Hugh and Dorothy first served with CMS Australia in Tanzania from 1974 to 1991. They were on the staff of St Philip's Theological College, Kongwa, where they had a share in training over 400 men & women for Christian leadership.

They returned in 1996 and again in 2001 to continue their work.

In 2003 they were reassigned to Winhoek Namibia to the Namibia Evangelical Theological School (NETS).

Praise God with us:
 
  • For the arrival of the Greeff family from CMS Australia to join the TEE team at NETS;
  • For new residential students and a record number in the degree year
  • For great rains in Namibia this year .
  
   
Please Pray:  
  • For strength to deal with the various tasks we have at NETS, despite our advancing age!
  • For the Greeffs' one year work permit to be issued soon and for the whole family as they settle into the work here in Namibia
  • For Namibia to be committed to the ending of corruption , and to good governance.
