• Lord of the future
Easter 2005 "Why are you looking among the dead for one who is alive? He is not here; He is risen." Luke 24:5-6
In South Africa alone 91,400 copies of the prayer booklet are distributed. Add the number of booklets distributed around the world and you have a lot of people praying. What of all the great astrologers, psychics, etc. who say they are able to predict the future? How many of them, at the start of 2004, predicted the seaquake? Iindaba has not been able to find one! Picture: A time to pray - Ds Ben Fourie, Regional Secretary based in Port Elizabeth, sitting quietly at his desk using the Bible Society's Prayer Booklet while praying at the end of last year.
Wendy Wienand, a member of All Saints’ United Church in Somerset
East, has been involved, with other members of the parish, in the
upliftment of the St Peter's Educare Centre. When Jean told her of
the offer from the Mayor, she quickly contacted one of the AWF
members of the Diocesan Educare Committee, Hazel Braun. Hazel then
wrote to the Mayor who Hazel phoned Iindaba and said, “I managed to set up a meeting with the mayor when he was visiting Port Elizabeth, and asked Unette Jacobs, the Chairman of the Diocesan Educare Centres committee, to join me. While the meeting was taking place, electricity was already being installed in St Paul’s Educare Centre. That’s action for you! The meeting proved exciting and most promising.” The Mayor has asked that a committee be formed to help increase ways and means of working closely together to improve conditions in the Somerset East, Pearston and Cookhouse areas, in caring for, and educating the little ones. Hazel said the Educare Committee will be looking at how they can be involved in helping with this.

Both Eddie and his son, Joshua, bravely handled Legend, although, as Eddie said afterwards, "I was a bit apprehensive, but it was a good experience. Snakes are part of God's creation, and I now have a healthier respect for them." Picture: Ssssnice to ssssmeet you - With Eddie and Joshua in the photo are his wife, Nicky (right) and Sheelagh Francis. Legend is still small, but could grow to as much as six metres in length.

approached Ds Ben Fourie about the miracle of Indonesia having been
the chosen country to pray for on 26 December. Ben said, “God is
very much a God of the future. Our prayer booklet for the following
year is distributed during October and November. This means that the
group who compiled it had met and prayed through the programme early
in the year, which proves that God knew that those areas of Myanmar,
Indonesia, etc. were going to need lots of prayer during that week
last year. He laid it upon the hearts of the editorial staff to make
that area the focus of our prayers at that time last year. Wonderful,
isn’t it?”
expressed
his interest in knowing more about the work of the Educare Committee
saying, “It is our duty and pleasure to help where we can, and
the well-being of our little ones is our responsibility as they grow
up to be tomorrow’s leaders.”
