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

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



 

" For we are God's Masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do good things He planned for us long ago."  Thank you to the men & women who were called to protect the USA.and did the good things God asked them to do.  Blessed Memorial Day

We Are God's Masterpiece Ephesians 2 :10

 It was such a realization today that each and every one of us are God's Masterpiece.  We have two disabled grandchildren, but they are created as God's  Masterpiece. We have received a letter explaining how the Audio Bibles and the Wildlife stuffed animals are being used in Sierra Leone with disabled children and how they are effective. What a unique way to have the Bible Stories  on the Storyteller devices that are put into the pouch in each animal to reach the children.. So AFCC is helping disabled children in Africa and this is a revelation from which we did not expect. How compassionate and wise is our Father.  How all knowing and loving is our Jesus.  How detailed and directing is the Holy Spirit in all these God connections.  What a blessing to be part of the Kingdom work in Sierra Leone.

More Audio Bibles in Krio have been sent to Sierra Leone with World Hope International.  Along with the Wildlife animals AFCC sent 20 Audio Bibles in English for Liberia with World Hope International.

I'll finish by quoting the Scripture from Ephesians 2:10 (NLT) " For we are God's Masterpiece.  He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do good things He planned for us long ago."
This has been our call and our ministry to do those things He planned for us to do long ago.
An example of that is Keith was trained at age 19 yrs. to be an Aviation Electrician in Naval Air.
35 years later the Lord had Keith rewire a missionary's airplane in Africa.  This was one of the good things planned by God for Keith to do.  We are so amazed at our Lord and His plans and how He prepares us.  Continue to pray with us to get more Audio Bibles into those who can only understand God speaking to them through the Bible when it is in a oral form.

Thank you for all your prayers and support.  Kingdom work is getting done.

An Amazing God!!! His Creation is Spectacular!!!

SUTTON , ALASKA
This is the view from our missionary friends home in Alaska on the Glenn Hwy. , but  looking at the Matanuska River and King mountain from their backyard. Psalm 121 " I will lift up  my eyes  to the mountains from where shall my help come?  My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth."(NASB) What a wonder to see God's beautiful mountains and wildlife in Alaska. Everywhere we looked we saw the mountains. 

Then we looked and we began to see hurting people, a drunk in downtown Anchorage.  Later speaking with a pastor we were told of the drug problems and of the sexual problems that exist in Alaska.  Where sin is Grace abounds.  We saw the hand of God working through people we met. Christians going into the prisons, reaching out to the homeless, and helping young women in trouble.
So much beauty and so much pain.  We are sending Audio Bibles to help in the ministry to them.

Just this quick update for now.
In Jesus Christ's Plans & Times, Psalm 31:15
Keith & Chaplain Vicky

Excited to Be in the Lord's Plans

" Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know."(NIV) .

It is exciting to know and see that we are in the Lord's plans as  He has revealed them to us.
We were gone 6 weeks traveling to Alaska to bring supplies and Audio Bibles to our missionary partners that had lived in Africa and are now in Alaska. Some Audio Bibles will be brought into the prison near Anchorage. This was the first partnership in Alaska.

Keith helped with an airplane hangar and I encouraged the missionaries.  Keith also worked on a bulldozer to help the missionary.  Daily life in Alaska can be challenging.  We traveled in our Jeep and small travel trailer a total of 10,000 miles plus. The supplies were greatly appreciated.

It was amazing how the Lord prompted me to take addresses to some churches in Alaska.  So when we were near one of them I sensed very strongly that we were to stop and introduce ourselves.  We ended up meeting a couple that are both ministers with contacts and ministry that can be helped with the use of some Audio Bibles.  Native Alaskans have several different languages.  Not everyone in the villages speaks English.  Not everyone necessarily reads.  We were told they would get back to us after their friend an Alaskan State Trooper gets back from his assignment in the villages in about three weeks. They can then tell us what the language is that we need to get in Audio form on the Audio Bibles. We are sending the Wildlife animals with the Audio Bibles and Bible stories in a small pouch to them to use with children that have been in crisis . This is the second partnership and the unknown thing that the Lord was to show us.  We always pray for God to give us the opportunities and the  connections He has planned.  Now we will be sending Audio Bibles to Alaska for a State Trooper to take out into the villages.

The third connection and partnership is still being established. The missionaries will inform us what languages are needed in the Audio Bibles that will  be flown up to  the villages near the Arctic Circle and the Brooks range of mountains. Every Summer about 13 airplanes pick up children from the villages and take them to Christian Summer Camp for a week.  We are planning on sending Audio Bibles with them.  The children will then be witnesses of Christ with the Audio Bibles back in their villages. This is a prayer request to have this all come together as the Lord plans.

That's the exciting news and the Lord is yet to reveal more.
It is exciting to report more Audio Bibles and Wildlife animals with the Audio Bibles in their pouches were sent to Sierra  Leone and Liberia Africa.

Distribution African Style

Segio & his wife Juliette traveled for three weeks to the Northern part of Mozambique to distribute the Audio Bibles.  He is the National Director of the Sound Studio who was trained back in 2005 when we made the Sound Studio on the third floor of the Wesleyan Bible College in Xai Xai, Mozambique.  These Audio Bibles are done in their Heart Language the language they pray in and think in.  Scripture needs to be done in Audio because they are an Oral culture. PSALMS 27:8(NLT)" My heart has heard you say, " Come and talk with me." And my heart responds, " Lord, I am coming"
They need to know they can talk to the Lord and have that saving relationship with Him.  There were times Sergio had to go in a dug - out canoe.  Other times they walked, or took a bicycle, or a motorcycle carrying the packages of Audio Bibles with them.  

I remember how we first started.  We hand carried the Audio Bibles into Mozambique in our backpacks and luggage.  They equipment to start the Sound Studio was flown into Mozambique by airplane through Mercy Air.  Twelve years later the process still includes hand carrying.  These are remote off the grind areas.  There is no other way to get these unreached people groups their own Audio Bible to hear the gospel, BUT  to carry them in by hand.  Thousands have been distributed so far into Mozambique.  Thousands more are needed.  So we ask you to pray for More to be delivered!!!

We praise the Lord for the years He protected us as WE were the ones bringing the Audio Bibles into Mozambique.  Now it is Sergio & Juliette and others from the "Crown of Victory Sound Studio" that
distribute them in their Heart Languages.   We continue to raise funds and tell the story of the people yet to hear and yet to know our Lord Jesus as their Savior.  

If you are interested and can partner with us Please send donations to AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST CONNECTING

PS:   We have also just sent a shipment to Sierra Leone, Africa of Wildlife stuffed animals with the Audio Bible in a small pouch in the animals.  We sent 50 of them after donations were raised.  These are to be given to the Trafficked women & children that have been Rescued from their horrible life in Trafficking. We have a prayer request to send more and even into Liberia and Cambodia. Please pray with us to send 100.  Each one with the Audio Bible costs about $40.00.  Thank you for praying and thank you for supporting these gifts to be sent to these heartbroken women & children.

In His Plans & Times  Psalm 31:15
Chaplain Vicky & Keith DeKraker

1 Thessalonians 5: 15 -17( New Living Translation)

These verses relate to the recent break - in and the robbing of the Sound Studio in Xai Xai , Mozambique.  Everything that was not nailed down was taken.  All the equipment needed to record the languages, the equipment to make copies of these languages in Audio, and even the appliances that were in the kitchen of the studio apartment.  So these verses say: 15 " See that no one pays back evil for evil but always try to do good to each other and to everyone else. ": 16 " Always be joyful. :17"  Keep on praying ."  We need your prayers for the equipment to be recovered and also the funds to replace what was stolen.  We keep on praying as well for the people that are so blinded by witchcraft and cultural beliefs that allow something like this to happen.  We need prayers that the work of getting the truth out to the lost people in Mozambique continue by making and distributing the Audio Bibles.   The enemy attacks when God's work is happening. Pray that Sergio & Steve do not lose hope.  They are the national tech. people who have been doing the recording and distributions.

ALWAYS BE JOYFUL:  Mozambican women that now know Jesus are JOYFUL!!!!!!!!

Praise the Lord!!! His work will continue and His Word will go out!!!!

EXODUS 23 : 2O...... LEAD YOU TO THE PLACE I HAVE PREPARED.

The Lord has gone ahead of us in so many ways.  In the 2016 Prayer Guide that Wycliffe Bible Translators put out this year, was a page where we saw how God went ahead of us to make sure the Takwane people in Mozambique would hear the Scriptures in their heart language.  The paragraph was stating the written Scriptures , the Takwane Bible was being dedicated this year, however , that the Audio Bible in Takwane had been distributed out to the people 1 to 2 years ago already!

 THAT WAS US!!!!  We with our partner mission organization Audio Scripture Ministries had recorded their language and we raised funds to get the Audio Bibles to the Takwane people.  The Lord went before us and had the translation finished with Wycliffe(SIL) , and they gave the  transcripts to be recorded in the sound studio in Xai Xai, Mozambique.    These women are like the Takwane people when they receive the Word of God in their language.


Exodus 23 : 20 (NCV) " I am sending an angel ahead of you, who will protect you as you travel. He will lead you to the place I have prepared."

We have worked with Mercy Air to distribute Audio Bibles to the "Sena" people. Here is a quote from a Mercy Air pilot, Andy, " We have reported many times abut the awesome opportunity we have had to distribute Audio Bibles and how the Holy Spirit is touching the hearts of those who hear His Word.  We are so touched to see how technology is being used to spread the good news of salvation to the farthest corners of the bush in Mozambique."

 Here you see Keith DeKraker, Chad Vanden Bosch, and Sergio Mugina who distributed the "Sena" Audio Bibles into the Delta in Mozambique with the help of this helicopter from Mercy Air.
Five families gave their hearts, accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior only one week after this flight and distribution.  The Lord went before us and prepared the place where He wanted the people to know Him.  It is so exciting to see and be part of what our Lord is preparing & doing .  He allows us to be part of this..  You can also be part of this by praying and by supporting AFCC by getting the Audio Bibles to AFRICA.  Sending a check made out to AFCC    and addressing it AFCC  3399 142nd Ave. Holland , Mi. 49424
Prayer Request:  We have had a family crisis and that is why it has been so long since our last post. Please pray for our family in this situation.  The Lord knows the details.  Blessings to all of you!

Acts 19:2 .......NO WE HAVE NOT HEARD.......

Acts 19:2 gives us truth.  There are millions in this world yet, who have not heard. We are committed to getting the Scriptures out to the people who have not HEARD.  Two thirds of the world are oral cultures and if they don't hear the Bible it's as if they had no Bible.  They can not read!!!  It excites us to share with all of you,  that a new order of Audio Bibles is going to Mozambique.  We ordered about 275 for Mozambique.  There are pastors who have been waiting a long time to get the Audio Bibles for their people.  We specifically remember Raul , who came by bus to the Sound Studio to get Audio Bibles in his peoples' heart language. He stated that the villagers had lost their crops and homes.  Raul said they need HOPE and that was why he came to get the Scriptures in Audio.  He wanted to give his people HOPE.   The new order will make sure he again will receive Audio Bibles.

This is the Beginning of 2016 and we want the people to say YES we have heard!!!
You can help support the ministry with your prayers and financial help to get more Audio Bibles into the world.  At this time we have sent Audio Bibles into Ethiopia, Serria Leone, Haiti, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Swaziland, and Mozambique. If you want to partner with us please pray for hearts to be reached with the message of Jesus Christ, and if you can make a donation please make the check out to AFCC  and send it to 3399 142nd st. Holland, Mi. 49424

SHE IS LOOKING FOR THE NEW THING  ISAIAH 43:18 &19

SEE I AM DOING A NEW THING ISAIAH 43:18 & 19

Is. 43 : 18 & 19(NIV)  " Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.  See, I AM doing doing a new thing!  Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I AM making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland."

We are seeing new translations in heart languages being done in accelerated time by the church , the nationals themselves.   The past -   we the western world did it for them  -  Now the New thing -  they are doing it.   We give them the process and resources -  God gives them the insight.  PTL.

Wycliffe Associates our partner in getting the Word of the Lord to unreached people groups,  has through the leading of the Lord ,  a new process , modeled after the basics from Wycliffe Bible Translators, but with the added advantage of using some of the English Language Learning skills.
Also  with Technology,  using tablets for the new translators, phones, and laptop computers with software to enhance and search for them the key issues, key words etc. :  the church, the people group can and are translating.   Several languages were started in Nepal before the earthquake came.  Even when it hit , a team from Wycliffe Associates where there.   They are helping as needed and the enemy's attack will Not stop the translation work.   God loves these people and wants them to know Him.

AFCC, has provided Audio Bibles to Africa in several countries.  God is doing a New thing and wants that to expand.  His Word " The Bible"   can be printed in these remote areas,  A print on demand process is also being taught.(Pring on Demand)  POD,  can be set up and make copies of the Bible in their own languages for as small an amount as $2.00 each.   As the books of the Bible are done, they can be printed and used in the villages.   We see the New thing God is doing , and it is amazing , exciting and beyond anything we could have imagined.   Pray with us and for us as these New things take place.  Pray about being part of the funded needed to place a POD in the Bible College in Xai Xai , Mozambique and as the Lord shows us, other places.

AFCC continues to spread the Word of God in the ways He shows us.
You can be part of getting Bibles out to the people in Audio & Print  by sending your gracious

NEW SONGS NEW TRANSLATIONS NEW BIBLES NEW AUDIO BIBLES

REVELATION 14: 3 ......THEY SANG A NEW SONG........
REVELATION 5:9 ....AND THEY SANG A NEW SONG,,,,,,
REVELATION 7 : 9........"After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe and people , and language standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb."

It is a NEW YEAR and exciting things are happening.  500 more Audio Bibles have been sent to Mozambique, Africa.   New languages are being put on the Audio Bibles.  New Translations are being done around the World in an accelerated pace!  The Mega Voice devices can also hold Christian music and songs in these new heart languages.   It is spectacular to see the Word of God going out into new areas.  Nationals are being trained to do the translations because the Church worldwide is asking to have their heart languages translated. So Wycliffe Associates introduced what they call the BTAK  or Bible Translation Acceleration Kit.   God also has heard the Church Universal's prayers to get their heart languages done soone rather then the years & years it has been taking.  The Audio Bibles we distribute with our partner Audio Scripture Ministries, and Mega Voice, can be the bridge the first translation that is written, yet where the people group are oral . Now they need to learn to read their new written language.  It takes time for the people group to become literate, and using the Audio Bibles helps them in the process.  

Another Language in Mozambique!!!!!! Takwane

 These people have received their Audio Bibles, but the Takwane are next.

We are so excited to report that the Takwane language in Mozambique has just been finished in the Audio.  The language will now be put on the players so the Takwane people will be hearing the Word of God in their own heart language( the language they pray in). Continue to pray with us that many will come to know Jesus as their personal Savior.  Pray with us as the next shipment of Audio Bibles will be sent out either the end of this year or early in the beginning of 2015, that 700 can be sent or more.                                                                                                                                                    

We are presently helping in teaching other nationals from Chad , Africa, South Korea, and Brazil to understand English, and then to be able to help translate the Bible in another language that has not been done yet.  In the World there are about 7,000 languages with people groups, and of those there are still about 1,800 that still need translating.  And since 2/3 of the world is an Oral culture, and can't read there is still much work to be done in recording the Audio Bibles that need to be done yet.  Of the languages that have been written and published for reading, only about 700 - 800 have been put into Audio Bibles.  So you can see the huge need to continue what the Lord has laid on our hearts. 

Doing the English Language Learning , here at Wycliffe in Orlando, I met a pastors wife, Ramatou.

She is working with her native women in Chad , Africa.  As you can see in this picture above, the women are so overjoyed when they receive the Audio Bibles.  They will be teaching their children, and also they will be teaching other women.  How great is our God!!!! 

A blessed Thanksgiving to all of you, and we send our love,

Keith & Chaplain Vicky
