PARTNER NEWS UPDATE - FINISHING STRONG!

Dearly Beloved,

As we draw closer to the end of the year, I am reminded of the verse God called me with; Joshua 1:7-9 7 Only you be strong and very courageous, that you may do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you. Turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. 8 This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success. 9 Have not I commanded you? Be strong, vigorous, and very courageous. Be not afraid, neither be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
Here we are given the formula to finish STRONG! What comfort to know that if we meditate on His word in order to observe & DO it, we will make our own way prosperous AND God is with us where ever we go! WOW!!!
With all the excitement of the possible new platform to broadcast being able to reach more of Africa, we are in need of expensive equipment and software. Please will you consider asking Father to guide you to make your best gift today, as this additional gift is vital to our progress? 2 Cor 9:6-7 Here's the point: he who plants sparingly also harvests sparingly. 7 Each should give according to what he has decided in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
May the verse from Joshua 1 be a blessing for you and your family to finish this year STRONG in the Lord and the power of His might. May the blessings of God overtake you as you delight yourself in Him!
From myself and all here at TBN, may 2020 be a year of Divine Encounter as you live and move & have your being in Him and He in you!
Granny Be ☺

THINK ABOUT THIS
There is one name of God we use to praise Him with all day long. Next time you breath in, listen as you say YAH and when you breath out say WEH. Listen how we breath in and out His name all day; YAH-WEH, YAH-WEH
Yahweh - I AM, the God that exists. When we breathe, we reflect His existence and in us


31 DECEMBER PRAYER & DEDICATION

I am not sure if you saw the YouTube and Facebook posts announcing that Granny Be will be off the grid from 19 November 2019 and will come back into action and online from 20 January 2020 again. Phew, that is a long time I know to be disconnected from WhatsApp, Facebook and all those around us, but at the same time it can be so freeing. I did that, unannounced last year, going into the beginning of this year and it was just so liberating!
However, I have felt that this year we need to have a very special service of THANKSGIVING on 31 December 2019. The purpose is to bring all our prayer requests before God, give thanks to Him for what He has done this year and dedicate 2020 to Him.
If you would like to be part of this Prayer and Dedication, please send us your prayer requests and dedication notes by clicking on the CONTACT US button on TBN Namibia Facebook page or our website www.tbnnamibia.tv CONTACT US page to reach us no later than 30 December 2019. On the 31st of December I will spend the whole day praying over each request or dedication note individually bringing them before Father. This will also be during the time that I am separating myself to spend some time in prayer and fasting. Please also let us know if you would like an anointed prayer cloth sent to you when we send out the next partner gifts in 2020.
Not only did I sense the leading of the Holy Spirit to do this but I have also been inspired by the following Scriptures; Mat 6:6 But when you pray, go into your [most] private room, and, closing the door, pray to your Father, Who is in secret; and your Father, Who sees in secret, will reward you in the open.
Mat 14:23 And after He (Jesus) had dismissed the multitudes, He went up into the hills by Himself to pray. When it was evening, He was still there alone.
I really believe God wants us to prepare our hearts for a year of Divine Encounter for 2020. Prepare your hearts and mind to receive from God ALL He has for you and help you to deal with matters that stand between you and Him, holding you back in any way. When Jesus taught the disciples to pray there is a portion of that prayer which I believe God wants us to experience in a REAL way for 2020, Heaven on earth!
Mat 6:10 Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

TESTIMONIES
Dear TBN, my name is Zindoga Maisiri. Through a friend we were able to get Christian books from you. Not only are they a source of knowledge for my family but also for people who we lend out to read, sharing between people who would never come into contact with these valuable books. We have distributed Bibles to people who normally would not afford one. For me the books have answered some personal questions. They help me to help others. We are forever grateful for them, seeing how they have made an impact in our society. God bless.
ZW Maisiri.

Dear Zindoga. Know those gifts we sent to you in Zimbabwe are as a result of our TBN partners’ donations. Without their support, this ministry would not be able to reach people like you in such distant & remote places. We celebrate with you God’s faithfulness. We look forward to reading testimonies of how their lives have been touched. Blessings
Granny Be ☺



2019-09 NEWS LETTER

TBN NAMIBIA SIGNAL OFF & ON

Dearly Beloved,

On Monday 23 September 2019 NBC turned off both One Africa & TBN Namibia's TV signals from their multiplexer as part of their austerity measures. Now WHAT?
TBN Namibia is busy with preparations and negotiations to broadcast our signal on the GOtv platform. Currently the basic package is N$35 per month for 15 channels. Negotiation and finalization could take between 3-6 months as we are now heading towards the end of the year.
To have a great African program, we are looking for a total of 10 ministries across the following countries to buy airtime to broadcast on our channel; Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda and Zambia. If you know of any powerful ministries, please let us know so we can contact them.
We will let you know and keep you posted on how matters unfold. Please make sure you subscribe to our TBN Namibia, YouTube Channel and like our Facebook page for updates. We are still doing local productions that we broadcast on those platforms. Our SMS Prayer line is still very active.
Let us continue to stand together trusting God for an even greater TBN Namibia experience and more POWERFUL
reach in changing lives. We are all about souls for the Kingdom of God.
May you enjoy the enclosed gifts sent with much
love and appreciation from our TBN team and myself.
Granny Be :)

Isaiah 35:4 (GNB)
Tell everyone who is discouraged, "Be strong and don't be afraid! God is coming to your rescue, coming to punish your enemies."

HAVE YOU BEEN TREATED BADLY OR UNFAIRLY?

In my life I have encountered so many difficult situations where people have either misunderstood me or misinterpreted what I said. What makes it especially painful is when it is someone close to you that you love dearly.
Then there are situations where I was just aware of the enemy's outright attacks on my life. However, when I became aware of a malicious complot against my life by people intending to harm me and I uncovered their evil plans and schemes, I was challenged on how to handle it. Confronting them in a gentle manner just made it worse.
In turning to God for wisdom on how to handle them, I received the following:
Jesus said in Matthew 5:44~But I say unto you, LOVE your enemies, BLESS them that curse you, DO GOOD to them that hate you, and PRAY for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Well it took me quite some time to be able to bless them as they were just constantly plotting evil and it just did not seem to stop. HOWEVER, once I was able to begin to practice this Scripture purely by choice, God began to work in my heart and life and I am just so grateful for that. Simply beginning to DO that Scripture helped me to walk in forgiveness with them and I even began to view the situation totally different. This mean I did not have bitterness or resentment towards them either.
What Jesus said is supported in Romans 12:14 ~ Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
When I read through the Psalms and some of the statements which David made regarding his enemies, I was really tempted to do the same, BUT that was the Old Testament and we have a new Covenant paid with the dear blood of our Saviour. Don't be locked in your past or allowing your mind to overthink or play those movies repeatedly in you head of all they have done wrong. Rather unlock your future that has huge Kingdom purposes and see your life transform and you being so blessed as a result of blessing those have wronged you. God's Word is POWERFUL and when we DO what it says we create our own future for GOOD! Granny Be :)

2019-07 NEWS LETTER

Dearly Beloved,

Wow we are over half the year and I keep being excited about this year. I have such anticipation and expectation. Yes, we have had many battles BUT GOD!!! He never ceases to amaze me, there is ALWAYS much more to thank Him for.
Besides the move from Whk to Swk being a long process due to all kinds of technical issues, we have been making some progress in Swk, with the new studio almost complete as we just need some extra lights. Currently we are focusing on all the signals. Both the receiving and sending signals have their different challenges but we elaborate in the other article.
Our playout servers died some time ago and was that a story to buy the new parts! We encountered so many obstacles even to the point that I was banned from Amazon to purchase anything! All I could do was laugh, as we have a mandate from Father and I know my God will ALWAYS make a way. Nevertheless, after a long story the parts have arrived and they are busy with assembling. The time-consuming part now is to get software that copes with new technologies and platforms? BUT GOD! I know He ALWAYS causes us to triumph, thus we will report on that soon too.
May you enjoy the enclosed gifts again sent with much love and appreciation from our TBN team, and myself.
Granny Be :)


BEHIND THE SCENES

It's always so exciting to hear all the testimonies and see the amazing Christian programmes from around the world, however, to get those programmes to you is quite a story.
Here in Swakopmund, where we are currently trying to receive the signals of the various channels and even find more with interesting African content for your spiritual growth and enjoyment.
To do so we have been advised to replace the one small DSTV dish with a stainless steel dish for receiving the TBN Africa signal. The larger dish, where we receive the 4 TBN USA channels from, needs to aligned and installed. Then most of the fibre installation has been completed and can only be completed once the incoming signals are well received. The cost for all we currently need is just under N$250,000. Without anyone knowing the needs we have, some partners already contact us to say they want to increase their monthly giving. What a testimony and reflection of them hearing from God! We honour your obedience and thank you for the head start. Now who's ready to help us raise those funds for the growth of the Kingdom?
We have been so blessed to receive all those wonderful books, CDs and DVDs to share with our partners. We also managed to enter into some barter agreements with Nampost and were able to have those precious gifts delivered to your post boxes for the last few years. Sadly Nampost called up all their barter agreements and we have had to pay huge costs in sending out the parcels, which means we had to make some calculations on the way forward. We are pleased to announce that any partner donating;
* 1. Below N$ 150 per month will still receive gifts from time to time.
* 2. From N$ 150 upwards will receive their 2 gifts every second month.
* 3. From N$1500 upwards will receive the extra gifts advertised too.
Please just note that from time to time TBN USA market gifts that we cannot send via post due to their size or type of packing, other than that we will endeavour to send the same type of gifts as they have marketed in appreciation of your PARTNERSHIP with us to send the Gospel out. Some of you have been walking this road with us for many years very faithfully and we are so grateful to you.
Granny Be :)

TESTIMONIES

Morning my spiritual friends. Your day be blessed greet Mrs Botha also. God may give you people strength to go ahead. Thanks for all the CD and teaching books it helps a lot in my growth.
Thanks for the feedback. We are so blessed the gifts are helping you. Sadly you did not leave your name but most of all we want to appreciate your support of this ministry. God bless you mightily. Granny Be :)

Translated: Thank you for your prayers. My granddaughter is out of ICU and now in a normal ward. They are still monitoring her brain and breathing. Thank you, the Lord bless you.
We are celebrating with you God's faithfulness and the way He answers prayers. Blessings. Granny Be :)



2019-03 NEWS LETTER

The PASSION of Christ!

Dearly Beloved,

Precious partner, it is the time of the year again to celebrate Father's GIFT to the world, Jesus Christ! Additionally, Jesus revealed His true passion for us when He GAVE His life in order to reconcile US to God!
We will have a special time of prayer and fasting during that time again, praying for YOU and your loved ones on 19 April 2019. We will break the fast with communion celebrating and praising God just as Jehoshaphat did in this month's story.
Should you have any special prayer requests you would like to add, you are welcome to send them via email to comments@tbnnamibia.tv or SMS text to +264 81334 5574, to reach us no later than 18 April.
I sincerely appreciate you for your faithful support, we are so blessed to have you as a partner. Your gift has impacted several lives again. Boldly we shout, THANK YOU! Lots of love from the TBN team, and myself we bless you from beautiful Swakopmund.
Granny Be :)

God invited me to have communion with HIM everyday this year. It has been the most precious experience I have enjoyed with God for a long time! Every day as I partake of the communion I seem to embrace yet another angle or attribute of the Passion of Christ. I did not realise there were just so many, many blessed aspects to celebrate. I have taken every one of those aspects and prayed them over my family, the ministry, friends, and partners, just as the Holy Spirit would lead. A very precious involvement that I greatly treasure also, is just how the room would fill with the presence of God the moment I take the elements in my hand. What a rich experience and absolute empowering time of refreshing.
The Word tells us that Jesus is the Father's GIFT to the world and that Jesus GAVE His life for us or in our place but I would like to encourage you to reflect during this holiday time on what a price it was and what did He really pay for??? Ponder and meditate the entire story from Passover to the Passion of Christ, how they are connected and beyond. No matter what we go through in life, what Christ did on the cross is the absolute answer for just about anything.
It makes me think of the story of King Jehoshaphat when the multitudes came to fight against them and he said in 2 Chronicles 20:12 O our God, will You not exercise judgement upon them? For we have no might to stand against this great company that is coming against us. We do not know what to do, BUT OUR EYES ARE UPON YOU! In the same way let's keep our eyes on Jesus. This is followed by a very famous portion of Scripture where the prophet reported what God said in verse 15; The Lord says this to you: Be not afraid or dismayed at this great multitude; for the battle is NOT yours, BUT GOD'S!
REMEMBER it was Jesus that battled with the devil and now we do not have to battle with him because we have been given AUTHORITY by Jesus; Luke 10:18-19 And He (Jesus) said unto them, I beheld satan as lightning fall from Heaven. 19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and OVER ALL the power of the enemy: and NOTHING shall by any means hurt you. Here is just another aspect of what Jesus paid for on the cross to celebrate during communion!
Then let us follow Jehoshaphat's example of what he did next? 2 Chronicles 20:21-22 When he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers to sing to the Lord and praise Him in their holy garments as they went out BEFORE THE ARMY, saying, Give thanks to the Lord, for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever! 22 And WHEN THEY BEGAN TO SING and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir who had come against Judah, and they were [self] slaughtered;
Have a very blessed time when celebrating the Passion of Christ with communion and prayer. Share your experience with us please.
Granny Be :)

PARTNER NEWS UPDATE:

Dearly Beloved,

God is so rich in MERCY!!!
Without going into too many details, I would like to share with you around the TBN move from Windhoek back to Swakopmund. The owner of the building we rented in Windhoek wanted us to hand the building back with just the 4 walls of the factory, meaning we had to demolish everything we built. This in itself is a very costly exercise and I really did not feel at peace for our income to literally be thrown away, paying for the demolition work. We prayed and asked Father to make a way for us, that what we have built, would be a huge blessing to someone and that they would need most of it.
Then OUR GOD, who is so rich in MERCY, made a way. God provided new renters that needed most of what we had built, HALLELUJAH!!! Yes, we had to remove the stage and walls in the main studio and that demolition cost around 20K BUT that was such a small fraction of what the entire demolition costs would have been.
Precious partner I just want to appreciate you for your faithful support, we are so blessed to have you and your support as we impact lives together to the GLORY OF GOD! Lots of love from the TBN team, and myself we bless you from beautiful Swakopmund.
Granny Be :)

A HEART FOR GOD : THE LIFE OF DAVID:

Have you ever looked at someone that has done so many things that just are wrong or very bad, yet they seem to be very blessed, while you try so hard to live right but yet you have suffered so much? I would like to present to you a Biblical example for consideration as a solution.
David must be one of my TOP Bible characters that I have learned so much from! Can anyone be worse than David; who committed adultery then murdered the husband through outrageous, premeditated plans! Compare him to Saul who only seemed to have wanted God's blessings on the battle he was about to enter into and when it seemed the prophet Samuel, was not coming, he just offered up the sacrifices himself. YET, what Saul did, cost him his kingdom! 1 Samuel 13:14 But now your kingdom shall not continue; the LORD has sought Him a man after his own heart, and the LORD has commanded him to be captain over His people, because you have not kept that which the LORD commanded you.
What is it that makes such a huge difference between Saul and David, especially from God's perspective? Just look at the following verses and see if you can detect the catalyst?
David prays in 1 Chronicles 29:17-19 I know that You test everyone's HEART and are pleased with people of integrity. In honesty and sincerity I have willingly given all this to you, and I have seen how your people who are gathered here have been happy to bring offerings to You. 18 LORD God of our ancestors Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, keep such devotion forever strong in Your people's HEARTS and keep them always faithful to you. 19 Give my son Solomon a WHOLEHEARTED desire to obey everything that You command and to build the Temple for which I have made these preparations
When David encountered the most difficult situations in his life, instead of crying, oh woe is me, and feeling sorry for himself, the Word says;
1 Samuel 30:6 David was greatly distressed for the men spoke of stoning him because of the souls of them all were bitterly grieved, each man for his sons and daughters. But David ENCOURAGED and STRENGTHENED himself in the LORD HIS GOD!
I would like to encourage you today to present your HEART towards God and to encourage and strengthen yourself in the Lord your God and just see how your life changes! Glory to God!!!
Heartily Granny Be :)

TESTIMONIES

Alfeus TBN I thank you so much for praying for me. Your prayers helped me know how to pray and know what is wrong and how to live the life God wants us to live. It is not an easy but please continue to pray for me.
Yes, Alfeus, it's not always an easy road to follow God but it is the MOST rewarding and HE makes us MORE THAN CONQUERORS, Through Jesus Christ who strengthens us, HALLELUJAH! Be blessed Be :)

Claudia All the Glory to God (translated) My house that I have been struggling to finish, with the help of my Heavenly Father, it is now FINISHED! I thank you that you have carried me in your prayers, Amen
Wow that is such a milestone Claudia! This is just such a lovely testimony of how God really cares about ALL aspects of our lives and if we continue to trust in Him we will enjoy His blessings. Be :)



2018-12 NEWS LETTER

Dearly Beloved,

Today I would like to take up the whole newsletter to share our TBN story with you as a highlight to closing off this year, hopefully inspiring you how to look at God in the midst of your circumstances or difficulties .
In 2012 when the country was preparing for digitalization (TBN had to prepare as well in order to continue broadcasting), we realized that we would have to find a way to get our signal cost-effectively to NBC, who was commissioned by the government to create the new digital platform in Namibia, and to terminate the satellite feed as part of responsible business practice. However, the only building we could find at the time was very big, and we were advised that we should consider using this big building to create a large professional studio to rent out as there are no such facilities in Namibia and we would easily earn the monies needed for the expensive rent of the building.
That was the beginning of a huge financial drain. My husband took out a bond on our home to help pay for the changes needed to be done to the Whk building to build the facilities needed and to buy the extra equipment required for a professional studio. Before we were finished that money was depleted and I used my whole inheritance to finish the studios. We then employed various people over a period of time to market the building and raise the income but they were never able to meet the financial needs thus heavily draining the ministry funds for the huge rent. We were really between a rock and a hard place as there was just NO other suitable facility available that was smaller and in direct line of site for the signal to reach the NBC.

BUT GOD! The landlord and his wife are an amazing German couple. God worked in their hearts and they contacted me after renting a few years saying they wanted to see me. They lowered the rental price back to when we moved in and did not increase the rent for an additional 2 years before they started the annual increase again.
However, when technology became available for us to broadcast from Swakop at a much lower cost than the Whk rent, we immediately pursued that possibility. While we did not have the funds to move or break down that which we built as required in our rental contract, we felt that seeing as in our industry equipment grows old quickly, we should sell everything we can. That would mean fewer moving costs and the income from the sales could then pay for the demolition required. Sadly, we did not manage to sell enough to cover the costs, especially the anticipated demolition.
BUT GOD! Not only did God find someone to take over our rental contract but they loved what we had done to the building and said if they move out, they would break down as the owner requires. Thus, praise God, there is not that much to demolish.
We needed NBC to give permission to our service provider to install the equipment needed to broadcast from Swakopmund.
to Whk and it has become a huge battle as we have not been able to receive any responses from them for a while now. We decided that as we know NBC is having its own battles, we will just bless them and pray for them while we trust God to make a way.
BUT GOD?! He has made a way for us to make some minor changes in Whk in order to continue broadcasting from there from the little room I used to stay in while in Whk AND we have been able to work on another possible route to use that will allow us to broadcast from Swakop. There is just way too much to GLORIFY our God for and there is just not enough space to tell of all His amazing deeds!!!!!
BUT GOD!! Psalm 60:12 THROUGH OUR GOD WE SHALL DO MIGHTILY


PARTNER NEWS UPDATE:
We had a barter agreement with Nampost and in July they informed us that we had to renew the agreement, which we did. The Marketing manager left and due to various internal matters they have not processed the new agreement.
BUT GOD! He has made a way for us not only to send the older ones out but the current postage too. Thank you for believing in us and your continued faithful support. I know we always report back on how the ministry influences the community but this issue we just had to GLORIFY our God for how he has provided and sustained this ministry to continue impacting lives. The next issue we will share about the future and all the exciting new possibilities available for 2019. Thank you for your partnership this year and empowering us to do so much. We just want to bless you and your family with an amazing 2019, from myself, Granny Be and all of us here at TBN.

2018-08 NEWS LETTER

Dearly Beloved,

I need to make an important announcement in keeping my promise to be transparent and keep you informed; I submit the following statement;
It is with a heavy heart that I announce that my husband, Coenie Botha, and I have now come to the end of our 34-year marriage relationship due to divorce proceedings being finalized. Even after counseling and other interventions, according to his request, I have released my husband. I desire your prayers for us during these trying times please.
I will continue to head the ministry as I have been doing since 2013 after my husband left and I want to continue serving our KING, furthering His Kingdom.

Thank you for your faithful support, we are so blessed to work with you for HIS glory. With much appreciation from myself and the TBN team, we bless you from beautiful Swakopmund. Granny Be :)

YOUR TESTIMONY:

They OVERCAME him by the blood of the Lamb and the word of THEIR TESTIMONY. We are looking for YOUR testimonies or glory stories!!!
Let us MAGNIFY the Lord together; let us honor what He has done. We want to add your stories to our TV programme. Do you want to tell the world what God has done for you?
Please email your testimony of not more than one page or 250 words to Riana on pledge@tbnnamibia.tv We will contact you when your story is selected.

IS GRANNY BE RETIRING?

ACE (Accelerated Christian Education) was pioneered in Namibia by Coenie and Granny Be Botha in 1987 when the first mixed Church school was opened in Walvis Bay.
She elaborates; "Those years Walvis Bay was under the old Cape Administration and they did not want to register our school as mixed schools were against the apartheid law. When we saw that we were getting nowhere fast, we decided to move our school to Swakopmund and registered it with Namibia, the rest is history (His story)" as she glorifies God.
Granny Be has had such a passion for seeing people develop and grow their potential. She says; "In the many years that I have travelled our beautiful Namibia, I have been able to prove it again and again, that we do not have stupid or dumb people in Namibia, we have undeveloped people." Although her life work has included teaching children, which she enjoyed very much, she realized she could be more effective in training teachers, which she has done since 1998.
When asked what was so great for her about the ACE system, she enthusiastically answered; "Oh there are just so many components but the most important one is the way ACE uses the Word in the curriculum. Take Psalm 119:130a 'The entrance of Thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding' KJV Oh how I have observed the power of God's Word light up the inside of a person so that they gain understanding much easier, the testimony is how those same undeveloped children dramatically change as they begin to grow in understanding. Then there is also the aspect of preparing children for success in life through training in the Character Traits of Christ, Goal Setting is mastered and most of our Alumni testify to the academic and business success they have attained as a result of a lifestyle of goal setting. How much more do you want?"
Pioneering seems to be in her blood as she organised the first Namibian Christian Educators Convention, First Namibian Christian Student Convention, First Namibian Administrators (for leaders) Convention and so the list continues. She has served as Managing Director for decades but has now stepped down after 31 years of service. We asked her if she was now retiring and with a hearty laugh, she boldly stated; "No, I am just taking time to "re-fire" as I enter a new season in my life. A huge workload lies ahead of me to finalize some ACE administration for handing over, then some TBN administration, I need to prepare Swakopmund for TBN to move back. That will be far more cost-effective now that there is a fibre optic cable to connect us to Windhoek which is much cheaper than the huge monthly Windhoek building rent and finally the big move back to Swakop, where we have exciting new ideas for the future, more on that, later."
We want bless Granny Be and her teams to continue with the passion and vigor they work towards flooding the Nation with the Good News.

URGENT & IMPORTANT:
We often receive many of the gifts we have sent to our partners as being returned because they were not collected in time from the post office. In order to avoid that happening to you in the future, please contact Riana on pledge@tbnnamibia.tv or SMS us your name, partner number and EMAIL ADDRESS then we can notify you timely when we send out the new gifts so you can collect them before they are returned.

FAMILY:
Some time ago I listened to The Shack and there is a part where the Holy Spirit is supposed to be speaking which was portrayed by a hearty black mamma. Wow! Did that rattle my cage?.. My immediate reaction was to just switch it off as this did not seem in line with the Word, then I felt lead to continue listening and I am so glad I did that, as it made me realize that there is just SO MUCH MORE to experience of the Trinity family and I was grateful for this seemingly weird angle that enriched my encounter with the Holy Spirit.
God must see huge value in FAMILY as He reveals Himself as FATHER and He has a Son. The relationship between the Trinity family is very special and MOST IMPORTANTLY is the way they are connected and in unity yet we can clearly see their individuality.
We as humans have such a real need for belonging and that is also why you many times find youngsters joining gangs in order to belong somewhere as they come from dysfunctional families.
You might come from a dysfunctional family, broken home, single parent, orphan, or any other "broken" situation and each one of those situations are filled with much PAIN. If you find yourself at such a lonely painful place, I would like to encourage you to grow your relationship, getting CONNECTED to the Lord, the Most High God and discover the "BESTEST" FATHER and Ouboet :). I pray that you discover how to draw near and very close to God through the Holy Spirit. Don't let your dysfunctional past destroy your future but rather let Father God, our dearest ABBA, build you and make you whole while you renew your mind to think, live, be and serve Him as you are now part of the ROYAL family (He is the King of Kings) The BEST is yet to come.
I pray that this Mother's day and Father's day you are able to resolve any painful issues because you have been forgiven, now you can forgive and you can whole heartedly live
Ephesians 6:1-3 1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2 Honour your father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) 3 That it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth.
Sincerely Granny Be :)

PARTNER NEWS UPDATE:

Dearly Beloved,
 
We have been negotiating with the Namibian prisons in order to place some of the books we receive in their libraries, so please pray with us for that to realize and thus add more value to your donations received by this ministry.
From some of the partner donations received we were able to donate books to a school. They wrote;
"We hereby wish to express our gratitude for the above donation, which will profitably be utilized by the students, as well as the church members. Growth of a Believer is enhanced through fellowship, studying and hearing the word of God. Your donation will fulfill 2 Tim 2:15 where Paul told Timothy "Study to shew thyself approve unto God, a workman that needed not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth".
Power Station Christian Academy has been established by the church, Power Station Christian Centre. The Sanctuary is in the same complex as the school. We attached a photo displaying the receipt of the books: from left to right Pastor Louw, Evangelist Louw, Vicky Joel, the head girl and head boy Grace Robinson and Agostinho Chissingui.
Once more thank you. Greetings to your staff. Yours-in Christ, Pastor William Louw, Power Station Christian Academy"
Thank you for your faithful support as we co-labour for many souls to be saved through this ministry as a direct result of your donation. Remember, we pray for YOU, daily!
Granny Be :)

Elaine Good morning thanks for all the prayers in 2017 till now I praise God both my children got jobs

Lucia no operation any more everything is ok no pain als thnkx you because u prayer for me my god bless you


A WORD FOR 2018:
Every year I take some time at either the end or the beginning of a year to find out what Father wants me to do or believe for or any other special message He has for me regarding the approaching year. I fasted for 21 days in December 2017 and would like to share with you what I believe is not only a personal message to me but you will also be blessed by it.
I believe Father was saying, that the main focus of our lives is to make JESUS OUR FIRST LOVE. The last few years I have had so many attacks from the enemy in all areas of my life and had to battle severely for many things. I became aware of how easily my mind would wonder and race around the various situations I found myself in. One evening, I was sitting in my bed so overwhelmed by one particular situation, when all of a sudden I became aware of His presence.
Although the Word says He will never leave us, I don't know about you, but sometimes it really seems as if I am alone in battle when I go through difficult times especially when everybody and everything seems to be against me. Well the moment I became aware of Father's presence, I could sense how He was looking at me with such pain in His eyes. I could see in His eyes the pain I was going through that moment and more. Then I felt how He must feel when we are just so busy and absorbed in OUR troubled world instead of having our "minds stayed on Him" Isaiah 26:3.
I immediately stopped everything, turned around and just started to worship and adore Him. He longs for our FOCUSED FIRST LOVE.
1 John 4:19 We love Him, because He FIRST loved us. Revelation 2:3-5 And you bore up and have patience and on account of My name you have laboured and have not wearied. 4 But I have against you that you left your FIRST LOVE. 5 Then remember from where you have fallen, and repent, and do the first works. And if not, I am coming to you quickly, and will remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.
Although there are consequences to not having Him as my FIRST LOVE, just think of all the BENEFITS of having the King of Kings as my first love. I pray you can enjoy an amazing first love relationship with Him. Ask Him to help you if you don't know how. He said that if we draw near to Him He WILL draw near to us. Enjoy the journey of LOVE fulfilled.
Then after that I heard just 3 short words; "I will provide." He will provide; it is a year of provision for the vision. What is God calling you to do?
2 Peter1:10 Therefore, brothers, rather be diligent to make sure of your calling and election; for doing these things, you will not ever fall.

If you do not know, ask Him. I pray you will find His direction and vision for your life quickly so that you can experience His provision for His vision in your life. God bless your 2018!!! Sincerely Granny Be :)

2017-09 NEWS LETTER

TO OUR PRECIOUS PARTNERS:

Dearly Beloved,
 
I am so excited about the opportunity that God has opened for us. Your financial contributions have made it possible for us to offer some of our programmes to One Africa to play on Sundays. They are not just on the NBC decoder and that means we immediately have a whole new audience we can reach with the Gospel.
We are busy with negotiating agreements and we will also be able to advertise our prayer line number for prayer requests and present them with the opportunity to accept Jesus as Lord by contacting us to pray for them. Those salvations and answered prayers will all be accredited to YOUR faithful support.
After we had to transition from analogue signal (when you watched us by just plugging in an antenna into your TV) to the current DTT (digital terrestrial transmission - where you now need a NBC decoder to watch us) we lost over 75% of our viewers and income as many people could not afford to buy the NBC decoder AND pay for a lisence. Thus the fact that we are still broadcasting is such a miracle that YOU are also part of.
Thank you for your faithful support as we co-labour for many souls to be saved through this ministry. God bless you mightily!
Granny Be :)

PARTNER FOCUS:

Dearly Beloved,

We want to sincerely thank our partners for your continued support. As a result of your commitment to support TBN in Namibia we have been able to send a lot of literature and Bibles to all the PRISONS in Namibia where God can touch lives dynamically. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Johan writes: (translated) "Morning and a blessed day for you. I am very thankful for the literature you have sent me. My spirit and faith grows a lot because of the books your sent me. Thank you"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TBN NAMIBIA:
On the 15th of May TBN Namibia celebrated 15 years of serving Namibians with fresh manna over the airwaves.
This milestone would not be possible without the continued support of all our faithful partners and friends.
I would like to sincerely also thank the staff for their commitment over the years. You have stayed even though we encountered very difficult times. Your dedication and sacrifices to God's ministry has much fruit credited to your names. You are an amazing team. THANK YOU

VICTORY COMES FROM GOD!
Isaiah 54:14, 15 & 17
14 You will be established in righteousness. You will be far from oppression, so you will not be afraid. You will be far from destruction, so it won't come near you.
15 "If anyone attacks you, it will not be my doing. Whoever attacks you will be defeated by you.
17 No weapon that has been made to be used against you will succeed. You will have an answer for anyone who accuses you. This is the inheritance of the LORD'S servants. Their victory comes from me," declares the LORD.

HOW CAN I TAP INTO THAT VICTORY?:
Have you experienced anything really PAINFUL or extremely CHALLENGING lately?
Well I found myself at such a place of pain and realized that victory is the challenge of a choice??
Yes, when you encounter a very unfair situation or even unbearably painful, you are faced with choices:
1. Tell others what unfair situation you are in. OUTCOME: They will feel very sorry for you and you might gain a huge support group BUT will stay there. Or
2. You might respond with "an eye for an eye" and plot your vindication and quite frankly it might not only be legal but justifiably you "fighting" for your rights. OUTCOME: exhausted, wounded in battle, financially, physically and spiritually drained. Or
3. You can trust in God to fight for you by acting on the Word He gives you for your situation. OUTCOME: learning to be patient and trusting Father, then see the VICTORY He orchestrated for you.
Yes, there are many more choices to select from but the above sketches the
majority BUT it is the GODLY/BIBLICAL choice that promises VICTORY!
The Scripture from Isaiah 54 is what God gave me for my situation. The strongest part for me was "You will be established in righteousness" Live by doing what is RIGHT! I was challenged to walk in love and forgiveness and then Romans 1:12 Be NOT overcome of evil, but overcome evil with GOOD.
May you be strengthened to persevere with what Father reveals to you to do and so enjoy the VICTORY THAT COMES FROM GOD.
Granny Be :)



2016-11 NEWS LETTER

Dearly Beloved,
 
What a joy it is to write to you again and to thank you for your continued dedicated support as we share the Gospel together. What a blessing to see how your support constantly affects people's lives and we are honoured to be part of such a wonderful Kingdom vision.

Today I would like to touch on PAIN! I am sure you understand that word and it immediately brings something to your mind that you associate with PAIN; it can be physical pain of some sickness or disease, it can be some heart tearing/piercing experience you are going through with family or friends even the agonizing pain of seeing a loved one reject God?? We all know pain. However, today I want to encourage you to look at pain differently. I know the Word says:
Matthew 13:50 Then the angels will throw the evil people into a blazing furnace. They will cry and be in extreme pain there. (for eternity)
BUT THE WORD ALSO SAYS FOR NOW & THE FUTURE!!!
Luke 4:18 (Jesus said) The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised (look at all the pain He came to set us free from NOW, right where you are)
Revelations 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. (something to look forward to; a painless future for eternity, wow!)

Danny Silk said: In the Kingdom of God there are no powerless people or victims, instead you will only find powerful people and victors in the Kingdom of God! Let God's Word work mightily in YOU to make you a powerful VICTOR!

Please remember to contact us and let us know what we can pray for YOU. We love to pray for you every morning and to speak God's favour and blessings over YOU & your family's lives. Granny Be ☺



2016-08 NEWS LETTER

Dearly Beloved,
 
Glorious greetings from God our Father, our Lord Jesus Christ and our precious Holy Spirit! I want to bless you with this Word from Father today:

2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

We are changed by HIS Spirit as we keep our focus on Him. I want to encourage you today PRACTICE to focus your mind on Father, think about Him when your mind wonders and see what He does IN you and THROUGH you!

This letter just wants to acknowledge and appreciate your giving to TBN Namibia. Here are some bonus gifts that we are so excited to bless you with. Thank you so much for your continued and loyal support.

WE NEED YOUR HELP PLEASE: TBN USA has asked that we send them on continual basis, testimonies of what God is doing in your life through TBN. Please write to us via SMS, email, FB or whatever means and share with us how God has touched you through TBN and don't forget to send some photos which we can publish. If you have an amazing story, please contact Riana at 064 40 1100 to book the time that we can record your testimony.

Please remember to contact us and let us know what we can pray for YOU. We love to pray for you every morning and to speak God's favor and blessings over YOUR & your family's lives. We believe God has great plans for you! Granny Be ☺



2016-06 NEWS LETTER

Dearly Beloved,
 
After many years of silence God has empowered us and provided the means to contact you again. We are so blessed at how God has kept us through the difficulties of transitioning from analogue transmission to digital TV on the NBC decoder platform.

I would like to share with you a verse that God used in a powerful way to work inside me the capacity needed to overcome and keep on holding on during difficult times. Although Father gave me promises, almost immediately after receiving those promises, so many things happened that were absolutely OPPOSITE to the promises He gave that I really felt the need to check if I heard correctly and that those promises were indeed from HIM. Well I was so blessed when Father responded with:
2 Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises:
that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature,
Can you just imagine that, we can partake of the divine nature just by keep on holding on to the promises of God, yes, and truly I can testify of that! I want to encourage you; look up those promises that God gave you. Stir yourself up and proclaim them daily. Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart and lean NOT on your own understanding. Hebrews 10:23ÿLet us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for HE is faithful that promised;)

We have been so blessed by the relationship that has developed between TBN USA and TBN Namibia. Since Matt and Laurie Crouch visited us in March 2015, every second month we have been able to send the same monthly gifts to our partners in appreciation for their support. Besides the many testimonies of how these precious gifts of various books, CDs and DVDs have impacted their lives, there are still daily people accepting Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, while so many testify of answered prayer, healing and so much more. We are so grateful to God for the results of this ministry.

We were wondering how did you make the transition to digital? Do you have a NBC, DStv, GOtv or any other type of decoder? We would love to hear from you. Use the contact details above and let us know how you are watching TV these days, BUT most important of all let us know how YOU are. Is there anything we can pray for you? The heart of TBN Namibia is to support our viewers,

May God richly bless you and your family. With lots of love from all of us here at TBN Namibia, Granny Be ☺



2016-03 NEWS LETTER

Yes, that brings GREAT JOY and all of that is because of YOUR faithful support. I just want to say from my heart THANK YOU SO MUCH! Remember we are committed to praying for you all the time.

2016-01 NEWS LETTER

Dearly Beloved,
 
GOD IS BIG! It's 2016 and this first month has come and gone and you might not feel excited anymore about the new year due to failed new year's resolutions or pressing financial problems, bad news, overweight, sickness or ailments that popped up from nowhere. The list can just go on and on BUT I want to encourage you that God is BIG! Immediately change your thoughts from all your problems and think about this;
* GOD delivered the Israelites from slavery & can deliver YOU from whatever enslaves you.
* GOD delivered Daniel from the lion?s den & can deliver YOU from whatever wants to devour you
* GOD provided food in the desert & can provide in ALL YOUR needs according to HIS riches
* GOD healed so many & by the stripes of Jesus YOU WERE already healed 2000 years ago

> Isa 26:3 You wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You: because he trusts in You.
> 2 Cor10:4-5 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal (worldly), but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5ÿCasting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
> Eph 3:20-21 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

We at TBN just want to sincerely say THANK YOU for your precious gift towards God's Kingdom as daily we receive so many testimonies of how peoples' lives are being touched by your faithfulness. Change is coming if you KEEP your mind on our BIG God!

EXCITING & BREAKING NEWS!!!!! Watch DSTV channel 344 on 4 March for the launch of TBN Africa and let us PRAISE GOD TOGETHER! Although the immediate launch & broadcast will have to be from RSA due to various reasons, meetings have been arranged with all parties; ourselves, the Crouches, DSTV, etc. on the way forward so that we can BROADCAST THE GOSPEL ACROSS AFRICA FROM NAMIBIA. Please pray with us as we are excited to see God's promises unfold for Namibia.

Please write to us via SMS, email, FB or whatever means and share with us how God has touched you through TBN. May God richly bless you and your family. With much appreciation from all of us here at TBN Namibia, Granny Be ☺



2015-11 NEWS LETTER

Dearly Beloved,
 
Years ago, when my husband and I were newlyweds, pastoring a church in Walvis Bay, we were busy organizing a Christmas programme that would be very special for families to enjoy. A couple came to us asking if we knew how Christmas was started and where it came from. Well those years there was no Google only the library. I became inquisitive and visited the library doing research. After we considered what was found we decided not to celebrate Christmas anymore. However, I loved the feasting aspect of celebrating God. When you read the Bible especially Leviticus 24, you will find there are many feasts of the Lord and from that I know God also wants us to feast and celebrate with the focus on HIM. We as a family started to celebrate THANKSGIVING either the last or the first day of the year, depending on what would work best.

I would like to encourage you to set aside a time of THANKSGIVING. We make a very special meal and dress for the occasion as if we are going to meet with the King. During the meal we would thank each other for anything specifically that happened during that year, then we would thank God for everything He had provided, organized or whatever was appropriate to thank Him for. We would enjoy communion together and pray about the year ahead. How blessed we are to be close and begin a year with our focus on God. You might not have any family that might appreciate this with you; well the Bible talks about taking care of the orphan, widow and the stranger in the land. We often used to have a mixture of those people sharing THANKSGIVING with us. God is so good, let us celebrate and give HIM thanks He truly deserves it!

SMS RECEIVED: There are so many people with desperate needs and while I was reading some of the SMSs that came through this one really touched me again.
"Goodday, please pray for me I dnt have a job, I have a child his 9yrs old, the father dnt wory with him his using drugs" please please help me? We ALWAYS pray for YOU our partner and over all the prayer requests that come in. I want to ask if you would not also consider praying or doing whatever God leads you to do so that we can reach out better to those in need around us.

Please write to us via SMS, email, FB or whatever means and share with us how God has touched you through TBN. May God richly bless you and your family. With much appreciation from all of us here at TBN Namibia, Granny Be ☺



2015-08 NEWS LETTER

Dearly Beloved,
 
Every time I hear of someone that accepted Jesus into their lives, I get just as excited as if it was my very own child or grandchild that has done so. Over the years we have had the privilege to see so many thousands get saved, YET, there are still millions that need to hear the GOSPEL. I guess that is what keeps me fired up moving forward in the work of the Lord, knowing the HARVEST is so BIG. TBN Namibia sending the Gospel into Africa negotiations, are still well on track, even though there are still some "mountains" in the moving process. Can you just imagine how many people will then be able to accept Jesus, HALLELUJAH!!!

As a faithful partner of TBN to reach the lost for Christ, we want to pray for any of your loved ones that are not yet saved or need to return to God, having backslidden. Please send us their names to pray over. You can either send a SMS or email with the word SALVATION then all the names of the people you want us to pray for. We will also be sending out a FaceBook message that you can add their names there. During September we want to fast and pray for them. IMPORTANT please keep record of the date and names and let us know when their lives change.

Recently when I was reading this Scripture verse; Matt 6:26 Look at the birds of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are ye not much better than they? Wow look at God's heart! Whether you need to be fed the Bread of Life or actual food for your stomach God knows your need, where you are at, and WANTS to provide for you. We are SO blessed.

TESTIMONY:

Immanuel sent an SMS "lost my job my life is a mess please pray for me"
TBN asked if he would like to accept Jesus. He said yes, and we prayed for him also sending him a prayer to pray on his own. We normally follow that up with sending a booklet that explains SALVATION to add value to the experience. Early last month he wrote again:
"Desperately need work please pray for me too please"
This month we received the good news:
"Thank you Lord I did get a job AMEN"
What a faithful God we serve, not only did he get saved he also had his prayer answered and got a job! Please remember to share your testimonies with us of what God is doing in your life so that we can share it with others.

I look forward to hearing from you soon. May God richly bless you and your family. With much appreciation from all of us here at TBN Namibia, Granny Be ☺



2015-07 NEWS LETTER

Dearly Beloved,
 
WOW! I was so overwhelmed by the huge POSITIVE response from so many of our viewers and partners we wrote to last month; sharing briefly how God has challenged us to increase our vision and offering everyone the opportunity to join and be part of the vision by either increasing their monthly contribution or if they would like to start contributing monthly. It was exciting to see how many of our viewers and partners showed their support and I want to sincerely say THANK YOU VERY MUCH and Glorify God for your positive efforts in helping us reaching more people so that Africa can be saved!

We have been praying God's blessings over you and your family, however, I don't know about you, but for many years after my salvation, it was very difficult for me to receive anything especially from God, even though He promises so much. Here are some Scriptures that paint such a true picture of not only that God wants to bless us but that He does it so that we can bear much fruit for HIM to harvest for HIS Kingdom!
> Heb 6:7 For the earth which drinks in the rain that comes often upon it, and brings forth herbs appropriate for them by whom it is dressed, receives blessing from God:
> John 15:7-8 If ye(you) abide(live) in Me, and My words abide(live) in you, ye(you) shall ask what ye(you) will(want), and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
> Mal 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in Mine house, and prove Me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
> Deuteronomy 28:8 The LORD shall COMMAND the blessing upon thee(you) in thy(your) storehouses, and in all that thou(you) set thine(your) hand unto...

Someone recently asked if I knew that Moses was the first person to receive medication in the Word. They explained that he apparently told God that he was sick and tired of all the daily complaints he received, so God suggested Moses comes up the mountain to fetch some tablets. :) I hope you enjoy your tablets this month and when you look at them you will remember what a FAITHFUL, MIGHTY AND LOVING God we serve.

TESTIMONY:

Ann Marie contacted TBN as she was backslidden and needed God desperately. After interacting with her and praying for her, she wrote a SMS testifying how her whole life has changed and she is serving God again. Also while watching TBN, pastor Kitching said if you have pain then you should put your hand on that place while he prays. Ann Marie praises God for healing her the moment he prayed. Please remember to share your testimonies with us of what God is doing in your life so that we can share it with others.

I look forward to hearing from you soon. May God richly bless you and your family. With much appreciation from all of us here at TBN Namibia, Granny Be ☺



2015-06 NEWS LETTER

Dearly Beloved,
 
I love Passover and Pentecost as I enjoy to remember and celebrate the many reasons that Jesus died & rose!
Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He hath anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor; He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
#Excited #Celebrating #HealBrokenHearted #LiberatedThe Bruised #ItIsFinished and, and, and?

When TBN Africa went off Multichoice channel 341 and was no longer available anywhere, Matt and Laurie Crouch from TBN USA and their team, decided to visit all the TBN stations in Africa as part of the process to get TBN back onto the African continent again. When they visited Namibia, WE were so blessed by what they said.
LAURIE CROUCH : This is the best and cleanest facility in Africa, even the toilets are beautiful!
MATT CROUCH : TBN Namibia has done much more with their income than any other station in the WORLD! (TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!)

We were very blessed by their visit but I greatly appreciated and valued that they placed us in a position to send to you, our precious partners, the similar gifts that you see being advertised to the USA partners on a regular basis. Please make sure that we have your correct Postal address and contact details at all times so that you don't miss out on all the blessings. Please go online to our website and update your address yourself or any other vital details or SMS us via the prayer line.

We have embraced God's URGENT call to EXPAND our outreach in order to touch many more souls for His Kingdom. Please will you consider increasing your monthly contribution to enable us to answer that call? Early in 2013 when I was seeking direction from Father, He showed we should not look at TBN Namibia being FOR Namibia only but FROM Namibia. Will you consider helping us be obedient to such a huge call from God to reach AFRICA for JESUS? Please let me know what Father is leading you to do.

Namibia celebrated 25 years as a nation and inaugurated our third President, who boldly announced ?This is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it!? Wow, how I rejoiced when I heard him say that. Let us continue to PRAY for our leaders as God directs them with WISDOM.

Thank you for YOUR faithful support to this ministry, your commitment has played a huge part in the success of this ministry and the thousands of people we celebrate who accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. The purpose of TBN Namibia has always been to bring "hope into homes" so that people can get saved, in short SOULS, SOULS, SOULS! Some of our partners have faithfully supported us over the years, even though they are not able to watch us because they understand the value of SOULS in God's Kingdom. I want to sincerely thank you for positively affecting people's lives ETERNALLY. We regularly pray for YOU.

HELP! Do you know someone that would like to help TBN Namibia research and install a good CRM programme?
I look forward to hearing from you. May God richly bless you and your family. With much appreciation from all of us here at TBN Namibia, Granny Be ☺



2014-04 NEWS LETTER

Dearly Beloved,
 
This letter and enclosed magazine gift is to remind you of what an important part you and your seed sown into TBN Namibia have played in people being snatched from the grips of hell as they have been saved through the Word going out via the ministry of TBN Namibia. Every week we print the names on Facebook of those who got saved through your precious seed. I want to sincerely thank you for your faithful support, it is quite simple, no money = no ministry, as have been evident last year. Know that I and the TBN team pray for you daily and we highly value your constant and valuable support.

I want to bless you with this Word:
2 Corinthians 9:7-8 AMP Let each one [give] as he has made up his own mind and purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion, for God loves (He takes pleasure in, prizes above other things, and is unwilling to abandon or to do without) a cheerful (joyous, "prompt to do it") giver [whose heart is in his giving]. [Prov. 22:9.] 8 And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation].

I look forward to hearing from you May God richly bless you and your family.

With much appreciation from all of us here at TBN Namibia. Granny Be ☺



2014-03 NEWS LETTER

Dearly Beloved,
 
I want to encourage you with a word from Paul as in 2 Corinthians 4:1-2 (KJV): "Therefore, seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But we renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God."

BREAKTHROUGH News: TBN Namibia is currently planning a Praise and Prayer event "Tonight's the Night" where we will thank God for the rain in Namibia and pray for BREAKTHROUGH! Therefore quickly please send us your prayer requests by sms (0813345574), email (comments@tbnnamibia.tv) or via a FB message (inbox - to keep it private) on our Facebook page. We are going to pray for you and your family for a BREAKTHROUGH! Remember, NOTHING is too big or impossible for God!

This event will take place on Friday, 7 March 2014 at 19:00 and the venue will be at the TBN Namibia Windhoek Studio, 7 Brahman Street, Northern Industrial Area, Windhoek.

GREAT News: We are on Facebook! You will find TBN Namibia on Facebook at www.facebook.com/tbnnamibia. We have created the event on FB and we are getting great responses. Please like our Facebook page, then FORWARD the event ("Tonight's the night") to the people on your Facebook (if you don't have Facebook please tell your children, friends, Pastor and your congregation). We would like to invite you to join us. So, PLEASE like us on Facebook. This is very important and you will see why.

We are in the process of organizing that the event will be streamed live on our FB page through Ustream go to www.ustream.tv.

I hope you are able to be part of this event it's time for a BREAKTHROUGH.

VERY IMPORTANT News: TBN Namibia is now back on the air in Windhoek, Rehoboth and Okahandja through normal TV viewing, and in Walvis Bay, Swakopmund and Oshakati you can watch TBN Namibia through the NBC decoder (which you can buy directly from NBC or Mobipay at only N$199-00 [N$100-00 if you are a pensioner]). The rest of Namibia will follow soon.

I would like to close with the following Paul wrote to the Corinthians. 2 Corinthians 4:5-6; (NLT). "We don't go around preaching about ourselves; we preach Christ Jesus, the Lord. All we say about ourselves is that we are your servants because of what Jesus has done for us. For God, who said, 'Let there be light in the darkness,' has made us understand that this light is the brightness of the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ."

Thank you so much for your support over the years, that is why so many lives have been saved, sick bodies healed, marriages restored, the list is endless. Let's keep this Gospel going over Namibia. I hope to see you Friday 7 March at 19:00 for YOUR BREAKTHROUGH!

God bless you and your family, Granny Be ☺



2014-02 NEWS LETTER

Dearly Beloved,
 
I have been fasting and praying like I always like to do at the end of a year to prepare my heart and listen to Father's direction for the next year. During this time I also prayed for every TBN partner and I believe one of these below will bless you. Be :)
Isaiah 26:3 You (God) will keep him (her) in PERFECT PEACE whose mind is stayed on You; because he (her) trusts in You

Romans 10:11 ~ Whosoever believes on Him (God) shall not be ashamed

1 Thessalonians 5:18 In EVERY THING give THANKS; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

2015 (2+0+1+5=8) The number 8 in the Bible represents a new beginning, meaning a new order or creation. Eight is the number of Jesus, whose name in the Greek adds up to 888. God bless your 2015! Granny Be ☺
