• Dries and Valerie have worked here for 28 years following in the footsteps of Walter Cox who came as a businessman before Communism ended. Walter used Derek’s book, Blessing or Curse, to bring release to people under various curses and lead them to salvation. He then translated the Self-Study Bible Course into Malagasy and distributed copies widely. With that foundation, Dries has made numerous trips with his team to coastal villages giving people Derek’s books and discipling them. He leaves leaders behind to establish churches and carry on ministry. Pray for this long-time outreach to continue and for the Lord’s strength and favor upon Dries and his team.
