THE APOSTOLIC FAITH MISSION OF SA DIE APOSTOLIESE GELOOFSENDING VAN SA
Newsflash| 7 October 2016 Dear Colleagues, Once again allow me to express my appreciation to you and all those who attended the 2016 General Business Meeting, for the confidence you bestowed on me to lead this church as its President, after Dr. Isak Burger who laid down the reigns with dignity and honour. My prayer is that the Lord will continue to shine His face upon Him and His family. Let me also congratulate my fellow National Office Bearers on their election and wish them well: Dr. Japie La Poorta (Deputy President), Dr. Henri Weideman (General Secretary) and Past. Barend Petersen (Treasurer). During the past two weeks we have received a large number of enquiries regarding resources that were specifically developed for the GBM. In this newsflash we would like to share these resources with you. Your response will be greatly appreciated. MG MAHLOBO 1.

The National Office would like to place a bulk order with the supplier, trusting that a larger order will result in a lower cost per tablecloth. If you are interested in placing an order, kindly send an e-mail notice to sales@afm-ags.org with your contact details and the number of tablecloths you want to order. This will help the National Office to confirm the required quantity.

The intention is to ensure that every AFM assembly have this resource. Kindly enquire with your committee regarding this matter. The Game Plan DVD explains the AFM’s Missional Church Strategy in 4 different languages: Afrikaans, English, isiZulu and Sesotho. The DVD contains: • Articles • Video Clips • Photos • Practical Toolkit for Member Communication • Video Clip by Dr. Isak Burger addressing concerns about the Game Plan We trust this will help pastors to further develop their understanding of the Game Plan and gain even more confidence in training and communicating with others. 3.
