Fulfilling All Righteousness in Gansbaai

On Tuesday, 7 May, 2013, under the leadership of Rupert Freese, we were privileged to witness both Rob Koppel and Jenny Griffiths go through the waters of baptism.

Jenny indicated that as a born again believer she felt the need to be baptised, while Rob shared that he understood water baptism to be an act of obedience to the Lord.  In being immersed he believed he was identifying with the Lord’s death and burial, and in rising from the water, he was identifying with our Lord Jesus’ resurrection from the dead.

We rejoice with them both in testifying publicly to their faith in Jesus Christ.

This very special event was captured on video by Rob’s son, Lloyd.

Thank you Dudley & Shirley for the report and Lloyd for the video.

Cape Town Or Bust!

Being "voor op die wa" Capetonians, we leaped at the opportunity to make the most of Tony and Carol Robson's  month long stay in the Mother City!

We are very happy they jumped in wholeheartedly perhaps blinking but definitely never flinching at the very full schedule of visits to the various preaching points we had arranged for them.

Based in sleepy Fishhoek every trip was a journey "up the line", traveling from the Southern Suburbs to the Northern Suburbs, Gansbaai to Langebaan, every group of believers enjoyed the blessing that Tony and Carol brought with them.

We give thanks to the Lord and to Tony and Carol, and are confident that the seed that was sown is germinating and will produce fruit in its season.

Mens Camp April 2013

The Lord had really begun early on Friday night with a prophesy of the woman who came to Jesus with her alabaster box of perfume and broke it over the feet of the Lord. Not long after that had the entire room been filled with that fragrance.

From the Friday till Sunday we had been exhorted, to remove the lid of the container within our hearts, containing the gift from the Lord that had been give to us.

The responsibility remains with us whether we remove the lid of the box or not, but in doing so allowing that fragrance to be released and permeating every molecule of air around it.

With allowing the gift of Christ to be stirred up within us and allowing others to hear, smell and taste it, it could only be a wonderful, sweet smelling savor to the Lord.

Thanks to Scott and Tony for their shared gift which was sweet to our ears and I'm sure to the Lord's.

Thanks to Jason for the testimony and to Lucio & Marco for the photo's.

Mission Trip April 2013

Another week in the life of a missionary

4th April 2013 lots of people commit to come but in the end it is just the four of us that leave, Rupert Freese, Bruce Munro, Sean Botha and Peter Lord. There are always worldly complications!

The Condor had problems with its engine number so could have caused problems at the border. As there were only four of us we went up in the one vehicle and left the condor in Johannesburg. 

For a change all the border crossings were a breeze apart from our last one at Biet Bridgecoming back into SA. 30 buses at the border at 6AM and us last in the queue! Thanks to Elvis and Louis of SA Immigration for helping us through. If it wasn't for the fact that Louis’s birthday was the same as Rupert’s we would probably still be waiting there.

This mission trip was a tale of two halves. Rupert and Sean went one way and had many miracles as they saw the Lord providing the increase to many of the seeds that they had planted on earlier trips. Peter and Bruce on the other hand had no miracles this time and were just quietly making disciples of men by ministering the gospel into people’s lives.

One day for us was much like the next different village and different people but the same gospel. The Lord was teaching us patience as we would minister for an hour and only four or five  out of fifty people or more would understand what we were saying about Jesus and his commandments and how we get eternal life. The Lord just tells us to sow seed. He does not say only in good deep ground.

When we know the Lord  it is difficult to understand why people do not receive such a simple message with gladness in the hearts – but then it took me 46 years to receive the message and the Word says that people’s ears will be closed to the good news.

Highlights of the trip

• Sitting in a group of huts having been welcomed as honoured guests by the residents and inter acting with the men and children of Malawi and Mozambique is just like being on a real life National  Geographic experience.
• Seeing the joy in some people’s faces as they receive the Lord and the honour of being able to minister the Word of the Lord into people’s lives.
• The view from the top of the mountain in Gambatula after a really challenging 4x4 drive took  my breath away.
•  Lunch in the house of the local chief.

Low-lights of the trip

• Mike Giel taking a swallow dive onto the toilet in Blantyre and annihilating it! Luckily Sean had extensive first aid training and managed to get him to the local Seventh Day Adventist hospital where he received 12 internal and 20 external stitches and then left the next day with Peter Hawes for Natal. We missed them both and their ministry and fellowship and prayed for a safe journey and recovery for Mike.
• South African border crossing.
• Hearing of the hard physical times that our brothers in Christ in Malawi and Mozambiquego through. Elias with his shoulder popping out and poor medical care in Mozambique. We hope to be able to bring him to S.A shortly to have it fixed.

At the end of the day “if you want to stay as you are for the rest of your life” don’t go on a mission trip. They change lives thank the Lord! Next trip September 2013. Contact Rupert on 083 799 5522.

Thanks to Peter for the Report and to Bruce for the Photo's
