<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Lord began by reminding us that though we can plumb the greatest
depths or scale the tallest heights His love is infinite and we enjoyed a glorious
revelation of His Greatness, which love and greatness demands a response. His
willingness to impart His Living Word into our hearts in a powerful way became
so obvious. We were exhorted to examine our hearts condition, for it is only
with the right heart that we can receive the Word with gladness. The ministry
was rich and full and so much more could be said and many reports written.</span></div>

left without having had a personal and intimate appointment with the Lord where
the deep issues of the heart were exposed and brought to light. I think it fair

working, bringing powerful change in our lives.</span></div>

to present Five Star food! We also thank Peter and Mary
Hawes for being so willing to come all this way to minister to us, it was a

<br />
At Southfield, we have been challenged to consider 'Christ as Life', and how He is living His Life through us.<br />
<br />
With that in mind, I am writing a quote from G.H. Knight that I read this morning.....<br />
<br />
"What joy it gives, and strength<br />
too, to begin each day by feeling, 'On this day once again I am to live simply as a servant of Jesus Christ: His will and not my own will is to sway me every hour'<br />
...'A servant of Jesus Christ!'...then I dare not be the servant of sin; I must be holy as my Master is holy.<br />
...'A servant of Jesus Christ!'...then I will not be the servant of men: the maxims (the governing principles) of this will not rule me; I will not take my cue from the world; I am under orders only to my Master in heaven.<br />
...A servant of Jesus Christ!'...then I must be the servant of men, to help them, to comfort them, and to stoop to the lowest of them in their behalf as my Master did.<br />
...A servant of Jesus Christ!'...then, if His servant anywhere, I must be His servant everywhere; in all society with men I must never forget my servanthood to Him: I must show myself His servant openly as well as confess it secretly.<br />
...A servant of Jesus Christ!'...then, if I want to know Him, to walk as He walked, to plant my feet in His footprints. As the eye of servants look unto the hand of their masters, to see how their work should be done, and copy what they see, so my eyes "must wait upon The Lord." If His service is sometimes difficult, I must not complain: He may use me as He wills, and at the end of all I will be more than satisfied if I only hear Him say, 'Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of The Lord' "<br />
<br />
May the Lord Jesus Christ enable us to be all of the above, is my prayer in Jesus name.

Oh man! What an experience. It was totally not what I expected. I was under the impression I was just going along to see what the whole Malawi mission was about and act as support. Boy was I surprised at what the Lord had in store for me.<br />
<br />
I flew from Cape Town on 2 April to meet up with the mission team on the 3rd in Johannesburg. I did not really know any of the brethren except for Rupert and Carl from Southfield assembly in Cape Town. Being a very quiet and reserved person I was a bit nervous of meeting the other brethren. When I got to the pick-up point we introduced ourselves and we were on our way to a very long journey to Mozambique.<br />
<br />
We were told to brace ourselves for going through the different borders on this journey since it can take long and we could pick up some hassles. After going through the border of Zimbabwe, which went very smoothly I might add, we stayed over at Bubi village for the night where we already started to connect as a group. The next morning we were off to the border of Mozambique. After going through the Mozambican border, we realized that the Lord was really blessing us and keeping his hand over us for I was told this was one of the easiest border crossings they have had in the last couple of years.<br />
<br />
When we got to Mozambique we stayed over at this lovely family's house. Johan, Anne and their two boys were very hospitable. They made us feel very comfortable and at home. This would be our base in Mozambique for the next 4 days. After having an awesome meal that evening we went to sleep.<br />
<br />
After breakfast the next morning we were split into teams. We then had a prayer meeting asking the Lord to bless and direct us and to give us the wisdom and for Him to talk through us. Each team would be going into the different villages. Myself, Dean Botha(from the Bluff assembly) and Allan Hemphill(our team leader) were combined into one team. All the other guys were split into their respective teams. At this point I was asked to try and give my input and preach at the different locations, even if it is just 5 min. As a group we took off to go meet our interpreters since the people we needed to go and preach to did not understand a word of English. This I thought was going to be a task and a half. How do you really get a message across to someone with an interpreter??? We got to meet our interpreter named Bonde. What a pleasure of a man. He was very friendly and could speak English quite comfortably. Off we went to our first village.<br />
<br />
After driving for a while we reached our destination. I was overwhelmed by the way they welcomed us with singing and dancing. They were really happy to see us. We greeted everybody and went into their little church. Most of the churches are built out of clay and mud and have grass roofs. For seating they all sit on a log or even just on the ground. They gave us their only comfortable plastic garden chairs to sit on. To start with they really praise and worship for quite a bit. They can easily worship and sing for about an half hour to forty five minutes. Then we formally introduced ourselves and started preaching.<br />
<br />
Allan has done this Malawi trip a few times before so we thought best that he should kick off with the first session. At this time I became very very worried since all the way to this church I was trying to plan something to say but could not find anything. Here I was sitting with absolutely nothing to say. I even asked my other team mate, Dean, if he had something to say but he was in the same boat as me. As Allan started sharing his message the Lord laid a message on my heart. How happy I was but I was still very nervous since I have never preached or shared anything to anyone. Even at home at our assembly I do not share. I am always the quiet one who listens. After Allan finished I got up and shared what the Lord laid on my heart. It was only between 5 and 10 min but that was my very first ministry. All I shared about was the Lord Jesus dying for us on the cross and how much he really loves us and how he took our sins to the grave. They really responded well. After me was Dean. What was so amazing to me is that everything that we said tied in with each others ministries. There were also a handful of people that gave their lives to the Lord.<br />
<br />
During the following 3 days we covered another 3 villages. What I really enjoyed about all the villages is that the people were very humble and grateful<br />
for the message from the Lord. At one of the villages we even had 2 men wanting to be filled with the Holy Ghost. We prayed for them and will continue to do<br />
so since at that very moment they weren't filled.<br />
<br />
After our 4 days in Mozambique, we were off to cross over into Malawi and face another border crossing. By this time we were sure we were going to have<br />
hassles at the border but yet again, the Lord blessed us since it went very smoothly. That evening we reached our destination, the Zambezi mission house. This was our base for the next 4 days. Getting to know the Malawians, I realized they were just as humble as in Mozambique. By this time Dean and I were far more confident in ministering. We found this crowd to be just as responsive to the Word of God for here too we had people responding to the gospel. How refreshing that was. Our last stop of the Malawi leg had around 400 members in the church. There were people peeling out the doors listening to the ministries as the hall we had was too small to accommodate everyone.<br />
<br />
All locations we went to in both Mozambique and Malawi, none of them had chairs to sit on. The people sat on either the floor or thin log tree stumps.<br />
This got me thinking of how easy we have it here. They were only too happy to sit there for two to three hour sessions at a time without complaining.<br />
<br />
What really hit home for me after I shared my messages from the Lord is how happy these people were to receive this simple message. This is when I realized that these people don't really know much about the Lord. They knew the basic bible stories but not the deeper meaning of any of what the Bible is teaching us. All these people were so thankful to just and hear the basic gospel and principles explained to them. I would say that they really have child-like minds. How refreshing that was to me since it made me realize that we sometimes get so wrapped up in too much detail that we forget what the most important thing is. Just love the Lord God with all your heart, mind and soul and everything else will start falling into place. You can go to church everyday and read your bible for hours every day but if you haven't given your heart to Jesus and seriously fall in love with him the Bible will be like a good bedtime story.<br />
<br />
I really look forward to going again and would seriously urge any brethren from the Assemblies to go on this trip. It will not only benefit the people you are ministering to but will quicken your spirit personally.<br />
<br />
Lord Bless<br />

translator) would only be joining us late Friday evening, as there were no

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">A band of brothers (in SA)
meets on Friday mornings at 06h00 to pray.
Francois suggested that we also get up at 06h00 to be with them in
spirit. And so started the first of many prayer and worship sessions. We prayed
that the Spirit might lead us and we prayed for miracles. It is difficult to
explain in words what we experienced during these prayer and worship sessions,
but take my word for it… it was unbelievably blessed and amazing and awesome
and powerful.</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">While preparing breakfast,
Rupert contacted an old friend, Johan Cilliers, who also stayed in
Chimoio. Rupert was informed that Johan
and his 2 boys, Matthew and Daniel were very ill, with high fever, and the
doctors did not know what caused the sickness.
Johan was very concerned as he was in Chimoio and his wife and kids in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Natal</st1:place></st1:city>. Rupert told him
that we would pray for them. So, at
09h30 we prayed. We finished at 09h50 and within 5 minutes we received a
message that the fever of the kids were broken and that they were sitting up
and eating. (something that they were unable to do for the 3 days before)
Praise the LORD, o</span><span style="color: #00000a; font-size: 12pt;">h

<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">After a lovely bowl of
Oats, courtesy of Francois’ cooking skills, and inspired by what we experienced
through prayer, we headed into town to get much needed supplies. Unfortunately
this experience was disappointing, as poverty and a struggle to survive were
written all over the people’s faces. </span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Upon our return we decided
to take an afternoon nap. The previous days’ travel, and the humidity taking
its toll. We woke up about 2 hours later
and spen</span><span style="color: #00000a; font-size: 12pt;">d
time together in the presence of the LORD, reading and discussing HIS word and
praying and worshiping HIM!</span>

off to bed. </span>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">After breakfast we thanked
the LORD for Elias’ safe arrival and a good night’s rest. We prayed for the day’s activities and for
Johan and his family. The presence of the HOLY SPIRIT was extremely intense.</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">The plan was to be at the
fellowship at 09h30. Our SUV was to be
delivered at 08h00. Please note…that was
the plan. At about 09h00 we gave <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Kabul</st1:place></st1:city> (Taxi man) a call
to enquire about our car. Apparently it
was in an accident the previous night, but <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Kabul</st1:place></st1:city> was on his way with another car. If I recall correctly we received the car at
10h00, with almost no fuel in the tank and a funny smell coming from the
engine. After refueling and opening the bonnet to look at the engine and
fiddling with a few tubes and cables and some more looking and imitating
mechanics, we decided that the car was ready to go, so off we went. We arrived
at our designated parking at about 10h45, greeted by Sebastian. The heat and
humidity hit you like a brick wall when getting out of the air-conditioned car.
We all took a gulp of our 500ml water, while being informed that we will be
walking the rest of the way to the church.

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">25 minutes later we arrived
to warm welcomes, big smiles and singing.
The church was a brick/ mud building with a grass roof, 2 doors and a
window. There was about a 5cm gap between
the top of the walls and the roof. This
was ingenious, as all the warm air rose, and escaped out through the gap, while
colder (only very slightly) air came in through the doors and windows. Air conditioning – <st1:place w:st="on">Africa</st1:place>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">We introduced ourselves and
then Rupert communicated the first 2 principles of the doctrine of Christ, i</span><span style="color: #00000a; font-size: 12pt;">.e. repentance of
dead works and faith towards God. The
fellowship struggled with the concept of dead works. “Dead works” was repeated
so often that I do not think that I will ever forget the Portugese for “dead
works”, “aubresh mortesh”. (don’t quote
me on the spelling) I then also had an opportunity to share a testimony with
the fellowship. My first ‘action’ of our
‘mission’. We took a break and Francois
took over from Rupert. Rupert concluded
and responsibility was allocated to a few brothers who really understood the 2
principles. It was very enlightening to
see the eagerness with which they accepted the responsibility. They were informed to communicate these 2
principles to friends and family. </span>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">We left at about 16h30,
eager for a cold shower and dinner. After dinner we praised the LORD for the
day and the work that HE has done through us.
We prayed for our families back home and the days ahead. The LORD was exalted through song and
prayer. Rupert read from 1 Sam 17 (David
and Goliath) and the day was ended on a high! I went to bed excited, and with
the anticipation that this was only the beginning.</span>

The reason for the early departure was two fold, one – local elections

trading post and first Catholic Church in <st1:place w:st="on">Africa</st1:place>. Rupert took us to the sight were thousands of

ourselves, Rupert started with the teaching.
It was about the HOLY GHOST and how you know that you have received it.
Various answers were given, but not the one Rupert was looking for. I felt the Spirit moving in me and felt that
I should say something. While Rupert was
waiting on his preferred answer, I asked if I could have an opportunity to
talk. So there I was in front of the
fellowship, with nothing prepared. And
so, I started at the beginning. Why did
GOD allow Jesus to come to earth to die?
John 3:16. And from there I was
guided by the HOLY GHOST to end with Luke 11: 11-13, where Jesus said that all
you have to do to receive the HOLY GHOST is to ask our FATHER in heaven. That was really, really AWESOME! I sat down and Rupert continued.</span>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Rupert asked the fellowship
if there was anyone who wanted to receive the HOLY GHOST. Everyone got up and went to the front of the
church. Rupert explained that we will be
praying and asking GOD to send the HOLY SPIRIT.
And they will know that they have received it, by praying in
tongues. (somewhat of a challenge to
know if someone is praying in tongues if you do not understand Portuguese or
Makua) Elias assisted in this task. After a while, the prayer subsided and we
asked how many received that SPIRIT.
About 2 or 3 raised their hands.
We were obviously very excited, but not satisfied and could see that the
ones who did not receive, was disappointed.
So, we prayed again. And continued, and motivated and assisted and
encouraged. After a while I could not
stand as my legs and arms went weak. (the last time I experienced this
sensation was when I received the HOLY SPIRIT) The SPIRIT was moving and when
finishing about 20 people were filled with the HOLY SPIRIT! Unbelievable?
Believe it!</span>

there will be no unexpected or unpleasant surprises and we will be home by the
end of the day. Whatever…. First plane
from Nampula to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Maputo</st1:city></st1:place>
– almost 2 hours late. Fortunately our
plane leaving from <st1:city w:st="on">Maputo</st1:city> to <st1:city w:st="on">Johannesburg</st1:city>
was scheduled to take off only at 17h30 to land in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Johannesburg</st1:place></st1:city> at 18h30. So we had some time to play with. We arrived with some time to spare in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Maputo</st1:place></st1:city>.</span>

minutes late, but we were informed that the flight would only take 45 minutes
in stead off an hour as indicated. We
would therefore still have time to catch our connecting flight to <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Cape Town</st1:place></st1:city>. To our surprise (do not know why we were
surprised) the flight did take 1 hour. To add insult to injury, we landed on
the runway that was furthest from the airport building. We had to taxi over 3 runways, and then still
had to board a bus to go to international arrivals. Entering the airport
building, it was 7:10pm. We still had to
go through passport control, collect our luggage, go through customs, check in
on the next flight and board. This had
to be done by 19h20! </span>

were our bags together, even though we always checked in at the same time. GOD listened and answered our prayers on the
plane. Francois ‘charmed’ the lady
behind the counter and by GOD’s grace we boarded the plane at 19h40 and left
for <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Cape Town</st1:place></st1:city>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just a short personal testimony. Going on outreach to <st1:place w:st="on">Africa</st1:place> (or anywhere) has proven to be life changing for
me. We go on outreach, while God is doing major "inreach" into our
hearts. To illustrate - we were at O.R.Thambo waiting for our outbound flight
when a shop attendant in the Ferrari shop asked Andre where we are going. He
replied "we are going to do mission work in <st1:country-region w:st="on">Mozambique</st1:country-region>". The man asked,
"so are you a man of God?" Andre hesitated for a second and then answered,
" uuuh, yes..., I certainly want to be..." </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That summed up the kind of hearts we had on our way there,
but what grace the Lord Jesus had, and what change occurred as we spend time
together with Rupert and Elias in the presence of the Lord, in much prayer
together and in reading, and exhortation and ministry. Our hearts were melted
together, our love for Jesus renewed, our vision and purpose shaped by His
will. The dross that we carried with us was removed and we just experienced a
"new touch of fire on our souls". </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
If I can testify on behalf of André and say that in this
year he has gone from being a 'good nominal christian", to being truly
born again, baptised, filled with the Holy Spirit, and eagerly desiring the
sincere milk of God's word. Coming on outreach with us has catapulted this man
into ministry and a desire to serve the Lord. We praise the Lord for His great
grace on us all and the privilege to serve Him. Other brethren should plan and
look to the Lord for an oppertunity to go with on these outreaches, and
experience the amazing "inreach" that God performs.</div>

A wonderful time of fellowship and unity was a particular
highlight of the weekend, not to mention the powerful testimony of the Lord
Jesus among us. He spoke directly and clearly by the Holy Ghost bringing a
beautiful revelation of the Body of Christ. I will not attempt to outline the
ministry because it would be impossible to do it any justice but just wish to
recognize how every word, every song, every testimony and every spiritual gift
fused together to produce a message that has had a transforming power on all
who heard it.<br />

We are so grateful to the Lord for the richness of His
goodness toward us, not only on this weekend but over the whole year. With
great anticipation we look forward to the work ahead of us because we know He
is in it, has blessed it and He will add the increase. The Lord Jesus is
building His Church and we rejoice in the part we have in that building.</div>

travelling a far way for two days with Elias and I was ministering in local
churches. I had the nice new bucky and Rupert needed it as Elias needed a
comfortable ride as his back was giving him problems. Not really a difficult
choice in Christ but difficult in our hearts. The Lord works in mysterious ways
as in the next church I ministered in Luke 18 and the rich young ruler who
would not sell his goods (or lend someone his new bucky?) and follow the Lord!</span></div>

the way back to Blantyre we were flagged down by a group of people who said
that a car had just knocked down two of their party and then drove off and
would we help catch them! One of the party jumped in and we set off in hot
pursuit. After a really fast pursuit we eventually saw the car which turned off
into a tea plantation. We continued in hot pursuit and after 3 kms we overtook
the car! It was driven by a woman with two kids in the car! We left the young

Not one of us chose to be born into this world. But we are here!! And we are here to stay! Each of our lives had a beginning – that began when we were conceived. We all have different mothers and fathers.<br />
<br />
<br />
However, God’s word tells us that we ALL have the same MAKER – God. God chose which seed our mothers would conceive. That seed was you and me. We read it in God’s Word - In Psalm 139 (See below) <br />
<br />
<br />
All of us have our life story to tell. Not one of us has had the same journey. Each journey is unique and different. Our stories are filled with the challenges we have faced. Decisions we have had to make. Our stories tell of the times we were living on cloud 9 and other times there is no cloud to be seen!!! Our stories never end.<br />
<br />
So what is this life all about?<br />
<br />
On a journey it is always good to stop. So on this journey called life it is good to stop and ask what is this life all about?<br />
<br />
Because God is our Maker He must have the answer. There must be a bigger plan. He is God.<br />
During my journey I heard about a Gift God wanted to give me, and not only me but anyone who would receive the gift.<br />
<br />
The gift is not something we would receive in our hands. The gift is a person - Jesus, God’s Son.<br />
<br />
Jesus has his own life story to tell. We can read all about His life in the bible. God sent Jesus to this earth as a baby. He too was conceived and at the age of 33, was willing to be sacrificed on the cross, so that His blood could wash us clean.<br />
<br />
It would give us a new beginning with God, as part of our lives. So great is the gift, that He says He will live within us. God is Holy and can only live within a person who has been washed clean, by the blood of Jesus.<br />
<br />
A new journey began for me when I believed in Jesus Christ and His sacrifice and invited Him to live in me. He washed me clean. My Maker now became My Lord and My Saviour. With Jesus in me, I now have Him, as the captain of my life. He Guides me, encourages me, loves me and so much more. Yes, life is still filled with the storms and sunshine’s of this life. But Jesus is always there.<br />
<br />
The Christian life is not boring. God is not boring. We look at what He has created. Just look at you and me. Definitely not boring. Many miracles happen to those who have Jesus in their lives.<br />
<br />
One storm I have just gone through is cancer. Hearing 3 words ‘You have cancer’ took me straight into a storm. With Jesus living in me I knew He will be in control. While having chemo many of the patients would encourage each other with positive thinking. We just need to be positive they would say to each other.<br />
My Trust is in the Lord my God.<br />
<br />
As our journey in life has a beginning it must have an end. This gift from God includes living in heaven with Him for eternity. What a gift we have been offered. Not by a man – But by The Living God - Jesus is His name.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br />
<br />
<i><b>Extracts from the verses in Psalm 139</b></i><br />
<br />
"Thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb." (God chose which seed would be conceived – u and me)<br />
<br />
"I will praise thee for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works."<br />
<br />
"My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret." (our Mom’s only knew 6 weeks later that we were there)<br />
<br />
"In thy book all my members were written."<br />
<br />
"How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them."<br />
<br />
"If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake I am still with thee."<br />
<br />
God Bless.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oh, what an AWESOME God we serve......</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have always had this saying 'if a man wants to "toer met my" ...meaning...to get me to fall in love with him.....he just needs to be kind to me'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As a 'strong personality' woman....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have always known that it is the loving kindness of the Lord that led me to repentance.....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">BUT, this morning I had this AHA moment with the lover of my soul....my Jesus, .....that it is His Gentleness with me .....that has me in the palm of His hand, causing me to WANT TO do His bidding!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oh what a powerful gift He has given me....to be like Jesus....in His Gentleness working through me, to others.....I can 'cause' others to do His bidding!!!!......what a MIGHTY God we serve!!!!..... and I feel quite 'mushy' toward Him in my adoration of Him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The prayer of my heart is .....May we KNOW His Gentleness in our lives....and have a longing for 'His empowering' us to KNOW it in a greater measure....SO THAT he 'empowers us' to be gentle with ALL those we are encountering....including ourselves..... </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I awoke this morning with the song...'Into Thy presence I
come....not by the works I have done...but by Thy grace, and Thy grace
alone....into Thy presence I come'</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
<br /><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just wept as I sat at the feet of my Jesus...sooooo grateful that He 'caught'
me through His love 35 years ago....and has since then, on a daily basis, held
me by His love!!!!<br />
<br /><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think that I am more aware of His grace at present, because Rupert is doing a
series with us at Southfield, on 'How to share the Good News of Jesus with the
lost'....and as I have been pondering on these truths, I KNOW that I KNOW, that
it was HIS love, that I was attracted to, after spending a month with a group
of people that NEVER ONCE told me how 'bad' I was....but how amazing Jesus
is!!!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
<br />
Oh, how easy 'His burden is' for me....how can I but help, to tell of His
incredible love....and how can I but help, to hold up in prayer, those that are
in such pain and misery, because they don't know Him!!!<br />
<br />
The prayer of my heart is that JESUS will ENABLE you ....yes, even this
needs His enabling :-) ....to burst with His love for those that do not
experience Him as you do. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We
were surprised and honoured at the reception that was accorded to Adrie. They
were really pleased to see the wife of one of the believers. It was to them as
if we were proud of the fellowship there (which we are) and we wanted to bring
our wives with us to show the strength and the commitment of our new brothers
in Christ. Adrie has put her own impression of the visit in a separate article
in the blog. (access the article via this <a href="http://truelightnews.blogspot.com/2013/07/a-missionary-trip-to-malawi-perceived.html">Link</a>)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We
returned to the game park at 6 having ministered all day to a church that was
packed with eager believers. The hunger
for knowledge the ease with which they received and the wonder on the faces as
they get the revelation is a true joy to behold and makes the whole trip
worthwhile. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We
ministered at CHILOMBO for two full days to a full church on both days on how
repentance of sin will not bring us to salvation. Only a turning away from the

being born again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I
wrote this when our ministry was in the planning stage as we arrived at
Chilimba. The Holy Spirit had a different idea. We never got on to end times.
There was a rift in the local fellowship and a whole day was spent on ministry
on problems in a fellowship and how they get sorted out and that there is only
strength in unity. We ask all readers of the blog to pray for this rift in the
Chilimba fellowship to be healed as it keeps rearing its ugly head.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Dan gaan dit goed, dan gaan dit sleg met baie stress wat natuurlik oorgedra word aan my arme vroutjie by die huis. Maar dit is wat ek nog altyd wou he – vandat ek in standerd 7 was het EK gese dat ek ‘n venoot in ‘n oudit firma gaan wees! En die geld was goed en ons moes van iewers die fertiliteits behandelings betaal! (om en by R25,000 per keer.

Ek <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:state w:st="on">kan</st1:state></st1:place>baie dinge hanteer en om iets werk, maar ek is nie bereid om my integriteit op te gee nie. Dit raak 1 van my kliente en ek se aan die vennote ek is nie bereid om dit te doen nie. ‘n Opkomende vennoot word toe op die opdrag geplaas om dit te hanteer. Gelukkig is dit toe Des vakansie en ek dink ek gaan net rustig raak oor die vakansie, miskien het ek ‘n beter perspektief in die nuwe jaar. (dit is ook in hierdie tyd dat ek regtig begin moeite maak met stiltetyd) Ek praat natuurlik baie met Lise deur hierdie tyd en sy hou aan ondersteun. Kom die nuwe jaar, niks verander nie. Ek skeduleer toe ‘n vergadering met die senior vennote, waarin ek die situasie verduidelik en se dat ek gaan bedank. Hulle is natuurlik geskok (nog net 1 keer van te vore het so iets gebeur in die geskiedenis van die firma - en daardie vennoot het ‘n baie goeie aanbieding van ‘n klient gekry) Ek het nie geweet wat ek gaan doen nie. Die vennote vra toe dat ek ‘n maand moet neem en weer herbesin. Hulle wil ook individueel met my praat. Die maand kom en die maand gaan en niks kom van die gesprekke nie. Die oggend wat die maand verby is en ek my finale besluit moet deurgee sit ek in my kantoor en bid en vra die Here asb vir bevestiging dat ek die regte besluit geneem het. Ds Braam Hannekom se dagstuk boekie was in my onderste laai en ek gaan maak dit oop by daardie betrokke dag se dagstukkie. (ek het nie geweet wat dit gaan wees nie, want ek het nie eintlik die dagstukkies gevolg nie) Maar dit was Gen 12: 1-2 Dit wat vir my bekend was, was my werk. Daardie dag dien ek my finale bedanking in en gee my jaar kennis.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 3.5in 4.0in 4.5in 5.0in 5.5in 6.0in 6.5in 7.0in; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 3.5in 4.0in 4.5in 5.0in 5.5in 6.0in 6.5in 7.0in; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Twee maande later is ons swanger en natuurlik verheug.

Soos altyd verwerk ek dit so vining as moontlik en beweeg aan. Ons gaan net nog ‘n behandeling doen. Ten minste het ons nou swanger geraak. En ek verdien nog my goeie salaris, so alles sal uitwerk. Ons volgende sessie sal in elk geval goedkoper wees, want daar is embrios gevries van die vorige keer se prosedure.

en Lise is al 9 jaar getroud. Toe ons
getroud is, het ek gese dat ons ten minste 5 jaar gaan wag voordat ons gaan
begin met ‘n gesin. (seker maar die tipiese ouditeur in my wat dinge beplan en
uitle) In elk geval na 4 jaar van
getroude lewe besluit ek en Lise dat die 5 jaar plan aangepas gaan word en dat
ons met ‘n gesin kan begin. (vrouens het mos maar so manier om altyd by die
beplanning te hou nie) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

en by daardie tyd het ons ‘n ISLS student gehuisves, Imraan van Pakistan. As ‘n totsiens geskenk, het hy vir ons Ps 37 – 4 gegee. Dit was 31 Aug 2008. Hy het ook aan ons genoem dat hy ons sien met
‘n seuntjie. Ons was natuurlik baie bly,
maar dit was nie vir ons ‘n groot verrassing nie, want ons verbly ons mos in
die Heer en ons gaan mos met ‘n gesin begin.
Ons gaan kerk toe, woon sel by ens ens.
Middel Jan 2009 kom kuier my beste vriend en sy vrou (wat op daardie
stadium nog nie heeltemal oortuig was of sy kinders wil he nie) by ons. Hulle is swanger met hul 1ste kind. Dit was dieselfde oggend wat ons ons eerste
negatiewe swangerskap toets gekry het.
Maar ons is fine, want dit is nog nie lank wat ons probeer nie en ons is
baie bly vir hulle!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dit
was min of meer die storie vir die volgende 4 jaar! Vriende dink net aan swanger word (en huil
baie keer dat dit te vining gebeur het), dan is dit so. Die vriend wat ek hierbo van praat het daarna
‘n tweeling gekry wat in Julie 3 was.
Wat was verkeerd met ons! Hoekom <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:state w:st="on">kan</st1:state></st1:place>
ons nie swanger word nie.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

ons (ek) sal dit oorkom. Tot op hierdie

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Intussen
het Ds Jan en Tannie Imelda by ons kom kuier en lekker by ons geeet en die aand
is afgesluit deur Ds Jan wat vir ons skrif gee – Ps 37:4 Can you believe
it! Vol inspirasie gaan ons so ver om
dit teen die spieel in ons slaapkamer te skryf, sodat ons dit elke dag <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:state w:st="on">kan</st1:state></st1:place> sien, maar niks
gebeur nie. Die negatiewe toetse bly
maar net aanhou kom en orals waar ons kom is iemand swanger! So het ons maar aangekarring.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Gedurende
hierdie tyd het ek ook baie wipplank by die werk gery. Dan gaan dit goed, dan gaan dit sleg met baie
stress wat natuurlik oorgedra word aan my arme vroutjie by die huis. Maar dit
is wat ek nog altyd wou he – vandat ek in standerd 7 was het EK gese dat ek ‘n
venoot in ‘n oudit firma gaan wees! En die geld was goed en ons moes van iewers
die fertiliteits behandelings betaal! (om en by R25,000 per keer. Geen mediese
fonds dekking) So, ons mission maar aan en druk maar deur die swakker tye by
die werk – almal het dit mos.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Einde
2010 gebeur daar iets by die werk waarmee ek nie saamstem nie. Ek <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:state w:st="on">kan</st1:state></st1:place>
baie dinge hanteer en om iets werk, maar ek is nie bereid om my integriteit op
te gee nie. Dit raak 1 van my kliente en ek se aan die vennote ek is nie bereid
om dit te doen nie. ‘n Opkomende vennoot
word toe op die opdrag geplaas om dit te hanteer. Gelukkig is dit toe Des
vakansie en ek dink ek gaan net rustig raak oor die vakansie, miskien het ek ‘n
beter perspektief in die nuwe jaar. (dit is ook in hierdie tyd dat ek regtig
begin moeite maak met stiltetyd) Ek praat natuurlik baie met Lise deur hierdie
tyd en sy hou aan ondersteun. Kom die
nuwe jaar, niks verander nie. Ek
skeduleer toe ‘n vergadering met die senior vennote, waarin ek die situasie
verduidelik en se dat ek gaan bedank.
Hulle is natuurlik geskok (nog net 1 keer van te vore het so iets gebeur
in die geskiedenis van die firma - en daardie vennoot het ‘n baie goeie
aanbieding van ‘n klient gekry) Ek het
nie geweet wat ek gaan doen nie. Die
vennote vra toe dat ek ‘n maand moet neem en weer herbesin. Hulle wil ook individueel met my praat. Die maand kom en die maand gaan en niks kom
van die gesprekke nie. Die oggend wat
die maand verby is en ek my finale besluit moet deurgee sit ek in my kantoor en
bid en vra die Here asb vir bevestiging dat ek die regte besluit geneem het. Ds Braam Hannekom se dagstuk boekie was in my
onderste laai en ek gaan maak dit oop by daardie betrokke dag se
dagstukkie. (ek het nie geweet wat dit
gaan wees nie, want ek het nie eintlik die dagstukkies gevolg nie) Maar dit was Gen 12: 1-2 Dit wat vir my bekend was, was my werk. Daardie dag dien ek my finale bedanking in en
gee my jaar kennis.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Twee
maande later is ons swanger en natuurlik verheug. Ongelukkig is ons eerste
seuntjie Ben op 8 weke van swangerskap
hemel toe. Ek en Lise is teen die grond.
Wat gaan aan! Ek is mos op die regte pad.
Soos altyd verwerk ek dit so vining as moontlik en beweeg aan. Ons gaan net nog ‘n behandeling doen. Ten
minste het ons nou swanger geraak. En ek
verdien nog my goeie salaris, so alles sal uitwerk. Ons volgende sessie sal in elk geval
goedkoper wees, want daar is embrios gevries van die vorige keer se
prosedure. Lise moet net eers bietjie
rus en ‘n maand of 2 afvat (hormoon behandeling is nogal rof) maar dan gaan ons
weer voort. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ons
is weer swanger met die volgende terugplanting, maar die 2de toets is negatief.
(na ‘n IVF doen hulle ‘n swangerskap toets en dan weer een 4 dae later om seker
te maak dat selverdeling reg plaasvind)
Hierdie keer is die bietjie makliker om te hanteer en ons staan weer op.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

breek die laaste dag by my werk ook aan….

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tydens
bostaande gebeure het God met my gewerk en ons voorberei vir dit wat ouerskap
regtig is. Dit is nie goed as ‘n ouer afwesig is in die lewe van sy kind nie.
En dit is wat ek sou wees indien ek by my vorige werk gebly het. (die ure was
lank – gemiddeld so 12 uur per dag) En dit is nie wat God vir my in gedagte
gehad het nie. Die vreugde wat ek kan sien op Simon se gesig as ek by die huis
kom is baie meer werd as al die geld in die wereld. In vandag se wereld is dit belangrik dat die
Pa in die huishouding weer die plek as koning en geestelike leier in die huis
moet inneem. Hy moet instaan vir sy
familie by God en hulle aan Hom opdra om hulle te beskerm teen die uitdagings

tot ons Vader. Die seening in my (ons)
lewens is ongelooflik en God seen my ongelooflik baie in my nuwe werk. Ek staan aan die einde van elke maand verstom
oor wat/ hoe God vir my en my gesin voorsien het in die vorige maand. God het my regtig voorspoedig gemaak soos wat

het toe die voorreg gehad om ‘selbyeenkomste’ by te woon wat deur Francois
Visser aangebied is. Ons behandel die
beginsels/ leeringe van Christenskap wat
in Heb 6:1-3 voorkom. Die 3de een
handel oor die doop en toe Francois daarmee begin, kom die begeerte by my op om
gedoop te word. Ek bespreek dit met Lise en 2 weke later is ons gedoop. Dit was ‘n baie geseende gebeurtenis wat deur
baie vriende in Christus bygewoon is. En
wat my opgeval het is die vriendelikheid wat hulle aan ons geopenbaar het. Ons
is gelukgewens en welkom geheet. God het
by ons ‘n behoefte geskep om Sy woord te bestudeer en tyd te maak vir Hom en ek
kan getuig dat dit ‘n wonderlike ervaring is en dat ek nie kan glo dat ek al
die jare daarsonder kon klaarkom nie.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

This young fellowship meets under a tree but is looking to the Lord for ground for a building.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9k7YsJzYXdzoHdeuUGCaPznl0gtN6N9Nv5k_1fQEukHpDLWZbK3pnRzkl2kyQJBd0iNuYyPaxl_lo_J472NiRlbf3d9m0HJ-zYES0yAtofvkrv_Bpr09ph6bXtVlis8QGrn7QdopxX2Q/s1600/Namekopo+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9k7YsJzYXdzoHdeuUGCaPznl0gtN6N9Nv5k_1fQEukHpDLWZbK3pnRzkl2kyQJBd0iNuYyPaxl_lo_J472NiRlbf3d9m0HJ-zYES0yAtofvkrv_Bpr09ph6bXtVlis8QGrn7QdopxX2Q/s400/Namekopo+2.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Believers from SA donated funds to assist the work in Nampula and this was put to good use through the purchase of a bicycle.

two-fold, first to visit and encourage the believers of the three fellowships
in Nampula, confirming them in the foundation and secondly to travel further
North to Mossuril, to accomplish the same purpose in the believers there.</span></div>

Nampula, a fellowship in the suburb of Namekope 1. Approximately 18 months
previously Rupert and Kurt had visited Namekope 1 at which time a wonderful
outpouring of the Spirit resulted in many being transferred out of the darkness
and into the light. Gloriously in the interim young people full of the Holy
Ghost began evangelizing the local area founding two more fellowships, one in
Namekope 2 and the other at Saua- Saua.</span></div>

Gospel and over 40 people responded with heartfelt and sincere cries to God for
transference out of darkness and into light! With great joy we were able to
conclude our stay with an afternoon baptismal service in the very waters where
once Arabs and then the Portuguese loaded the enslaved onto ships.</span></div>

that some men had tried to break into his home the previous night. Fortunately
his wife heard them and screamed, alerting neighbors and frightening the
intruders off! It was quickly settled that two young men from the Chimoio
fellowship would sleep over at Elias’s house until his return.</span></div>

ask we specially remember Elias and his family before the Lord as often as
possible, they need much grace.</span></div>

masquerading as a road to Saua- Saua before crossing the river via a “rock”
bridge, often on three wheels. This area is being evangelized by a young man
from Namekope 1 named Jucinto. He walks this road twice a week, a 60km round
trip.</span></div>

ancestor worship and have proved to be very resistant toward the Gospel.
Jucinto faithfully used of the Lord has however established a small fellowship
of believers. Land has been obtained for a church and they have begun making
the 1000 bricks they will need. Preaching here provided new challenges,
requiring 3 languages (English, Portuguese and the local Makuwa language) and
two interpreters! The Lord was gracious and the word was warmly received and
much was achieved in the short time we could be there.</span></div>

wonderfully joyous group of believers with a good understanding of the Gospel.
A sister named Sara having moved from Namekope 1 began evangelizing in this
area. At first, among her family but later the community at large. She has a
wonderful spirit, full of the joy of the Lord and has demonstrated a gift for
evangelism. She is supported by another young man who oversees the fellowship
named Olivia. This young fellowship meets under a tree but is looking to the
Lord for ground for a building.</span></div>

Throughout the cold and wet weekend, our hearts were warmly knitted together in love, expectation and the immeasureable joy of worshipping our Heavenly Father! As always, the Lord served us with much - imparting new insights to His ways, His purpose and His desire for us to fullfill our calling according to the measure of Christ in us. Reflecting on the teachings and especially on the encouragement and assurances given through the interpretation of tongues, our hearts were comforted in knowing, that through Him, we are worthy! <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The outworking of the spiritual gifts, once again showed, that when we draw nigh to God, He will draw nigh to us!
