The night cometh when no man can see to work. For that very reason it is important that we redeem the time we still have. Not only to reach the lost, but to also get built up in Christ and learn how to lay hold on the promises of God that are to equip us to be overcomers in time of need. For those of you who are not aware of it, we want you to know that we have a WhatsApp ministry where we send out the Word on a daily basis Monday through Friday. If you would like to receive these messages to learn more, please let us know. We will be happy to include you!   OUTREACH: We meet people of many different nationalities and cultures when reaching out on the street. Before leaving South Africa someone prophesied over me that I would be involved in youth outreach. Today while walking the streets I was impressed by how I was predominantly meeting young people and realizing that our main outreach ought to be on the streets where we are most likely to meet the lost. Here I am ministering to a couple of young people. One of who eagerly signed up for our Whats App ministry. His friend was a Muslim, and I was able to give him a good witness and a lot to think about. He was not ready to receive the Lord, but before they left I asked if I could pray for him, which he readily agreed to. A big seed was sown and we pray it will bring forth eternal life for him. BIBLE STUDIES: This month we have been studying through the book of Ephesians. (We have shared more about this in the “Word” section towards the end of this newsletter. We are learning to slow down and to think more deeply about the message in each of the verses (in other words we are learning to meditate more deeply and to seek to understand what we are reading, as well as to ask questions when something comes up that is not clear to us. As someone once said, “We ought to turn our Bibles upside down before reading it, to give us time to think about what we are reading and not just speed through it, thinking, “I know that’.) FOOD DISTRIBUTION:

At the food distribution center we had an unexpected health control visit. Everything is checked: the cleanliness, the way temperature of the refrigerators, the way we handle and sort the food, that no boxes with food are placed on the floor, etc. We are happy to announce that we passed with flying colors and got a big smiley face! Praise the Lord! Also the number of people we serve has increased. The people on welfare have had a cut in their income which has affected many. TRACTS: With the help of Filip, a very dear friend who housed us when we first came to Denmark, we are presently going through the tracts that have been translated to Danish. Having been out of the country for decades I am slowly getting back into the language, but need a lot of help when it comes to the grammar (and even some choice of words) and especially the punctuation which follows different rules that the English language. Nevertheless we are happy with the improved version we are able to produce through our united efforts. We have also just been offered, by a new Bible student that joined our group, to  possibly get a professional that she knows involved. We will see if that develops or not. The point being that the Lord is working in amazing ways. If we just get started with what He shows us to do then He will raise up everything that’s needed including the man-power. CAFE RESPECT: This month one of the meetings at Café Respect (where the local community, mainly consisting of Arabs usually meet) we had a special meeting where the people, most of them being refugees from war, etc. where encouraged to express themselves through poesy and art. Everyone was invited to think about just one main word that would sum up their emotions, longings of their heart, etc. All were then encouraged to write the word on a piece of paper along with a simple illustration. These illustration will then be prepared for linoleum cutting for next time we meet. There was also an exercise of expressing our hearts, writing it on a post-it paper. We were then invited in turn to either read it aloud or simply place it in a “Love Box!”. We all gave thanks for each comment without commenting. BYKIRKEN (THE CITY CHURCH): For the past two approximately two years (since we came to Denmark) we have been attending the Vineyard church. Nevertheless we have now reached the point where the Lord has stirred us up to look for another fellowship where we can thrive better and hopefully be more fulfilled and a greater blessing. For this reason we have been visiting “Bykirken” in Odense. The sermons we have heard this far have been feeding and inspiring. Nevertheless we  are cautious and will be very prayerful in choosing which church to join as members. We want to visit more churches in search for our “new home”. Please pray for the Lord to make His will clear. Thank you! WHATS APP MINISTRY: Here are some of the many reactions we have received from the WhatsApp ministry. We minister to over a 100 people through this ministry 5 days a week. Besides these beautiful reactions we also received questions, prayer requests, testimonies, etc. · Dearest Rita thank you for sharing. I have felt this for years. Thank God we are on the same page. Sooo much Religiosity in the church. Jesus came to set the Captives Free. Sending you both Lots of love xxx! · So true! Thank you for all the confirmation! · I have used the last part as a lesson in an English class in the church. Everyone was fascinated and wanted to learn the truth more than just study English. So it's not just English class anymore, it's missionary training. · Morning  Rita, I went into this pastors ministry (Andrew Wommack) and I found him so good that i will gather money to buy some of his books. If someone give me money for a present that will be the first present  that I buy. Thanks for sharing his book. What is the title of this book? So when ever I have or get money that I will not buy this book. Have a good week  . It is such a beautiful morning here by us.  Lots of loves. God keep on blessing you both and thank you for being such a good friend who I trust and come to with questions. · Help me to release the indwelling of God Holy Spirit as a believer in Jesus Christ and a born again, speak the truth and encourage others. · Lord help me to be bold and do what Andrew Wommack is saying in this article. · Thank you soo much. This means a lot beloved Rita. Prayer can do more than anyone of us can fathom and do. Amen! Prayer cuts across all and can "Jump Them Borders". · Great lesson and advice highlighting the Old and New Testament. · This prayer insight by Andrew Wommack is very good and his examples of how not to pray. · Oh Wow.  Lord have mercy on us. Never thought of it  in that way.n You see, we never ever seize to learn. Amen! · I am looking forward to reading next what Andrew's solution to praying correctly and effectively. I normally pray thanksgiving, praise, scripture, need and specifics. · What an amazing and powerful lesson for us to know, learn from this article and apply in our walk with the Lord. This definitely, sets us free. · This is scary to realize that prayers are not working because prayers are wrong ad done with the wrong motives. Praying for years and not seeing manifestation of healing or finances not improving or things just not working.  What an interesting revelation. · A Better Way to Pray is our new book to read and learn from. May our hearts be ready to receive what the Lord will reveal through this book for our good and growth in our prayer life in Jesus Christ name. Amen! · Love this.  Our prayer life has got to be real & it’s important to enjoy our time with the Lord. Thanks Rita. FEEDING WORD FOR YOU: This  month we studying through the book of Ephesians. One of the things we learned is that Paul’s letter to the Ephesians is different compared to many of the other New Testament letters he wrote. Like Romans, Ephesians was not written so much to address problems in a particular church; more so, it was written to explain some of the great themes and doctrines of Christianity.  In the first chapter you have the doctrines of the gospel; in the next, you have the experience of the Christians; and before the Epistle is finished, you have the precepts of the Christian faith.  Verses 3-14 was written as one long sentence in the original language. It is a doxology where Paul praises God for His amazing plan of salvation that began before the foundation of the world, to the cross and till the end of time.  As a group we are reading through these verse by verse taking the time to meditate on and share what we can draw from each verse, as well as to be able to ask any questions that might come up. We will also be looking at the following 10 questions included below. I have included the answers and pray it will be a bless you!   Ephesians 1:1–14 – Questions & Answers 1. Who is the author of the letter to the Ephesians, and what is his role? Answer: Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God (verse 1).   2.  To whom is the letter addressed? Answer: To the saints in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus (verse 1).   3.  What spiritual blessings do believers receive in Christ? Answer: Every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places (verse 3).   4.  When did God choose believers to be in Christ? Answer: Before the foundation of the world (verse 4).   5.  What is God’s purpose in choosing believers? Answer: That they should be holy and blameless before Him in love (verse 4).   6.  What does it mean to be predestined for adoption? Answer: God lovingly chose believers to be His children through Jesus Christ, according to His pleasure and will (verse 5).   7.  What is the purpose of God's grace in redemption? Answer: To bring praise to the glory of His grace, which He freely gave in the Beloved (verse 6).   8.  Through whom do believers have redemption, and what does it include? Answer: Through Jesus Christ’s blood, including the forgiveness of sins (verse 7).   9.  What mystery did God make known according to His purpose? Answer: The mystery of His will—to unite all things in heaven and on earth under Christ (verse 9–10).   10.  What role does the Holy Spirit play in the life of a believer? Answer: The Holy Spirit is a seal and a guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession (verse 13–14). PRAYER REQUESTS: REVIVAL AND AWAKENING: We would like to ask you to join us in praying for the Lord to bring revival to Denmark, but not only, but also to all of Europe and the world. And for us to continue to do our part towards this end! (Mark 16:15) LEADERSHIP: For the Lord to raise up godly leadership and influencers in the European parliament and all the European countries. For our nations not to forget God and to turn to Him in this our hour of need. And for wisdom and guidance for the powers that be. PEACE: We pray that our country, and Europe, will not find ourselves at war, and that all the invasive drone activities will stop. And for peace in the Middle East and Ukraine. And against persecution of Christians around the world. THE VINEYARD CHURCH: Please pray for the changes and restructuring of the Vineyard church. And that the Lord raises up new leadership with the vision for evangelization and discipleship. A VEHICLE: For us to be more effective in our ministry we need a vehicle. Please join us in prayer for the vehicle the Lord has for us to manifest soon. Thank you so much! LANGUAGE STUDY: Philip is working hard to meet the requirements for his stay here, one being that he gets a good grasp of the Danish language. Please pray for a supernatural understanding and comprehension of all the Danish grammar, and for an increased vocabulary. Meanwhile I am trying to learn Arabic through various free online courses. The area we live in predominantly consists of Arabs that speak little or no Danish. OUR UPCOMING TRIP: We are claiming Proverbs 10:22, “The blessing of the Lord makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.” We are claiming a safe journey with no delays, cancellation, or unwelcome events of any kind. And for good health! hank you! In closing we want to thank you our precious partners, who support us and our ministry through your love, prayers, etc. Together we are spreading the Good News and establishing the kingdom of God in the hearts of many. As a team we are stronger and can accomplish more! Thank you! Much love, prayers and appreciation, Philip and Rita Please remember our new details are as follows: PayPal: force4good.fvs@gmail.com

NEWSLETTER CONTENTS: 1. FOOD DISTRIBUTION: STOP THE FOOD WASTE 2. BIBLE STUDIES 3. OUTREACH 4. DANISH LANGUAGE STUDY 5. THE VINEYARD CHURCH 6. FAMILY VISIT 7. CHARLIE KIRK 8. THE WORD 9. PRAYER REQUESTS Dear Ones,  We love and appreciate you very much and thank you for your partnership and support of our mission here in Denmark. Together we are changing this part of the world through evangelizing, teaching and reaching out to the poor, etc. As it says in Matthew 24:6 “ And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.“ In recent days drones have been seen over the main airports as well as military airports in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany, etc. This is yet another sign of the times which Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24. We are realizing the urgency of preaching the Word and reaching as many as we can We awhile it is still possible to do so. We thank you for your prayers for peace and effectiveness in our efforts to reach as many as possible. Thank you for supporting us in this. FOOD DISTRIBUTION - “STOP THE FOOD WASTE”: We are continuing to assist with the food distribution. The lady, who is in charge of the local project is a very sweet and precious  Kurdish lady from Syria. She does a tremendous job and is a hard worker planning numerous activities, excursions etc. for the immigrants in our area.. Please keep her in your prayers as she is facing some opposition. As mentioned earlier it’s Is mainly foreigners that come for food although we have noticed an increase in Danish people collecting as well. We usually average about 30 families on Tuesdays and have been told that more people come on Fridays. We are meeting many different nationalities and and although between the three of us we speak 4-5 languages we at times resort to “sign language”. :) BIBLE STUDIES:

This month we hosted two Bible studies a week twice in the  month. The Monday night group is run in Danish. We have  had an amazing time studying the Bible together. We also has a foot washing session with one of our students washing Philip’s feet. PS: We have included a copy of one of our classes at the end of this newsletter which we would like to invite you to benefit from. The Wednesday night group is run in English and we usually take the opportunity to share some of our Bible college classes at this time. OUTREACH: This month we distributed a lot of tracts on “Why Bad Things Happen”. (We shared the text in last month’s newsletter). We have found this to be an effective way to get the message into the hands of many. We are very concerned for the direction our so-called Christian  country is taking. For example there was little if any mention of Charlie Kirk’s assassination which caused an outcry from many countries around the world and brought hundreds of people to the streets. Meanwhile in Denmark we had to search the news to know if anything had  been mentioned. However, weekly political demonstrations for Palestine are allowed to take place in the walking street in the center of the city  and  this stand (seen in the photo above) that has the aim of informing people of Islam has been set up out outside the train station on a regular basis. Please pray for the spiritual rival to reach Denmark. And soon! Thank you! DANISH LANGUAGE STUDY: Philip’s Danish study is getting more intense and time consuming with a lot of homework. They are learning grammar, etc. I am trying to help with some of the homework and am finding myself “back in school” as well,  But I am thankful for Philip’s determination to complete the course, which is one of the requirements for him being here. Thank you for your prayers! THE VINEYARD CHURCH: This month our local pastor and his wife resigned. The church will be undergoing changes and restructuring as a result. Please pray with us that these changes can benefit the church, and that there will be more emphasis placed on evangelization and discipleship, and that the Lord will raise up new leaders filled with passion, warmth and vision for the mission. We are taking this time to seek the Lord further for where we fit in in all of this. FAMILY VISIT: This month we had a wonderful visit from our daughter and son-in-law from the States. We spent three exciting days together before they left for Italy to visit our son-in-law’s family there. CHARLIE KIRK: For those of you who may not be familiar with who Charlie Kirk was here is a brief description: Charles James Kirk (October 14, 1993 – September 10, 2025) was an American right-wing political activist, entrepreneur, and media personality. He co-founded the conservative organization Turning Point USA (TPUSA) in 2012 and was its executive director. He published a range of books and hosted The Charlie Kirk Show, a talk radio program. Kirk was one of the most prominent voices of the MAGA movement within the Republican Party, and he is considered to have become an icon of modern American conservatism.  But above all he preached the gospel and visited numerous college campuses in an effort to reach the youth. He was a debater and esp. encouraged those that did not agree with him to step forward and have a debate with hi Can the voice of truth be silenced? John 12:24 (KJV)  “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. “….As the single grain of wheat finds new life through this “death” and multiplies itself many times over, so Jesus would rise again and bring many others with Him from death unto life. As the voice of Charlie Kirk proclaiming the gospel was silenced let’s determine to be the fruit that was born thought this death, and let’s take up the baton that has been passed on to us. Let’s join the many voices that were raised in love and support of the message he preached. THE WORD: We would like to invite you to join one of our Bible studies this month, which was “Introduction to the book of Ephesians”. We trust that it will be a blessing to you during your time of devotions and that you will take the time to look up the  Scriptures included in order to get the most possible benefit from the Word! Enjoy and be strengthened in the inner man! Ephesians Paul's letter to the church in Ephesus is filled with some of the most wonderful revelations about the believer's union with Christ found anywhere in Scripture. Paul said that the truths he presented in this letter were mysteries hitherto unknown (Ephesians 3:3-6). For this reason, Paul included two prayers (Ephesians 1:15-23 and 3:14-21) in this letter, asking the Lord to bestow wisdom on readers. Romans Unlike Paul's letter to the Romans, which masterfully expounds the method of salvation, this letter reveals the benefits of salvation by grace through faith. The letter to the Galatians was harsh Galatians Paul's defence of the true gospel in this letter provides some of the clearest statements about grace found anywhere in the Bible. The letter to the Galatians was his strongest. Paul did not mince words when he condemned the reliance on self-righteousness. He skipped most of the usual courtesy of an introduction and got straight to the point with a stinging curse on anyone who dared to preach a gospel other than the one the Galatians had already received (Galatians 1:8-9). Paul was greatly disturbed that the Galatians had been deceived (Galatians 3:1) from their faith in Christ through a distortion of the gospel (Galatians 1:7). They had been told that faith in Christ alone was not enough for salvation; They had to keep the precepts of the Old Testament law, especially the rite of circumcision. He wrote to return them to a pure faith in Christ for salvation alone. Paul revealed that trusting in anything other than Christ for salvation alone cancels Christ's death (Galatians 2:21). He also said in Galatians 5:4 that the work of Christ can have no effect on those who rely on their own observance of the law to bring about justification. They have fallen from grace. Aside from the obvious purpose of this letter—to bring the Galatians back to a pure faith in Christ—Paul provided some personal information about himself and his beginnings in ministry that is not recorded elsewhere in Scripture (Galatians 1:13-2:21). Corinthians The two letters to the Corinthian Church were personal and dealt with specific problems and questions; This letter is impersonal and promotes doctrine in the same way that a book would. The impersonal nature of this letter could be explained if Paul intended for this letter to circulate among other churches. He clearly stated that this was to be done with the letter to the Colossians (Colossians 4:16) and the letter to the Thessalonians (1 Corinthians 4:16). (Thessalonians 5:27). Therefore, there is some reason why this letter is non-specific, mentioning Ephesus because it was the main city from which Paul spent three years evangelizing. This could possibly make this letter the unknown letter to the Laodiceans mentioned at Colossians 4:16. The letter to the Colossians and this letter is remarkably similar. Just a few of the many similarities are Ephesians 1:1-2 and Colossians 1:1-2; Ephesians 1:7 and Colossians 1:14; Ephesians 1:9 and Colossians 1:26; Ephesians 1:10 and Colossians 1:20 and 25; Ephesians 5:19 and Colossians 3:16; Ephesians 5:22–6:4 and Colossians 3:18–21; and Ephesians 6:5-9 and Colossians 3:22-4:1. The overall messages of Ephesians and Colossians are basically the same with some differences. This gives Paul a good reason to get the Colossians and Ephesians to share their letters with each other. The same message with different weights would help them understand the points even better. This would further strengthen the argument that this letter to the Ephesians is the same letter that Paul referred to in Coans 4:16 as the letter to Laodicea. The first three chapters of Ephesians deal with our position and calling in Christ. The last three chapters (Ephesians 4-6) are practical and speak to our lives in this world that require a behavior inspired by this new call of grace. It has been said that the Epistle to the Ephesians is in practice "the gospel walked out in shoe leather", for it speaks of the relationship between husband and wife, masters and servants, parents and children, etc. On the doctrinal side (Ephesians 1-3) we find that all has come to pass and is complete in Him. A true understanding of Christianity does not begin with doing but begins with what has been done. We are invited to sit down and enjoy all that God has done for us in Christ. We are to rest in Him. It is only from this revelation that true works of faith spring; otherwise, practical Christianity can turn to the works of the law – a danger that Paul himself warned us about (Ephesians 2:15 and Galatians 3:3). PRAYER REQUESTS: REVIVAL AND AWAKENING: We would like to ask you to join us in praying for the Lord to bring revival to Denmark, but not only, but also to all of Europe and the world. And for us to continue to do our part towards this end! (Mark 16:15) LEADERSHIP: For the Lord to raise up godly leadership and influencers in the European parliament and all the European countries.
