Job Vorster's NEWS from the CAPE
Greetings from
Muizenberg. The July Living Loved DTS is going excellent. We are into our 6th
week of lectures. In the last month many things have happened. My paradigms
about God
has been broken
constantly. Which is excellent!
Students and Staff
Getting to know the
students has been a very fun experience. This last month of living together,
eating together and worshiping together has started feeling familiar. I really
admire my fellow students. They all bring a unique creation of God to the school.
We are getting along excellently. It is almost surprising that we have had no
major quarrels. I am very thankful for that.
The Staff are
really doing an excellent job. David and Carol, the school leaders, are
examples of living a life aware of the love of Christ. Sharon is a loving
motherly figure who is a real example of being a servant leader. Sonia is a
dancer from Fiji/Australia who has been a missionary for 7 years now. She is
teaching us about performing arts for the purposes of performing on the Namibia
outreach. Zuko was a student in the previous DTS who is now staffing this DTS.
He is a servant in his local church. He lives on base with us and is a good
friend.
God really blessed
us with excellent students and staff. People eagerly seeking God’s heart.
Lectures
The lectures are
top quality. Each lecture session is of extreme worth. The past month have been
edifying and educational. It is an honour to be taught by these experienced
individuals. The lectures are much more than just head knowledge. They really
challenge us to the core of our being and relationship with Jesus. Some of the
topics deal about things I have never heard before.
Here is a short
description of the weeks so far :
• Week 3 :
Reconciliation (Wilson Goeda)
The week was about
forgiveness and reconciliation. Wilson was the regional leader of YWAM South
Africa for a time. He shared his story of the (horrible)injustices he
experienced in apartheid because of his race. His story about how God led him
to forgive white people and to love everyone was miraculous.
• Week 4: Life as a
Worship Experience (Tanya Stanfield)
This was a very
interesting week. It was about experiencing and worshiping God in the everyday experiences.
She taught us methods that help us focus on God on different experiences. She
also taught us that prayer is much more than singing and praying. We worship
God in every single act we do.
• Week 5: Nature
and Character of God (James Lunn)
The theme is self
explanatory. We explored the trinity. James showed us in scripture how Jesus was
100% human. We acknowledge his divinity. But some of us think Jesus was
different to us.
He lived a very
human life. Jesus was in constant connected to the father. James also showed us
that we can also be connected to God as Jesus did because of the cross (John
14-17)
Week 6 is about the
Father Heart of God (David Froneman) is still in progress. We are learning how
much God cares about us as a Father.

September 10/11’th
we are leaving to Namibia. Everything is going well with the preparations.We
are praying about the precise destinations. Our potential destinations:
Personally
Personally it is
going excellent with me. In week 3 I was extremely emotional and God cleaned a lot
of my inner pain. After week 4 I felt peace that I did not feel in a long time.
The lectures and the staff have really helped me to see more of the inheritance
God has given us through Christ. I have also grown to a greater knowledge of
the fact that what we do does not make God love us more or
less. (Which I
believed subconsciously but I did not know it). God’s love for us has become a greater
reality to me. My worldview has been shaken. Praise God for that!! (I also
climbed my first mountain!!)
Prayer Points
• Safety and health
of students and staff
• Money for the
outreach
• Most of all that
we will grow in knowledge of the love of Christ for all of us and all people
