Life like no Other

A few times the past three weeks I've had the thought: “I would rather be here, than anywhere else in the world…”

These few words get new meaning when you are standing amongst the ruins of 72 burnt down shacks! The Red Hill fire-disaster in the Cape Peninsula caught a whole community by surprise, but I was certainly not prepared for what lied ahead of me as I drove along the road leading to the disaster stricken community for the first time.

The Airplane cruised down the runway , I could hear the engines increasing in speed as the noise grew louder and louder.

Then suddenly, just before take-off, one engine cut out. Silence. The pilot stopped the aircraft and taxied back to the airport.

Guess what???????

After almost a month in Colombia we are now in Taganga, on the north coast of Colombia, and we’ll be heading to Cartagena before we take a connecting flight to Guatemala through Bogota and Panama City. I have thought it well to create a page for Megiddo Ministries (the ministry through which I send out newsletters) on facebook . Through this it is much easier to make Megiddo Ministries more easily interactive, being able to give through short status updates, notes, testimonies, photos and videos in a less formal format than a newsletter. People can also respond and interact more...

Waiting for our bus on the pavement in Beijing, Hattingh took out his guitar and we started to sing. Soon we were attracting a crowd with our singing. My eye caught a young guy to the right of the crowd – he looked shy and uncertain, his face puzzled.

If I speak with fluency in another language but have not love.  I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.  If I wear the national dress and understand the culture and all its customs so that I could pass for a national but have not love, I gain nothing.  Love endures long hours of language study and does not envy those who stayed at home.  Love does not exalt his home culture, is not proud of his national superiority, does not boast about the way we do it back home, does not think evil about his new country.  Love bears all criticism about his place of origin and believes the best about his new place of ministry.  Love endures all demands on personal time. 

Last week I was walking past the movies at the local cinema and what I saw was a huge shock to me: There wasn& rsquo;t one non occultist movie that you could watch. Even the movies for family entertainment and children had strong connections with some or other form of the occult or satanism!

In agreement with what I have observed the past two years in the world around me, my spirit has been crying out! I believe we are in a time like no other! I believe that the harvest is plentiful – the labourers few - and that satan is pulling out all stops to grab what he still can!
