FEEDBACK FROM THE 4TH OF APRIL -

Awesome fellowship once again. We had some visitors, Wayne, Marlise and their children Jordan and Cara (a homeschooling family). This was really great and they certainly added to evening. Wayne is a horse dentist and is blessed and doing really well. They are at a place in their lives however where they want to go from success to significance. They realise that "things and money" are meaningless in the grander scheme of things.

Mark mentioned that he realised how we in the western world live. We build up to a nice big house, debts paid off etc and when we finally "get there" we start downscaling for retirement and eventually move into an old age home. Where is the sense in that? Marlise asked the question "How do you develop the passion for that thing that God has for you? How do you find it?" We had several answers to this. Get on your bicycle and start pedalling. Get busy and you will find your passion. Get into a caravan of people travelling in the same direction (iron sharpens iron), develop a world christian prayer life, put your hand to the plough and use your telescope of vision. Wayne asked the question "what do you do if God has blessed your business and you are debt free, how do you get involved?" This brought up a discussion on investment in the kingdom, in things with eternal value.

Mario brought up a movie that takes place in India which really touched him. This caused him to question whether we are really serious about laying down our lives for the unreached. Malcolm shared a bit of where he is at and read to us from Job 12 and 13 which just made us realise that God is truly in control.

Another thing that came up was animals and how much money and time we spend on them. There are some people who give their lives to saving animals. This obviously brought on a discussion on world view. All very interesting to say the least. A real hodgepodge of subjects or should I say a potjie pot. That of course brings us on to the food which was yummy!
