Somewhere between Cape Town and Plettenberg bay

One of the incredible perks of my ministry is that I often get to participate in corporate functions (such as meetings, strategy sessions, and site visits). This morning I am on a flight in the company jet to Plettenber bay. From there we'll be going to Knysna for Southern Cape site visits and a company function this evening.

Being a minister in the marketplace is quite different from operating in and around a Church building. It presents one with many wonderful opportunities to offer counsel, influence important social and economic decisions, offer pastoral care, and model servant leadership.

My constant prayer is that I would always see this work as ministry - doing everything for the sake of Christ and Christ's Kingdom of mercy, justive, peace and love. I am humbled by this incredible opportunity.

Have a blessed day wherever you are! Never forget you're in the mission field!

As you leave Coronation Ave, there's a sign on the door that reads "you are now entering the MISSION field". The other day someone commented on the sign but had read it as "you are now entering the MINEfield"!! I had a very good chuckle but later on that night I started to wonder.....which was more apt?
Our Refugees left us today. It was sad,they were so uneasy about what awaits them, especially given the Du Noon / Soetwater stories. Philip & Steven have tried to reassure them that we are not "dumping" them. That Harmony Park is run by the Churches and will not be like the other camps. Pray for these people, these children of our God.
