MXP 2007 was vir my ’n lewensveranderende jaar gewees! Ek is so dankbaar teenoor God vir wat hy in my en ook deur my kom doen het. Aan die begin het ek geen idée gehad wie ek is en ook nie wat ek hier doen nie. Alles wat hier gedoen was, was so net nie ek gewees nie. Tog het God ’n ander prentjie van my gesien en stadig maar seker het Hy die gebroke beeld wat ek van myself gehad het kom herstel. Dit was amper nooit ’n maklike jaar gewees nie, maar uit en uit die moeite werd! Ek dink nie daar is ’n lekkerder gevoel as om te sien hoe God iemand se hart aanraak en red of genesing bring nie. Om daar te sit en te weet dat God my gebruik het, dat Hy my waardig gevind het om my te gebruik. Skielik tref die wete my... Our God is an awesome God!

If I look at last year I just realize how God has provided for me. It has been a life changing experience for me, and I am glad that God has called me into ministry. Before I came to service year I had no vision, no purpose and no courage to do what God has called me to do. Its been a rocky road, but I am blessed to say that I am still in MXP. God has shown me His heart for people and I have learnt so much through that.

There has been so many challenges that I had to face and deal with, but the blessing of doing it is so worth it. My motto for 2008 is Philippians 4:13 which says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” I know that God has given me the power to stand strong in what I do and believe.

So far it gas been and still is something that God has engraved on my heart, and I love it! God is good!
