Water Baptism in Thornton Cape Town

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;” – Mark 16: 15-16

A few new folk have been added to our fellowship in the last few months and on Thursday the 6^th of November 2014 two of our group were baptised.

Elizabeth Mattheetestified that she had recently become a believer and was excited about her new found faith and even though she had just had an operation on her right arm and was all bandaged up, she was not going to let that stop her from being baptised.

Maryanne Collett testified that she had been a Christian but had backslidden. She had this physical disability which impacted negatively on her relationships. This was a result of a heart operation. Even family were unkind to her. In spite of this she always knew that God loved and protected her. Despite negative medical predictions God blessed her with a beautiful baby son.

We then joined the candidates in singing the Chorus “I have decided to follow Jesus...” We had witnessed the two baptismal candidates who had made a declaration that they had died with Christ and had risen to a new Life in Him.

 May God bless them as they each journey with Him.

Western Cape Family Camp 2014

Warm sunny weather greeted campers as they arrived on the Friday at De Hollandsche Mollen just outside Franschoek.  Peter and Mary Hawes, after a long journey joined us for a wonderful weekend full of Fellowship and the richness of God’s Word. The Friday was given over to settling in and renewing acquaintances, many folk only arriving Saturday.However a blessed praise and worship meeting was enjoyed after dinner, the Holy Ghost giving immediate direction to the weekend through an abundance of Spiritual Gifts that continued to  proliferate in all the meetings.

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.

Not a single person 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 to say that we all made some serious admissions and committed ourselves to His working, bringing powerful change in our lives.

It would be remiss not to give a big thank you to our “Kitchen Hero’s” who freely gave of themselves, selflessly ministering to our needs. It is a massive task catering for the camp, lots of late nights that become early mornings in preparation and constant labour throughout the weekend 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 blessing.

Tony & Carol Robson Cape Town July 2014

We Capetonians tend always to blame visitors for the bad weather and just as we slipped into our coldest winter in Forty years Tony and Carol Robson arrived for a two week stay! Now I’m not saying there is a connection but if there is even the remotest possibility that there is, they made up for it a hundred times over as they shared the Lord Jesus every where they went.

Believe me they went every where. In the Cape we are not backward in coming forward. Tony and Carol visited every fellowship, True Light Meeting and outreach we have going. They traveled the South Peninsula, Northern Suburbs, ventured behind the Boereworse curtain, attempted whale watching in Gansbaai and trekked all the way to Langebaan.

We had such wonderful input from Tony and Carol as they ministered to us lovingly and patiently, encouraging, strengthening and teaching in every place. Thank you so very much for your time and trouble; we really enjoyed the warm fellowship and look forward to seeing you again.

Christ as Life

At Southfield, we have been challenged to consider 'Christ as Life', and how He is living His Life through us.

With that in mind, I am writing a quote from G.H. Knight that I read this morning.....

"What joy it gives, and strength
 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'
...'A servant of Jesus Christ!'...then I dare not be the servant of sin; I must be holy as my Master is holy.
...'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.
...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.
...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.
...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' "

May the Lord Jesus Christ enable us to be all of the above, is my prayer in Jesus name. Jean.

Western Cape Men's Camp 2014

This year the annual Western Cape Men’s Camp took place a little later than usual, just as an early winter snap put snow on the mountains! It was good to see men representing practically every fellowship and True Light Group come together in earnest anticipation of what the Lord would say to us. Seeing the wonderful cross-section of brethren gathered at De Hollandsche Molen in Franschoek was a reminder of just how much the Lord has done in growing his work over the past year.

The Lord wasted little time and got right down to business challenging us to dig deep, past all the rubbish in our lives, to get rid of all the “rommell in die trommell” (the unofficial catch phrase over the weekend). It was time to be the men with the ministries that He could use. What a blessing to hear the earnest discussions taking place during the breaks between meetings as men discussed the message and challenge. The ministry was supported by relevant, personal testimonies from a number of brethren that brought an intimacy to the whole weekend. The fruit of this weekend is having an effect in the local fellowships as brethren have continued to apply themselves in response to the challenge and we see how the Lord is building His Church in the Cape!

We thank Bro Peter Hawyes for driving all the way from KwaZulu Natal to share the goodness of Jesus and blessing us in the challenge of His word.
