Category: Voltyds werk vir Christus

Got saved in church as a young man.  My grandfather, being an elder in church, raised me in his house.  From a young age involved in church-life.
From Sunday school to leadership, I have lots to say about all of that, but later in person.

Now involved with Men’s ministry and other initiatives regarding ministry and such.  Looking forward to sharing more of this when we come together in fellowship.

Ons is Vrydag bymekaar by Bergsig met TGIF Vredelust, TGIF Kenridge en Stellenberg Manne Groep—ons eerste gesamentlike byeenkoms wat elke kwartaal gehou word op ‘n beurt grondslag.

Die tema is: “Eenmaal Gered, Altyd Gered?” en ons het ‘n paneel van gaste wat die oggend sal lei met hulle “opinies” en waarhede.

Die paneel is Jacques Malan van Fathers Voice, George Lehmann van Bikers Church, Colin Banfield van Community Church en Wilco Roberts, een van ons eie Boetas

Boetas om die tafels neem ook deel.

Hierdie week se spreker is Mark Thomas van die Dubanville Community Church.

A Macgyver. A Jack of all trades, but master of a few, maybe one!  Hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

Ek is tans as Fondswerwer werksaam by die MES Centre of Hope in Durbanville. Ek was vir 20 jaar in die bediening en het einde 2020 God se roeping na die haweloses ervaar. Ek glo dat ek in my roeping loop en ek geniet elke oomblik!
Ek is baie lief vir ons Durbanville Gemeenskap en glo dat ons as kerk en MES God se Konigkryk in Durbanville kan laat kom.

My name is Nkosekhaya (known as Khaya) Lala.

I lead a church, His Compassion Christian Assembly, which was planted in 2012.  The Church is located in Kraaifontein, with branches within and outside the province . I’m also one of the leaders (Vice-Chairperson) of the Pastors Against Church Closure (PACC), which is a national movement, whose objective is to ensure that the Church’s voice is not ignore anymore.

Lastly,  I teach part-time at Graet Commission Bible College.

After being removed from my own parents (an alcoholic abusive dad and mentally disabled mother) at age 7, I was placed in foster care together with one of my sisters. We experienced life only as outsiders, looking in on this family’s life. They left us for Canada when we were 18 and 19 years old. Having experienced rejection, judgement, and emotional abuse, it was hard to comprehend that God shows His amazing love and faithfulness in Jesus. But once He came through, I’ve learned that His love never fails.

I have worked in several orphanages first in Haiti and then in Ethiopia, and it is my passion to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. Here is a link to a video from one of the ministries I’ve worked for – focussing on God’s heart for the fatherless and our depraved indifference!

 

Hierdie Vrydag kuier Henry Pike by ons.  Die formaat gaan in ‘n gesprekvorm wees en George Lehman van die Bikers Church gaan ook deelnaam aan die gesprek saam met Leon en Oswald.  Die vraag wat bespreek gaan word is as die lewe na die dood die enigste ding is wat God jou bied, sal jy Hom nog steeds volg?

Dit beloof om baie interesant te wees so moet dit nie mis nie.

Baie dankie aan ons boeta Charl van Wyk van die Community Church wat hierdie Vrydag se spreker vir ons aanbeveel het.

Pastor Siniko Nxesi is a true soldier for Christ. Despite being shot in the arm and back, during a church robbery, he has remained steadfast in his faith and prayers. The horrific experience has not only made him a stronger Christian but solidified his resolve to radically fight for the Kingdom of God.

Siniko is now a convenor of Pastors Against Church Closures – a four-month-old national movement that has birthed a new desire among pastors to stand in unity for the sake of the Gospel, and righteousness in our society.

God’s Word is clear; we are commanded by the Lord to observe a sabbath rest and keep it holy; we are to gather around the Word and receive communion; we are commanded not to give up meeting together; we are commanded to make disciples of all nations, teach, and baptize; to lay hands on and send out missionaries. Elders of the church are to pray over and anoint the sick with oil; we are required to sing together, greet one another, bear one another’s burdens, and exercise church discipline.

Pastors have struggled with the question: What should we do if worldly powers interfere with Christ’s clear commands to His Church?

Martin Luther wrote:
“Those who are engaged in a spiritual ministry such as preachers and pastors must likewise remain steadfast before the peril of death. We have a plain command from Christ, “A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep, but the hireling sees the wolf coming and flees” (John 10:11). For when people are dying, they most need a spiritual ministry which strengthens and comforts their consciences by word and sacrament and in faith overcomes death.”
