  HI Judy, I presume by “download” you mean a pdf file of the lesson. We don’t offer that service but I know some other sites do. I will see if I can find one for you. If you know enought techie stuff it is easy to say our html lessons as pdf files and you can print those.

  Hi Judy, If you right-click on any lesson in most browsers, you can choose to “Print” the lesson – just the main lesson, or including comments. In a Windows system, you can usually choose to “Print to PDF,” providing you have a PDF printer installed.

  Probably your best chance is to try church resources in South africa. There are no Afrikaans translators among our volunteers.
  Google Translate:
  Waarskynlik is jou beste kans om kerkbronne in Suid-Afrika te probeer. Daar is geen Afrikaanse vertalers onder ons vrywilligers nie.

Knowing God is loving God, obeying God, and keeping His commandments. Knowing God is a non stop desire to please him at all times, and a desire to tell others about God. Knowing God, is trusting God with all our hearts (Prov 3;5) and our dependence fully on Him.
