We had a wonderful time together on Saturday evening. Each of us shared our lows and highs of this year and our plans (or what He has showed us) for the following year. It was great to look back as we were so encouraged by what God has done in each of our lives and how He has changed us and still is. We had all been through some "valley" experiences during the year and it was amazing to see how that had changed for all of us and how we had grown through it. God really did some root work in 2010. Some of us had "flown the nest" and were able to testify that God has really been faithful and looked after us every step of the way. We were all clearly able to see his hand at work in our lives and this once again made us see that HE REALLY IS IN CONTROL.
Aldi shared some of JJ's experiences in India. It was great to hear that he is doing so well and that God is opening up opportunities for him everywhere.
Aldi knows someone who gives a very convincing argument that the gospel is only for the Jews and not for the other nations. We discussed this in length, visited different bible verses and found it very interesting.

TOO LATE, TOO LATE
Last week we put out a last minute notice that Danie and Esther were going to be sharing at the Pretoria fellowship and not Midrand. Unfortunately it was a bit too late as everyone in the Midrand fellowship had prior commitments (due to Pretoria fellowship taking place in the afternoon and not the evening). Other's had sick children. This week everyone is looking forward to good fellowship, kingdom discussions and some good old spurring each other one. Hope to see you there.
SAT EVENING - 4 DECEMBER 2010
After a very full week away with Philip's sending cell we gathered together on Saturday night for some kingdom focussed fellowship. Instead of the usual bring and share we decided to have an ice cream and chocolate sauce evening. The main topic of the evening was journalling which is a way of sitting at the Father's feet and hearing his heart for us on different situations that we face. It is really important that we develop this in our lives so that we can hear His voice clearly and obey. The topic evolved into prayer, ineffective and effective. It is so easy to pray our own will over a situation instead of first finding out what God is doing in that situation and what His will is regarding it. Really interesting stuff. This of course then led on to a discussion on healing and how we pray for that. A few things that Schwemma said really made us question our faith when it comes to "how we pray" for this. Anyway, we all had a great evening and went home with lots of food for thought.
