6 MMC in die Bosveld • Dia van Staden “Mighty Men In die Bosveld 2012” word D.V. vanjaar vir die tweede keer in Limpopo op die plaas, Snymansdrift, aangebied. Die “Mighty Men”-byeenkoms het in 2010 vir die laaste keer in sy oorspronklike formaat in KwaZulu Natal op die plaas, Shalom, plaasgevind. Angus Buchan, het verlede jaar die uitnodiging aan manne gerig om die boodskap van hoop na alle hoeke van Suid-Afrika te neem. Francois Brits en sy komitee het die daad by die woord gevoeg en so het MMC in die Bosveld sy oorsprong in Limpopo gekry. Mans uit verskillende kulturele agtergronde, ras en taal staan getrou elke jaar ’n paar dae af om saam te bid en hulself voor die Here te verootmoedig. Snymansdrift het baie plek vir kampeerders en daar word met trots teruggekyk op 2011 se aanbieding toe baie komplimente vir die fasiliteite op die plaas uitgedeel is. Die doel van die “Mighty Men” In die Bosveld- byeenkoms is om mans die geleentheid te bied om hul lewens sodanig te verander dat hulle in ’n dieper verhouding met God tree. Die organiseerders is van mening dat die verandering geestelik en fisies moet manifesteer om gemeenskappe positief te beïnvloed wanneer hul manlike leiers hul geestelike eienskappe versterk deur dit te LEEF. Die byeenkoms vind D.V. vanaf 9 tot 11 Maart 2012 op die plaas, Snymansdrift, net 18 km buite Polokwane, op die Mokopane-pad, plaas. Angus Buchan sal self as een van die hoofsprekers by die geleentheid optree. Kaartjies vir die “Mighty Men” In die Bosveld- byeenkoms is by Computicket beskikbaar.

Life is a journey. Life is full of risks. Even staying at home is a risk and there is no guarantee of safety. We can suffer from illness, accidents, crime and natural disasters. When we go on a journey, we need to know very clearly the purpose of the journey, the destination, and how to get there. We need to be sure that the journey is worth the cost. And we need to know how to get home again. The journey of life is not a choice; we embark on it at birth. But when we reach the age of discretion, There is a price to pay • Shirley Woolley What is giving pleasure to your flesh and is keeping you from drawing closer to Jesus, the Lover of your soul? That which is drawing you away from God is the very thing you need to put on the altar of sacrifice. Yes, Jesus did come so that you might have life and have it more abundantly. (John 10:10). What is more wonderful than to be overflowing with His love, His joy and drinking from God’s river of delight and to be saturated with His presence? The greatest joy does not come from material blessings God can give you. It is when you are face down and your spirit touches His Spirit. Only then will you know the source of all power. No matter how the winds might blow and the storms rage in your life. By God’s strength you will rise above it and you will be like a tree planted by the water that will yield fruit on the right time as your roots go down deep in the soil of His love. As you yield to God’s will, joy and peace will flood your soul that no one will be able to take away from you. Verteenwoordiger/Representative Porsa Jacobs 084 721 1069 we have major choices, and we need wisdom and help. Jesus said, ‘I am the way, the truth and the life.’ (John 14.6). The greatest wisdom is to trust Him, put our faith in Him, worship and obey Him. And He will accompany us and guide us by the Holy Spirit every step of the way. And when we come to the final destination, we will find that He has gone ahead, and prepared a place for us. And for all its dangers, all the problems along the way, the journey of life is a wonderful adventure. Thanks be to God our Father for the privilege of life. Contact David at polo.dave@ yahoo.com or on 083 299 3388. However, all of this does not come cheap. There is a price to pay. “No pain, no gain.” The more we die the closer God can come. Jesus’ blood was shed to make this possible. If only we can remember that nothing good can come from our flesh. It must be put to death. Just as all flesh will die in His Glory, so that which is of the Spirit will live forever in His glory. Hallelujah! When the fire come the only thing that will burn away is the flesh. It is my desire to go as deep as possible with Christ in this life, but maybe you are saying this is not for you, yet I pray that as you read these words God will stir up a hunger in your soul. That hunger is an escort into God’s presence. Pray with me: “Lord, I need You my God, touch my eyes, touch my ears, captivate my heart and make me willing to yield completely to you. Put to death everything in me that is not from you and change me from the inside out. There is one thing, above all else, I am longing for, it is not the blessings or gifts. It is yourself. Amen.” Contact Shirley Woolley on 082 895 9885.

Fotos: Juanita van Wyk Mavericks defeated in court In answer to prayer, on 3 February High Court Judge Siraj Desai, dismissed, with costs, an urgent application by Mavericks to stop the Department of Home Affairs terminating its corporate permits. This means Mavericks may no longer apply for corporate work permits or “employ” foreign women. In December last year, several anti-trafficking organisations, including Christian Action and concerned Christians demonstrated and prayed outside the Mavericks strip-joint in Cape Town. (See article in the Dec/Jan issue of The Vessel) Like most other so-called strip clubs, it is suspected that Mavericks traffics foreign women into South Africa, mostly from Eastern Europe, for the purposes of sexual exploitation, under the guise of “exotic dancers”. The women are usually deceptively recruited and once in South Africa, their passports are removed, effectively trapping them in the country. Not being able to speak English, black mailed and with no job skills, they are forced into a life of sexual slavery. In his ruling, Judge Desai agreed with Home Affairs that Mavericks had violated the regulations of the Immigration Act, and failed to adhere to the conditions specified on the authorisation certificate for the workers. A Home Affairs report to the court said Mavericks regarded its corporate workers as independent contractors, rather than employees. The dancers were required to pay R2 000 a week to “dance”. This was viewed as a violation of the authorisation certificate, which requires an employment contract. This is no doubt why women exploited by Mavericks are expected to resort to prostitution in order to pay this fee. They are also often expected to pay back their flight costs. Judge Desai also dismissed Mavericks’ claim that it would “go broke” if the permits were cancelled. “If regard is given to its income statement, it appears that there is no merit to this submission.” Significantly, the Western Cape High Court ordered the Human Rights Commission to probe their inhumane employment conditions. In the final section of judgment, Judge Desai said there was some concern about the living conditions and arrangement of these so-called “exotic dancers”, which could constitute human trafficking. “Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.” Eph. 5:11.
