I had an amazing sunday, in a way unusual from a typical “great sunday”. The week was actually strewn with all kinds of bumps, ups and downs. I was to preach this morning again, Joshua 2 … was so looking forward to it, because this is such a great chapter.

Hey there,

Anyway, i am thankful for [...]

Welcome to my new blog.
In the next while (years) i will have updates for you from the land of milk and honey (Germany). So, for now, this site is dedicated to my friends in South Africa (and elsewhere) that just want to keep up what’s going on, etc.
As time goes by i will also use [...]
