again. Across the river came many CANOES with men wanting their own Audio Bible. Can you imagine the hunger they have for Truth and crossing hippo & crocodile infested waters? We should have such passion and motivation here in America. Anyway it is exciting to get a glimpse of God at Work.

God gave us a new vision this time while in South Africa and that is to get the Audio Bible to the people in Mozambique who are unreached in many ways, that live in the Delta area of the Zambazi River. There are not roads and supplies and help are flown in by helicopter. We saw pictures and know the pilot with Mercy Air that goes there regularly. Keith wired a new helicopter hangar for the Swiss Mercy Air while we were in South Africa. These people speak SENA, a language that has only part of the Bible translated. We are working on a partnership with the Wycliffe translators and doing the Audio portion of what they do have finished. We would put the trade language of Mozambique on the rest. God makes the connections and He will see this happen. We are presently praying for funds for 1000 more Audio Bibles to bring into Southern Africa region, many to the Delta area. That is why this time we are asking that one American Family not only supply one African family with an Audio Bible , but also the funds to transport them in by helicopter. The Audio Bibles are $40.00, and the transportation costs we are asking for is $10.00. So if you could a total of $50.00 per Audio Bible in their own heart language. Please send checks to Ambassadors of Christ Connecting 3399 142nd Ave. Holland, Mi. 49424 The checks can have AFCC instead of the full name.
PS: one last thing I forgot to mention many are being baptized now when they truly hear the Bible in their own language. The Holy Spirit is teaching them and directing them to do this. PTL
