It is with heavy hearts that we have to announce that one of our founding members, Annatt Fraenkel, passed away on 17 July 2024. Our most sincere condolences to his wife, Olga and his sons Coenie and André. Annatt has been involved with KCOT since its founding in 2010 and has made an invaluable contribution, both as trustee and as treasurer. His calm efficiency, friendliness, steadfast faith and wisdom will be sorely missed. We honour his legacy. We pray that Olga will get the strength to carry on each day through the power of the Holy Spirit.Read More →

You yearned for the nourishing, life-giving milk, the Word of God. Like a little child who needs that milk to grow, you also again tasted that the Lord isRead More →
