Wat `n voorreg om te kan GAAN! Go for it, Elbe, die tyd is min en die oes is groot. Die hele skepping kreun in afwagting en wag met rykhalsende verlange vir die openbaarmaking van die seuns van Abba...Die tyd is ryp vir hierdie openbaarmaking!! Mag SY GEES jou opvul en salf, sodat jy die saad wat jy ontvang het kan uitgee...As you lift HIM up, may He draw many unto HIS SON, MESSIAH YAHSHUA!! mariska

News from Elbé:

For the past 5 weeks I’ve been with Global challenge base camp. This is the preparation/training time for the new students. We had the privilege of sitting under Floyd Mclung’s teachings and we also did a course in Theophostics which is a prayer ministry for emotional healing. All of this happened in Jeffrey’s bay where we also worked everyday for a few ours at a school in one of the local townships.

This is a public school that was not able to function properly because of the blocked toilets. Children only went to school until 10:00am.

- We fixed and cleaned the schools toilets
- Painted the roof of the school
- And danced with the children of the school we worked at

We then went to Transkei where we continued a study with the students on the Kingdom of heaven and world views. This got me very excited once again about the coming of Jesus! A verse that stood out for me this week was

1 John 2:28-3:3 “And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him. Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.”

I realized once again how important it is to surrender all to God and trust Him to purify us. I’ve experienced this to be a rather uncomfortable and hard process, but in this last week I was encouraged remembering a verse in

Heb 12:2 “looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross,…” :3 “Just think of Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.”

If we then keep our eyes on the joy that is set before us, shich is His kingdom and Jesus’ second coming, we can endure. Is 40:31 also says that those who wait upon the Lord, (who expect, look for and hope in Him) shall renew their strength and power… they shall run and not be weary, the shall walk and not faint or become tired. Wow, what a great hope this is!!!!!

On the train back from Transkei we worshipped God with some other believers!
I will be in Pretoria now where we have one more week of base camp left before the teams leave. I will then be preparing to leave for India in April and meet up with the different teams to continue with basic discipleship and supporting them. Those of you who knows me well will know that I’ve always had a love for people, but God has started to stir a passion in my heart to disciple them and I am really looking forward to this time of learning and growing in it.

I still trust God for everything and can witness of His faithfulness all the time!!

Love and blessings,

Elbè
