“With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible”
(Matt 19:26)
If I look back to where I am now, I realise that God has more times over made this exceptional exprerience a reality in my life. I was born in Witbank, South Africa, on the 31 October 1981. My childhood was not easy and I had a lot of questions, but through drawing pictures to God, always chatting with Him, in a way, He always held me very close to His heart. I completed school (secondary education) in 1999, and went to study. I studied for four years, and qualified as a teacher. In this year I longed to make a difference, and my heart wanted to share Jesus with people. I decided to join C-Kruis (13 th Floor in America) for two years. During this period the Lord came and did a lot of healing and He started to raise me up to what He wanted me to be…a Princess. I have beautiful parents who supported me and believed in me, a younger brother that has shown me courage and I am privileged to have a close family who have stood by me.
I remember helping my mom in hospital when I was young. I remember going with my dad to the park, but some where God just came and ever since He has always been there. Looking into my own suffering God tought me to totally dependent on Him, and to feel with His heart for people suffering. I now realised that God prepared me for this journey, to go and to share His love.
This amazing privilege to go and share the love of Jesus is something I never thought possible. To go around the world and to be faced with the utmost pain in the world. But in this, feeling a little bit of God’s heart for His people, I also realised that this journey is another step towards the dream that God has planted in my heart. My dream is to build a safe place for orphans where the children can be cared for and given a sense of being and love. In this vision I want to equip children to go out into the world and be able to look after themselves and also know that God made them for His glory and that each one is special.
I hope in following our footsteps and my own journey, you will see God doing the impossible, making people free, giving hope and life, and seeing the wonders of our Almighty Father, Our Savoir Jesus and Comforter Holy Spirit.
Thank you for all your support and prayers.
With Lots of Love
