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.
