Grace Waves Episode 471: Making Room in Namibia – Faith, Patience, and Provision

In this very special episode of Grace Waves, our host, Pastor Gerold Joubert, is joined in the studio by his wife, Grietjie Joubert, making her first-ever appearance as a co-host! Together, they sit down with Pastor O'Brien and Thloki Britz to discuss their incredible three-year missionary journey in Namibia.

Listen as Pastor O'Brien and Thloki share the beautiful and sometimes challenging realities of planting a church and living on the mission field. They open up about the hurdles of securing permits and finding affordable accommodation in Windhoek, and how God consistently showed up to provide for their needs—whether through a miraculously cleared tax debt or a perfectly timed plate of food from a neighbor.

Episode Highlights:

• Hearing the Call: How a gradual persuasion and specific scriptures (like Ephesians 3:17 and Isaiah 54:2) confirmed their calling to minister in Namibia.
• Divine Appointments: Incredible testimonies of God’s perfect timing, including a surprise encounter in Botswana and a life-changing connection made simply by stopping for ice cream.
• The Vision for the Future: Spying out the land in the town of Rehoboth, the deep hunger for the Word of God among the conservative Namibian culture, and the overarching vision to establish a four-year, national Bible school.
• Joining the Work: Practical advice for aspiring missionaries from those who have walked the walk.
• How to Help: Discover how believers can support the ministry through prayer and finances, or even by taking a trip to visit the team and enjoy some authentic Namibian Kapana!

Tune in for a deeply encouraging reminder that whether you are called to go out into the world or called to stay, we are all partakers in the exact same work of God.

Tired of hope that crumbles when promises are broken by fallible people or shifting circumstances? What if there's a source of hope that NEVER fails? In "Unshakeable Hope: It's Written in His Promises" (Hope Series: Part 2), Pastor Gerold illuminates why God's promises provide a rock-solid foundation for your life.

Unlike human promises, limited by our flawed nature and ability (Romans 3:23), God is both completely FAITHFUL to His Word (Hebrews 10:23, 2 Corinthians 1:20, Numbers 23:19) and all-POWERFUL to bring His declarations to pass (Philippians 1:6). Pastor Gerold explores diverse promises for His presence (Hebrews 13:5), provision (Philippians 4:19), strength (Isaiah 40:31), forgiveness (1 John 1:9), and your future. Learn practical steps to find, remember, and meditate on these divine assurances to experience God's unshakeable hope, even when life feels uncertain.
