"THANK YOU"! :)

"THANK YOU"! :)

To God our Father and to those who have donated and are yet to donate, to send myself with with my Team on our South Africa MTO Mission:

As you know, I have been chosen to go with this Team on a mission trip to the Zulu township of Bhekulwandle South Africa, just outside south of Durban and west of Amanzimtoti Kwa-Zulu Natal South Africa from May 29th/08 - June 16th/08 through my church, Centre Street Church Calgary:

http://www.cschurch.ca/

In Bhekulwandle Township South Africa we will work with the local church (Church of the Nazarene) and its mission.


This mission is called "The Seed of Hope”: http://theseedofhope.org/

What the Team and I will be doing on this mission is:

- The Purchase of new laptops for the installation/networking in a new Work Lab in the Church of the Nazarene.

- Currently they have PC's but they are antiquated and are in need of newer ones.

- Also, we will be upgrading the OS of current machines in a local School and trouble shooting these work stations as well.

- To teach both groups of children all about the newly installed operating systems and how to do research safely on the Internet.

- Our goal for this equipment once operational, is to allow children an outlet to the rest of the world and also as a learning tool in combating, as they call it, "The Sickness" = AID's.

- The current Medical Clinic also needs to have assistance in teaching on how to prevent "The Sickness". Which will really anger the local Shaman's.

- To learn how and comfort people currently infected with "The Sickness" and to give HOPE to those who are just HIV positive. As we will be working with currently trained and in the field care givers.

** These poor people are in denial and at the same time the local Shaman's will tell the people not to accept help for "The Sickness" from the white people as our medicine is bad.

** Also Apartheid may be ended in South Africa but the healing for this tragedy is also a long road.

- Our Team is also are going to install a new Sound system for the Church and set up a portable system that can be taken to other villages.

- We will advise and equip Women's support groups through a workshop so they can learn how to assist each other and while we are there we will set up a rest/retreat schedule for the women seem to be the main source of all volunteers for this area.

- Asses and repair as needed various buildings and rooms.

- Investigate future needs and to set up through our Church and other agencies, the building of future new homes and other buidings.

So with my limited talents and God's guidance, by working with my MTO Team, I believe that I can do this!

Again, "Thank You" for reading this and all of your donations.
May God Bless you all, always.

Asimbonanga


Asimbonanga

Chorus : (2x)
Asimbonanga (We have not seen him)
Asimbonang' uMandela thina (We have not seen Mandela)
Laph'ekhona (In the place where he is)
Laph'ehleli khona (In the place where he is kept)

Oh the sea is cold and the sky is grey
Look across the Island into the Bay
We are all islands till comes the day
We cross the burning water

Chorus :
Asimbonanga (We have not seen him)
Asimbonang' uMandela thina (We have not seen Mandela)
Laph'ekhona (In the place where he is)
Laph'ehleli khona (In the place where he is kept)

A seagull wings across the sea
Broken silence is what I dream
Who has the words to close the distance
Between you and me

Chorus :
Asimbonanga (We have not seen him)
Asimbonang' uMandela thina (We have not seen Mandela)
Laph'ekhona (In the place where he is)
Laph'ehleli khona (In the place where he is kept)

Steve Biko

Chorus :
Asimbonanga
Asimbonang 'umfowethu thina (we have not seen our brother)
Laph'ekhona (In the place where he is)
Laph'wafela khona (In the place where he died)

Victoria Mxenge

Chorus :
Asimbonanga
Asimbonang 'umfowethu thina (we have not seen our brother)
Laph'ekhona (In the place where he is)
Laph'wafela khona (In the place where he died)

Neil Aggett

Hey wena (Hey you!)
Hey wena nawe (Hey you and you as well)
Siyofika nini la' siyakhona (When will we arrive at our destination)

Chorus :
Asimbonanga
Asimbonang 'umfowethu thina (we have not seen our brother)
Laph'ekhona (In the place where he is)
Laph'wafela khona (In the place where he died)

Hosanna


Missing the Most Important Thing

We take folks through a discipleship program whereby they master any number of Christian precepts and miss the most important thing of all, the very thing for which we were created: intimacy with God. There are, after all, those troubling words Jesus spoke to those who were doing all the “right” things:

Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you’” (Matt. 7:23). Knowing God, that’s the point.

You might recall the old proverb: “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”

The same holds true here.

Teach a man a rule and you help him solve a problem; teach a man to walk with God and you help him solve the rest of his life.
Truth be told, you couldn’t master enough principles to see yourself safely through this. There are too many surprises, ambiguities, exceptions to the rule.


Things are hard at work is it time to make a move? What has God called you to do with your life? Things are hard at home is this just a phase your son is going through, or should you be more concerned? You can’t seem to shake this depression is it medical or something darker? What does the future hold for you and how should you respond?

Only by walking with God can we hope to find the path that leads to life. That is what it means to be a disciple. After all aren’t we “followers of Christ”?

Then by all means, let’s actually follow Him, not ideas about Him, not just His principles.

Him!
