My best subject in school was always Biology...and the reason for that is...because there is lots of pictures in the text book!! The Bible does say,: "do unto others what you want to be done unto yourself", so I will not bore you with to many paraghraps but rather show some colourful pictures!!
Red Hill, Cape Peninsula
09 February 2008
Raging fires across the Cape Peninsula have destroyed houses and left people with nothing.
The runaway fire did the most damage in Red Hill, an informal settlement, where at least 55 houses have been burned down and more than 90
people have been displaced.
“All I have left is the clothes on my body,” says Wonder. A single guy living in Red Hill. His house was completely burned to the ground while he was at work.
Global Challenge (GC) Staff who is working with All Nations in the area decided to visit Red Hill and access the damage.
“We were completely shocked at the extent of the damage,” says Stefan Kleyn, GC Staff member.
RED HILL - 27 March 2008
I often wonder what life would be like once Red Hill returns to complete normality.
What would substitute the sounds of hammers pounding nails, saw’s sawing wood and sink being dragged over the rocky surface?
Would it be reduced to an eerie stillness, void of all life, the only sound the wind howling in the Hills, echoing voices of a community that is long forgotten? Forever incinerated
by the raging fires that swept across the peninsula.
ONLY WHEN YOU KNOW GOD, YOU CAN MAKE HIM KNOWN
Talking about the character of God, Uncle Christopher’s favorite line was “Come and see and taste that the Lord is good”. It’s quoted from one of David’s psalms if I’m not mistaken.
Just a few quick pics to keep you up to date on the progress on Maggie's brand new home!
Because we are giving her an actual wood-floor (This will be the first house she has ever lived in with a floor other than soil) we had to dig some holes for the support beams.
This took us about two days, because of a lot of stones in the ground...
Recently, a book titled Principle Centered Leadership caught my eye when I visited my Mom. Stephen R Covey captured my attention quickly in the first chapter and very soon I came across a line he used that almost jumped right out of the page and was highlighted in my thoughts ever since.
“The challenge”, he said, “is to be a light, not a judge and to be a model, not a critic.”
When Jannie arrived to start the missions and outreach part of our course, he asked a very unfair question to each one of us. He wanted to know what the ONE thing we remember from the course thus far would be if we forgot all else. What would be the one thing that stands out?
Of course we all felt that it was impossible to answer this question as there have simply been too many wonderful revelations from God during the first four weeks already. But here are the answers from the team:
