STORY | The police in Bloemfontein came to our rescue at 2am #MissionTrip


 On our arrival in Bloemfontein we got lost looking for our accommodation. This was 2am in the morning. The GPS navigation failled us. We drove around for about 30 minutes and everyone was distressed at this point. We just wanted to rest!!

Realising that we couldn't get to our accommodation we looked for a POLICE STATION and asked for help. When the Police heard that we're on our way to Cape Town and we're preaching Jesus Christ they were happy and just wanted to take part. 

They offered to escort us to our accommodation and this gesture alone reminded me of something very special about Evangelism: that we ALL have a role to play in Making Jesus Famous🙌

Evangelism is not an exclusive province for ordained ministers or evangelism committees or highly skilled socialites. For evangelism to flourish every member must contribute in their own way lihambe ivangeli. #MakingJesusFamous

We are doing our last day in Bloemfontein and tomorrow we will be in Colesberg. Let's go. #CWJC South African Police Service

Aspire2Inspire | My visit to my former secondary school in Orange Farm

The first book I read while I was in primary is Nelson Mandela's long walk to freedom . I stole the book from my sister side table and I don't remember returning it😶 In one of his famous quotes Nelson Mandela says " What matters in life is not the mere fact that you have lived, but it is the difference you made in the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life you lead".   When I was in high school I would always glare at the recently graduated alumni who always came back to motivate us. It was only after I left high school that I realised the true value of these high school visits.  We come from Impoverished townships. Education is the only way out. However, lack of information, socio economic barriers, geographic location and poverty continue to make it difficult for township pupils to access higher education.  The main challenge that I am most interested in is the lack of information among high schoolers. This is information regarding differe...
