Futhi, Masesi, Zoe, Zeleka, Zuko from Hammersdale South Africa. I will be visiting my friends in Jan 2010. May the Lord Jesus bless this family with hope, strength, encouragement, and safety.

South Africa 2010

Dear Family and Friends,

I will be visiting Heidelberg South Africa in Jan 2010 with Christian Cyber Ministries and Maranatha Crusades. The Van Zyl family run a orphanage in which they take in Street Children. The children are given love, an education, a home, food, and hope for a future. Our team will be teaching, sharing the love of Christ through a puppet ministry, and praying for opportunities to share hope and renewed vision for the plans God has for each of these children.

I will be visiting Natasha Swanepoel, a co-worker in Christ Jesus, and a fellow Life Purpose Coach. We plan to reunion in the " bush " as well as seek the Lord for His plans for future Life Purpose Coaching opportunities.
















Our team will be visiting Baa Baa Shadrack Ntombela and his son Gabriel, wife Margaret, and their three sons. We will be visiting the school for pastors, meeting leaders of Maranatha Crusades, and teaching. I hope to visit Margaret's school and share a message of the need for clear vision through our physical eyes as well as our spiritual eyes.








Our team will also visit an orphanage, on the ranch of Angus Buchan, in Greytown.

Would you join over 200 people world wide who have committed to praying for this mission? Please pray for the kingdom of God to come and for His will to be done in each and everyone of our lives. For Jesus Christ name to be lifted up, and He receive all the glory and honor for it is His work on the cross and resurrection that has made life possible for all of us.













Patty Robinson, whom I am blessed to have as a friend, life coach, prayer intercessor, accountability partner, and one who makes me laugh. Patty with Natasha Swanepoel in Laguna C.A. Sept '09.

What if Jesus Had Never Come

Jesus Christ is the head of the church and we are the body of the church. Jesus established the church while on earth and before He assended into heaven He gave the Great Commission for all who believe in Him to nuture and grow the church.

Here are earthly establishments that have formed because Jesus came:
~Hospitals- before hospitals became a business,this is where people brought the sick and lame.
~Universities- higher learning was established for Christian education.
~Government- the governement is upon the shoulders of the Lord Jesus Christ. Women used to be considered a little higher than a slave, but because Jesus came women are able to vote and hold public office.
~Care facilities- nursing homes, pregnancy centers, rehab centers, hospice care, homeless shelters, counseling centers, and Good Samaritan organizations.
~Commercialism- job formation. Some of which are authors, publishers, printing companies, and retail stores.

The Problem With Dollars and No Sense

People are scared during our economic crisis. They wonder if they will have a job tomorrow, if their 401 K plan will cease to exist, if they can send their children to college, and put food on the table. Here are some financial mistakes to avoid and suggestions how to save money in a no nonsense way. Think of this as a life long mind set of money.
~ Do not fail to give to others even when your wallet is tight. Give and you will receive.
~Do not be controlled with greed by gouging others through raising your prices to high.
~ Don't cosign loans for others.
~Don't receive bribes.
~Do not forget the poor.
~Save money by cutting corners.
~Don't borrow money.
~ Avoid the get rich quick schemes.

Here are some no nonsense ways to save money:
~Pay cash for everything. Most people spend 18% more when using a credit card.
~Toss out your catalogs and stop impulsive buying. No peeking on the internet either.
~Go to a bank that gives free checking.
~Clean it yourself...house, cars, clothing ect.
~Bank any raise or bonus you earn.
~Never pay full price. Shop ahead when there's a good sale. Only buy what you use.
~Look for buy one get one free.
~Clip coupons.
~Use the library.
~Have a garage sale and get rid of what you don't need.

Taking steps to fulfill your dreams

How far will you go to fulfill your dreams???? (A true story) THE LAWN CHAIR MAN Larry Walters went to the local Army surplus store and purchased 45 weather balloons and serveral tanks of helium. He securely strapped the balloons to his sturdy lawn chair and anchored the chair to the bumper of his jeep and inflated the balloons with the helium. Larry packed serveral sandwiches and loaded his pellet gun figuring he could pop a few balloons when it was time to descend. Larry's plan was to lazily float up to the height of about 30 feet above his back yard and come back down in a few hours. Things didn't quite work out that way for Larry. When he cut the cord the lawn chair streaked into the LA sky as if shot from a cannon. He didn't level off at 30 feet, but 16,000 feet. At that height he couldn't risk shooting any of the balloons. So he stayed there drifting, cold, and frightened for more then 14 hours. He found himself in the primary approach corridor of LAX airport. A Pan Am pilot first spotted Larry. He radioed the tower to describe passing a guy in a lawn chair ..with a gun! Radar confirmed the existance of an object floating above the airport. A rescue helicopter ascended to a postion several hundred feet above Larry and lowered a rescue line. Larry snagged the line with which he was hauled back to earth. He was arrested by waiting members of the LAPD for violating LAX airspace.
