There are times when we seek the will of God for our lives and it’s not forthcoming. Some people have waited for years to have their prayers for God to guide them as to what His will for them is. Others again seem to feel that God is not guiding them into His will for […]
It is a long time since I have heard a testimony of what a person’s life was like before coming to faith in Christ. I recall the days when people would share how disgusting their morals were and how Jesus gave them a new morality once they trusted Him for salvation. Some would even share […]
If someone asked you what your nationality is, what would you say? Take me … I mentioned sometime back … both grandfathers came from Scotland, one grandmother’s parents came from Cornwall in England and the other was a Voortrekker descendant. I’m an African.

I spoke a few days ago about us going down to Charleston on South Carolina’s coast because some friends of ours were to dock there on Saturday past. Jenny and I have not seen these friends in a few years. The last was in 2015 when they were with us at Izapa Game Lodge. Our […]
