p 9 Maart 2014 was dit 'n wonderlike en feestelike dag
vir die Gemeente van die Pinkster Protestante Kerk,
OPotchefstroom-Sentraal.
Die Herderspaar, Pastoor Hennie en Mevrou Pop du Preez,
was op hierdie dag veertig jaar in die bediening in hierdie
gemeente.
Daar was talle wonderlike bekerings en genesings gedurende
hierdie jare. Bonatuurlike wonderwerke het plaasgevind, en
die Here het onder andere ook 'n dooie uit die dood opgewek!
Oom Hennie bied steeds opbouende Geestelike Groei-
kursusse aan waardeur jong Christene versterk word.
Die herderspaar geniet goeie gesondheid en bedien steeds
voltyds. Past. Hennie en Pop du Preez
Alle lof en eer aan die Allerhoogste God! Tel: 018 294 5587
