At the start of our ministry, I soon realised that I would have to get up early in the morning to write. During the day, there are usually just too many things on my plate that need to be moved around if I want to spend quiet time with the Lord. The problem is that […]
Read MoreI was the last of six children. My brothers and sisters say I was spoilt, but I disagree. When my brothers wanted a guinea pig to test their newly made darts, I had no choice but to run. Then they tried to hit my heels with the darts. I slept very soundly and if I […]
Read MoreI have a friend in Pretoria who, like me, is like a child at heart when it comes to new technology. He taught me about inserting small electronic boards in the motors of gates, garage doors, pool pumps and even my irrigation. My kids just always shake their heads because it’s actually my party trick. […]
Read MoreIf Jesus had not come to earth, we would’ve been in deep trouble. We would’ve been wandering around in the dark not having a clue about what was going on. Jesus became human to be the Light in our dark world. He came to tell us about God and about God’s great love for us. […]

Read MoreWhenever I find a piece of luck, I quickly tell all my friends about it. When I hear about Karoo sheep for sale at a good price, I share the info with all my friends. I can’t help myself. I want everyone to experience the same good fortune. Yes, sometimes I’ve bought a pig in […]
Read MoreThere’s a beautiful story of a grandson who did everything like his grandfather. When he saw that his grandfather was reading the Bible every morning, he began to walk in the Word himself. One day he showed up at his grandpa’s house and said: “Grandpa, I don’t understand many of the things I read in […]
Read MoreWho I am and who you are is shaped by the world we live in. We are who we are because of our parents. Look at how you respond to a crisis. Look at your mannerisms. Sometimes it’s shocking to see how much like our parents we are. However, many other things play a role […]
Read MoreI wasn’t a very good student when I was at university. I did everything but study. I managed restaurants, was a bus driver for Intercape, and even had my own irrigation business, Sproeikor.
