We really value & appreciate your partnership with us in this ministry.
So we would love to share some highlights with you from this year.
We launched our free streaming platform www.fti-academy.org last year and sent out the links for the various courses.
It has been so exciting and rewarding.
Over 500 hundred people have registered either to
go through courses on their own or in groups from many different places around the world.
Every day there are new registrations. Lives are being changed that we could never have reached.
Courses were run from the villages on the outskirts on Tzaneen, the farm lands in KwaZulu
Natal, in shelters for the homeless, churches in cities across South Africa, to New Zealand and now South Korea
Thank you to the faithful facilitators who continue to run courses here at our home church
Harvest in PE but also around the world.
Sedgefield Christian Church recently used Positioned for Blessing at their ladies camp
with great success.
(Note from Tammy sent during the course)
“We are having the most wonderful time. The ladies are responding so
beautifully to Positioned for Blessing. Thank you for the blessing of making it
available to us so generously”.
– Tammy Pienaar
A similar connection has been made in Malawi. Pastor Montford leads 7 churches there.
These pastors do not have reliable internet connection, especially in the rural areas
and so we have sent them a laptop preloaded with all the videos so that they can start training other leaders.
In fact, as I write this, we have sent a box with about 50 Manuals to help them get
started.
The year started with over 200 men enrolled to start using the book as a mentoring tool
in groups around South Africa.
Brett and I also joined Jacob’s Well church in Schauderville for their Men of Honor
conference held on a Saturday.
Over 100 men attended and we heard powerful testimonies
from some of the men who had completed the course and we then presented them with certificates.
There was a blind man at this conference, he had completed the 8 week course in
Schauderville. He asked me if it was possible to get an audiobook for Men of Honor.
He is on the association for the blind and he knew of many men who would really benefit
from using the audiobook option.
So we got to work and have now got the audiobook on our website and also available on Amazon.
Trusting for much good fruit from this.
This audio book is free to download until the 15th November 2025.
We also had the joy and privilege to minister at Carmel Christian Church in Bristol England with Sean & Michelle Leask. We ran a marriage seminar on the Saturday and then shared in the Sunday service.
Afterwards, they treated us to tea and scones at a restaurant called The Bridge Tea Room which is about about 300 years old, but the presentation and food was amazing. It was also so special because our UK family, Greg, Penny, Matt, Ben & Nathan joined us on the Sunday.
The theme for this years ladies conference
in Schauderville was
Pastor Suraya, Lindah and Janine shared
inspiring messages encouraging the ladies
to recognize the “faces” of Gods love for
them and to be that face of love to others.
One of the highlights was when Angelee (our granddaughter) shared a poem she had written.
At the end of April we were sponsored to join pastors Chris & Phindi Mathebula and Jay & Slubi Jadezweni on the most amazing trip to Turkey.
We spent 4 days in Istanbul and then 4 days in Kusadasi which is near Ephesus. We found it so moving to walk in the streets where Paul, John & Timothy walked and ministered.
They were in a pagan worshipping city and there were idols all around that
people had to pay homage to. They were imprisoned, despised and
rejected, yet they kept sharing the gospel.
John was sent to Patmos from there were he wrote the book of Revelations. He returned
from Patmos and eventually passed away in Ephesus. We were able to visit the place
where he is buried and thank God for the life of this amazing man.
Something that we never knew was that Mary, the mother of Jesus travelled there with John
and spent the last 15 years of her life there. We were able to see the house she lived in.
It was one of the most amazing & inspiring time of our lives as we shared this trip together
and experienced the lives of these biblical hero’s in real life
“New Positioned for Blessing course; Dear Drummond and Lindah, thank you for sharing such a transformative and anointed course!
Positioned for Blessing is so Spirit- filled and carries such a weight of wisdom and Kingdom revelation! It is such a redemptive and equipping course, aligning oneself to a posture of living from the Overflow – I was deeply blessed and will come back to this wealth of wisdom again and again. Blessings! ”

“Dear Drummond and Lindah. Thank you for sharing your love of God with us. Compiling a deep teaching of the importance of Gods love and mercy for us, and how we must choose to forgive, in order for our Father to forgive us. Choosing the light over the dark kingdom so that we may walk in God’s grace freely given to us.
Choosing to forgive sets us free, and those we hold in captivity thru unforgiveness. This is vital for us to be in right standing with God. It has been such a blessing to learn from you. Thank you for sharing with all of us. God bless you both. ”
“Dear Drummond and Lindah, Just want to thank you for the Positioned for Blessing course we did over this weekend with SCC church ladies retreat. What a mind blowing experience I had.
It certainly got me thinking and it touched my heart to know who I am in Christ Jesus and how much he loves me. I picked up many gold nuggets that I will certainly share with others. I pray Jesus will continue blessing you both in all you do and teach others. What a blessing you both are. Thank you again. ”
“Dear Drummond and Lindah, I’m so grateful for the way you’ve led us with such wisdom and tenderness throughout this course.
Each session has brought fresh revelation of God’s truth and greater awareness of the spiritual realities that shape our lives. The way you bring scripture to life with clarity and depth has truly blessed me. This journey has been a beautiful gift.📖✨🙏🏻 ”
“Together Forever testimony Hello Drummond, hope all is well…I just thought to share with you…as we did the “Together Forever” course for before getting married. We had our wedding on 24 September.
Also to say thank you for having this course available online, it really helps, since both of us work long hours. It enabled us to do the course together when we had time in the evenings. Regards, Santa & Alistair Berriman”
That is exactly our vision for the online academy. To provide life changing courses that can be freely streamed by individuals or small groups anywhere in the world. Each course also provides a free full colour PDF manual that can be downloaded.
NB: Where streaming is a problem, we provide churches with downloadable versions of the videos
In conclusion
We want to once again take this opportunity to express our appreciation to all that have been on this journey with us over the years. Our hearts are to see people’s lives, marriages and families touched and empowered by the Word of God so that they can experience the fullness of the richness of The Kingdom of God and walk in Gods abundant life, freedom & Joy.
Shoulder operation
I am writing this letter early this year as on the 13th November I am having a reverse
shoulder replacement operation and will be recovering until Christmas.
We pray you have a wonderful Christmas with some rest and family time.
May you be refreshed, encouraged and inspired for the new year.
With love & blessings,
Drummond & Lindah
