We are the Potgieter Family. We (Gerhard and Rebekah) have four children: Tabitha (Jan 2010), Mary-Beth (Nov 2011), Immanuel (Nov 2013) and one on the way (due Jan 2017). We are from Taumarunui, New Zealand. We are currently on an extended furlough in New Zealand. We were living in Madagascar as missionaries with Iris Global in Antananarivo, Madagascar from March 2014 to June 2015, when we had to unexpectedly come home for a medical emergency. We plan to return to Madagascar to serve together as missionaries with Iris Madagascar. Iris Madagascar is still a fairly new centre so we have had opportunities to serve in many different capacities to help pioneer and establish that work.
Even before we were married, Gerhard and Rebekah both had a clear call to mission work. We met in Taumarunui in 2006, when we both served as leaders in our Church Youth Programme. In 2008 we married and in 2009 we graduated from the Iris Harvest School of missions in Pemba, Mozambique. We joined Iris full time in 2014.
