The Brotherhood
We believe that the church needs a brotherhood, submitting one to another in the fear of God. Each individual is set for the edification of the whole.

Brothers
Jaco van der Merwe
Missionary & Evangelist
Brother Jaco van der Merwe came to salvation in 2003. He has a great zeal for the Lord since that time and very soon he started praying to be released from his business to go into fulltime ministry.
The Lord first needed him to be a witness in his Jerusalem before he would go to the uttermost parts of Namibia. He faithfully ministered where his work would take in Namibia, Angola and South Africa. He had many opportunities being a traveling salesman.
In 2013 the Lord opened the door and Brother Jaco went on early retirement. This allowed him to go on unlimited missionary travels and continue as freelance representitive for his company in the north of Namibia.
He is currently based in Windhoek but travels between the different locations in Namibia

Pieter Jansen van Vuuren
Brother - Klippiespan
Namibia has a large farming community and Brother Pieter finds himself rooted there on a family farm in the Nina district called Klippiespan.
He started visiting the fellowship from time to time with his family since 2012. He joined the brotherhood in 2017 yet he and his family have been part of the fellowship for at least 4 years.
Pieter is a widower and lives alone with his 4 children farming with cattle, sheep and goats.
His family uses every opportunity to witness of the grace and peace they have found in the will of God for their lives and living in the fulness of that joy. Through the sorrows of the death of the beloved wife and mother God grew fruit from ground watered with tears.
