Friends, Family, Colleagues,
It has been a while since I have updated this blog, and I sincerely apologize for that.
But it is my pleasure to announce to you that as I am typing this today, I am typing this as a MARRIED man!
During the month of December I had a few days of leave from work which was mainly spent on catching up with my studies for my BTh degree, since I can only study part time through the rest of the year. But fortunately I also had some time for quality time with family and friends. And off course, Maryke and I had a marriage that needed to be arranged!
The month of January feels a bit like a blur... Work kicked off at quite a rapid pace. Mainly because of extreme preparation and planning for our Youth Ministry in 2014. One of the weekends in January I took my whole Leadership Team away for the weekend for vision casting, strategic planning etc. (I will share more on this at the end of this post). Also in the mix was my bachelors which included a whole day of intense cricket (and some eggs being thrown at me...thanks guys...)!
And then came the big day! 1 February 2014. The day I got married to my lovely, beautiful... wife! Yes I said it, my WIFE! Maryke Pretorius.
After the wedding we went to Zanzibar for a week for our honeymoon. What a blessing it was!
To end off, I will post a photo of Maryke and I at our wedding, then a photo of us at Zanzibar and a photo of my Youth Ministry Leadership Team 2014 and finally I will end off by posting a small chunk of what we as the Youth Ministry Leadership Team are trusting for, for this year.
The final image is my Youth Ministry Leadership Team on our Strategic Planning Break-Away Weekend.
The plan is simple... Myself and Marielle (the lady on the far left) will be discipling the team and raising them as leaders, who in turn will disciple and raise up the youth (teenagers) as strong leaders who will then do the same with their friends in their schools...

We will be making disciples, raising leaders, and ultimately planting churches!
WE see a transformed city filled with God-honoring disciples, impacting nations!
