UITGAWE: 2

What is it to cross a border? Is it getting into your car or plane and leaving your town, province or country? Is it to or help someone

you normally wouldn't? Is it a thought that makes you go into a direction that could change your whole

life? Is it a bad habit that you are trying to overcome? Everything in life has borders... it’s our

willingness to trust God and cross them, that makes us grow spiritually and emotionally.

During this journey that Crystal and I have been on, we had to cross quit a few borders. Ironically every

type of border except the one we thought we had to cross. God has been really faithful and has opened

our eyes to so many new and challenging things along the way, that we cannot see it any other way

than God taking us on a journey to find ourselves and to show us a world that we did not know existed. We have experienced first hand on how a missionary feels when preparing to go into the missions

field. We know what it's like to be forgotten when on the field; what it feels like to know that at the end of

the month there is no money and yet still believing for a miracle; what it is to desperately need the

people of your churches' support - be it emotionally, financially, or the most important of all, Prayer, and

being disappointed time and again. Our experience, coming back from training, was that most have no idea what missions is all

about - responses like "Did you have a nice holiday" were heard often. Then there were the few, that kept in touch, supported

financially, prayed and invested in us emotionally as well. This fact is so true in the life of a missionary. It is not the rich that

support you financially, but the person you expected the least. It's not the people you know that will sometimes invest emotionally

into you, it's the quiet person in the back that always has you in their prayers.This journey might have started out as an ideal or "great idea", but it ended up as a life changing journey.

Recently we were blessed with a little girl, Jemimah Faith Young. This marks the beginning of a new journey

and new borders to be crossed. For now Crystal, Jemimah and myself will stay in South Africa. The main

reason for not going, is because God did not allow the necessary funds to be there. Crystal and I will be more

involved in missions in our church for now. If you have a heart for souls and feel that you would like to get

involved, we urge you to support the various ministries within Light & Life. A list of these ministries will be

published soon. If you have supported the Crossing Borders ministry rest assure that your contribution has

made a difference! We just want to say thank you and believe that you will be blessed beyond and above what

you can imagine.

We have come to the conclusion that when God puts something on your life path, it rarely is about the destination, but about the

journey, the crossing of a border - that one leap of faith. Where do you find yourself today? Did you get so obsessed with where

you are heading and where you need to be, that you have forgotten to see what God has been showing you now? I pray that you

will trust in Him and cross that border!

Beroep: Kunstenaar, Musikant,

Worship Leier

ierdie maand doen ek bietjie ondersoek in die Hlewe van ons Worship Leieers, Triveno en Alecia.

Ek het die volgende paar vra vir hulle gevra.

Alecia hoe het jy jou hart vir die Here gegee?

Ek het groot geword in ‘n Christen huis, maar ek het

nooit ‘n verhouding met God gehad nie en net kerk

toe gegaan omdat ek vorseer was. Ek het in 2000 my

hart opreg vir God gegee terwyl ek ‘n boek van Louis

Malherbe gelees het. Ek het my liefde vir musiek in

Graad 12 ontdek en van toe af was ek betrokke by

die musiek bediening in ons vorige kerk.

Triveno hoe het jy jou hart vir die Here gegee?

Ek het as Rooms Katoliek groot geword en as kind wou

ek graag ‘n Priester geword het. Die Here het ander

planne met my lewe gehad. In 1991 het ek my hart vir

die Here gegee terwyl ek en my suster ‘n Baptiste kerk

gaan besoek het. Ek het in 1995 geleer kitaar speel en

‘n groot liefde vir musiek ontdek. Van daardie tyd was

ek betrokke by musiek bedieninge.

IN LIEFDEVOLLE HERINNERINGAAN

BETTIE MINNAARELIZABETH SOPHIA MINNAAR

03 April 1956 - 15 Februarie 2011

Op Dinsdag 15 Februarie 2011 het Bettie stil na haar ewige tuiste in Heerlikheid vertrek. Ons sal haar mis, maar gun haar die vreugde om in algehele gesondheid en met ‘n nuwe liggaam te lewe in die

teenwoordigheid van haar Hemelse Vader vir wie sy baie lief was.

In Maart 2003 het God ‘n afspraak met Bettie en haar seun Riaan gehad toe hulle vir God ontmoet het hier by die Lig&Lewe. ‘n Maand daarna is hul albei voorgestel en gedoop.

“Daardie aand na die doop het ek geweet ek is nie meer die ‘ou’ Bettie nie.” (Bettie se eie woorde ‘n week voor haar dood) Rom 12:17 was haar gunsteling vers

Bettie word oorleef deur haar seun, Riaan. Ons gebede en gedagtes gaan ook uit na hom.

Week 1 “Want waar julle skat is, daar sal julle hart ook wees.”Matt. 6v21

Gal. 2v20: “Ek is met Christus gekruisig, en ék leef nie meer nie, maar Christus leef in my. En wat ek nou in die vlees lewe, leef ek deur die geloof in die Seun van God wat my liefgehad het en Homself vir my oorgegee het.”

Jer. 4v3 NIV: “Plow up the hard ground of your hearts! Do not waste your good seed among thorns.” “O people of Judah and Jerusalem, surrender your pride and power. Change your hearts before the Lord, or my anger will burn like an unquenchable fire because of all your sins.”

Jesus Christus is die krag van God en dit beteken dat Hy die volkome barmhartigheid en liefde vir ons is. Daarom moet ons ook volkome barmhartigheid en liefde uitleef.

Ons word vermaan om Heilig te wees! Jesus Christus moet binne-in ons hart wees. Ons moet toelaat dat ons harte verander word, sodat die Gees van Jesus Christus in ons harte deur ons dade verheerlik kan word en manifesteer in ons lewens.

1 Pet. 1. Ons Vader is ernstig oor die Heiligmakingsproses. Die stap tot Heiligmaking is om reiniging te laat plaasvind/na te volg. 'n Ewigdurende proses wat net deur geloof kan plaasvind. Jesus het gesê: “Gaan en sondig nie meer nie!”

1 Pet. 1v22: “As julle in gehoorsaamheid aan die waarheid julle siele deur die Gees tot ongeveinsde broederliefde gereinig het, moet julle mekaar vurig liefhê uit 'n rein hart” …………

Christus, ons voorbeeld & die beeld waarna almal geskape is, die ultimate bewys, sonder gebrek en vlekkeloos. Wees soos Christus. Wat is ons motiewe?

Voorbeelde van heiligmaking as 'n aktiewe proses:

a. Strek uit na wat voor is. (Fil. 3:14);b. Stry die goeie Stryd. (1 Tim. 6:12);c. Hardloop om die prys te behaal. (Fil. 3:14);d. Lê dan af. (1 Pet 2:1);e. Word daders van die Woord. (Jak. 1:22);f. Lê die leuen af en spreek die waarheid. (Ef. 4:25);g. Oorwin die kwaad deur die goeie. (Rom. 12:21);h. Jaag die vrede na met almal, en die heiligmaking waarsonder niemand die Here sal sien nie. (Heb. 12:14);i. Respekteer God se bevel om heilig te wees soos wat Hy heilig is

(1 Pet. 3:16).

Sonde word in die hedendaagse lewe so makilik, lekker, mooi, aanloklik & idillies aan ons opgedis. Gou kan ons in 'n valstrik/lokval gelei word. Maar met 'n hart wat reinheid nastreef en 'n gewillige dienaar maak die Heilige Gees dit vir ons altyd moontlik om die aardse/wêreldse dinge wat lei na sonde, tee te staan. Liefde oorheers alles! Dit lei weer terug na die hart. Waarvan is ons hart vol vandag?

Rom. 12v8: “Wees aan niemand iets skuldig nie, behalwe om mekaar lief te hê; want hy wat 'n ander liefhet, het die wet vervul.”

Week 3

Week 4

Week 2The greatest demand is to obey.

This shows the importance of living in the Spirit.~ Anon ~

Gehoorsaamheid is seker een van die eerste opdragte van God aan sy kinders. Adam in die tuin van eden ….. (Gen. 2v16)

Wees gehoorsaam! Luister…, hoor…, gee ag…, kom na…, hierdie almal wat ook werkwoorde is net soos liefde. Die een nie sonder die ander een nie.

Rom 16v19: “Want julle gehoorsaamheid het algemeen bekend geword. Daarom verbly ek my oor julle, en ek wens dat julle wys mag wees teenoor wat goed is, maar onskuldig teenoor wat sleg is.”

Ons is geskape om te heers. God se heerskappy vereis dissipels. Heerskappy verg gehoorsaamheid. Gehoorsaamheid bring reinheid.Leer gehoorsaam, verwag gehoorsaamheid.

Jak. 3v16-17 AOV: Want waar afguns en selfsug is, daar is wanorde en allerhande gemene dade. Maar die wysheid van bo is ten eerste rein, dan vredeliewend, vriendelik, geseglik, vol barmhartigheid en goeie vrugte, onpartydig en ongeveins.

Heerskappy verg gehoorsaamheid. Eer ons God werklik deur gehoorsaamheid, en ons onderwerping aan Hom, en persone wat Hy oor ons aangestel het? Hoe tree ons op in situasies, watter karaktereienskappe bring ons voort. Kan hierdie gelykgestel word aan God se karakter?Uit eerbied vir God, moet ons waardig optree. Is hierdie nie deel van die ewigdurende proses van reinigmaking nie?

Ons lewe is 'n oop brief. Mense lees dit en word beinvloed.Ons kan God se ambassadeurs wees in 'n sondige wêreld.

Reinheid is 'n hartsaak. Die Woord van God verander die hart in reinheid.

1Ko 5v8: Laat ons dan feesvier, nie met die ou suurdeeg of met die suurdeeg van ondeug en boosheid nie, maar met die ongesuurde brode van reinheid en waarheid.

Die ongesuurde brode van reinheid soos hierbo verwys na die reinheid en skoonheid van Jesus Christus. Die volkome offer aan die kruis vir ons sondes. Die waarheid verwys na die reinheid van die Woord van God.

As kinders van die Allerhoogste is dit noodsaaklik om daagliks tyd met die Woord te spandeer om in 'n dieper vlak van reinheid tot God te groei. Vra die Heilige Gees om die Woord te ontsluit tot versagting van die hart.

Es. 36v26: En Ek sal julle 'n nuwe hart gee en 'n nuwe gees in jul binneste gee; en Ek sal die hart van klip uit julle vlees wegneem en julle 'n hart van vlees gee.

Week 3Week 3

Spr. 2v11 - Hy wat reinheid van hart liefhet, wie se lippe aangenaam is—die Koning is sy vriend.

Hoe leef ons Reinheid?

1. Laat toe dat die Heilige Gees nou ons harte verander, sodat Jesus Christus in Sy reinheid deur ons kan leef.2. Draai weg van sonde, maak 'n ommekeer in die lewe.3. Wees gehoorsaam.4. Pas die beginsels, wat die Woord van God is, fisies toe in ons lewe.5. Spandeer soveel as moontlik tyd in die Woord.6. Gebed.7. Gaan gereeld kerk toe en woon onderlinge byeenkomste by. (hoekom? Daar waar 2 of meer vergader in My Naam is Ek teenwoordig. Ons

kan leer bymekaar as mede-gelowiges asook ondersteuning)8. Lofprysing en aanbidding.9. Getuig wat God vir ons doen.10. Wees dissipelmakers, in opdrag.11. Laat ons lig skyn in die donkerte!!

Week 3Week 4

Retha Marais

We all have our own perspective and views when it comes to missions, (some more uninformed than others) but none of us can deny that we as children of God who call ourselves sons and daughters of the most high all share a common responsibility to share the good news with others no matter where we might find ourselves, whether it be at school, at the mall, at work or at church (especially at church!!).

Some think that one needs to go study or do a ten day course to become a missionary, or like most Westerners I have come across who have the idea that coming to Africa will make of them a missionary and get the shock of their life to find out that we are not that undeveloped as the world portrays! But to get to my point, the Biblical truth is that when we come to know God and when we become adopted in His family and receive salvation through Christ we AUTOMATICALLY become missionaries!! We all receive the mandate given by Christ to go into all the earth and make disciples (Matthew 28).

Yet the sad fact is, that is not what most of us are doing. We all have been put into different fields of ministry, some in another country and others right in their very own home. The point is, we aren't called to be lawyers, doctors, engineers, computer technicians or business consultants, we as children of God are first and foremost called to be missionaries! Now some of you might stop me and say “hang on, are you saying that we all are to go into the deepest part of the Amazon and live off slugs and gill weed?” No that is not what I am saying. What I am trying to

get across is that sometimes children of God chase and pursue their own selfish dreams and make that their number one priority instead of making God's will number one priority. Yes it's okay to be a lawyer or a doctor, God is the one who chooses to bless us with these careers but it is not your REAL job!! Your earthly career is just a cover for your TRUE job!! Get it??

Think of Charlie's Angels or James Bond. One moment they would be trained lawyers and the next they would be professional musicians, but those Jobs were just a cover to accomplish their true mission whatever it may be. It is the same with us. Wherever we find ourselves…. that is the mission field. I have heard a lot of Christians complaining about their work situations, I was one of them!! But we need to stop and ask ourselves that maybe God wants to use us to lead these people to Him or minister to them with our lives and our actions. You don't light a lamp and hide it underneath a bucket, remember? We are the light and we have a responsibility to shine it wherever we go, but it is absolutely vital that we always remain plugged into the source: JESUS CHRIST!!!

World missions

When one think of this we normally imagine skinny people in army helmets reaching out to cannibals in Timbuktu. Yet we all have a role to play when it comes to world missions and there are various ways we can get involved.I want to give you a picture of where the world is, in terms of the Gospel. With the

world's population at 7 billion and growing, how many are Christians? How many still needs to hear? Is the task of missions complete? To make this simple I'm going to paint you a virtual picture using ten people.

ChristianAbout 12% of the world's population is Christian meaning that 1 out 10 people are born again, Bible believing, Evangelical Christians.

Nominal ChristianAbout 21% of the world's population is nominal Christians meaning that 2 out of 10 people are people who would call themselves Christian because they go to church regularly or not so often. They say they are Christians, but have no real inward change with Christ dwelling in them. Do we have some of these in our congregation???

Reached non-ChristiansThey represent 40% of the world's population meaning that 4 out of 10 people are reachable; they have heard the Gospel message, but have rejected it and continue to hold to their former religions and beliefs. These are Evangelized non-Christians.

Unreached 27% of the world's population is unreached meaning that 3 out of 10 people have never heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ clearly. They have no missionary or church near them, or no witness for Christ.

Who are unreached?

HINDU- The unreached Hindus are in Northern India and Nepal (the largest Indian settlement outside of India is in Durban, South Africa in an area founded by Gandhi called Phoenix). They believe in 330 million gods. Everyone selects a few gods whom they worship specifically (Jesus is also one of these gods). They often have a god shelf in the home with idols of these gods or pictures of them to who they offer food, burn incense, and pray to.

Keeping light lit at the altar is important to them. Hindus believe they have to work their way to a better life by being a good person in this life. The process of life, birth and rebirth is called reincarnation. The ultimate goal or “man's highest ideal” is to get out of the cycle of reincarnation and into the “heavenly” state of Nirvana. It is very hard for a Hindu to accept that there is only one way to God, because you are born a Hindu or whatever religion you are.

They see themselves as embracing all religions and believe that ultimately there are many ways to get to God. “Many paths lead to the top of the mountain, all rivers flow to the ocean”, as they say. This religion is the basis of New Age philosophy.

MISSIONS!!

7

MUSLIM:They believe in one god, Allah and his prophet, Mohammed. They say

Jesus was a great teacher and a prophet too but not as great as Mohammed. They also say Jesus is not the son of God. Islam is a

religion of works. They believe that if your good deeds outweigh your bad you will enter paradise. The Bible says that we are not saved by

works but by grace. Islam is the fastest growing religion outside of Christianity.

Allah is believed to be an all-supreme and distant god who is really unknowable and impersonal. They believe in some of the Old

Testament prophets we know from the Bible. They accept the first 5 books of the Old testament (the books of Moses), also the Psalms of

David and in the New testament the Gospels of Jesus as holy books and the Last testament being the Koran (Quran), their main

scripture, is often memorized in Arabic- the Holy Language. Many Muslims do not accept the Bible believing that it has been changed

and thus corrupted by Christians in the translating.

Islam is a legalistic religion of law and works with no assurance of real forgiveness or Salvation. There are five “pillars of Islam”:

- Citing the creed of Islam- Routine prayers diligently said 5 times a day- Giving 2% of earnings to the poor or to build Mosques - The yearly month of fasting- Ramadan- during daylight hours- Going on a pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in your lifetime

Muslims are very committed to seeing their religion take over the whole world and they are aggressively busy with that through “Jihad” (Holy

war), which is stated in the Koran as part of their religion. They believe you are born a Muslim and to leave that religion can mean death to

allegedly save the person's soul.

BUDDHIST:The Buddhist religion places high value on the quiet, meditative life of

monk hood. Most boys and some girls as well, will spend time in a Buddhist monastery. Shaving their heads and renouncing all they have

for a period of time, or some, for a lifetime.

They own just 2 robes and a begging bowl to go into the community to collect food each day. They basis of the religion is emptiness of the

human condition. Suffering is the basic human condition, by suffering they pay for past wrongs. Meditation is a means of emptying oneself

and a thought of heaven is equal to not being selfless and empty oneself. They also strive to break out of reincarnation into a perfect

“nothingness”.

They often pray to an idol form of Buddha and offer offerings of food and incense. This is often done with ancestor type worship to the

spirits of the dead. There is no evidence of great movements towards Christianity in the Buddhist world. They follow the teachings of

Buddha and “noble truths”. These unreached people live in places like Myanmar(Burma), Thailand, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Japan, Taiwan,

Laos, Vietnam, Macao, China, Mongolia, Tibet or Bhutan in Asia.

CHINESE: They form the largest populated country in the world where many of the

unreached are. There is a great growth in the underground house church movement, but also great persecution.

So now you may be asking “now what can I do”, or at least I'm praying that the thought is crossing your mind because you CAN get involved and our Father WANTS you to get involved and experience the joy of leading someone to God or enabling somebody else to do so, so here's what you can do:

1)Befriend a missionary. Make contact and develop friendships with people who are out and about on the mission field. It tends to get

lonely and it is always good to know that there is someone praying for you. Maintain contact and respond regularly. I remember the

encouragement I get when someone phones or e-mails just to say hi and that they are praying for me, it just lifted my spirit so much

knowing that I truly am not alone.

2) Pray for missions. Be consistent in this. Keep yourself updated on what is going on around the world and mobilize

people to do the same. Know what to pray for and be alert for answers. Start a regular prayer meeting with fellow believers and

pray for the nations. I have experienced this out on the field when things were really at an all time low how God would miraculously

intervene in a situation because of people praying. Prayer is like a jet plane during war and the most valuable contribution you can

make.

3) Give to missions. Ask God how much He wants you to sow. Missionaries don't get paid for what they do and have to rely

on the support of fellow believers to get by. In the end it is not for self-benefit but for the Kingdom of God and this is a way you can

become a part of that. We as believers have an obligation to support each other just like the first century church in Acts did.

Why do you think God chooses to bless some believers with high paying jobs, thought it was for themselves? We are to ask God

where we are to sow and be alert for opportunities to sow and to do so regularly. Even missionaries have an obligation to sow. What

we sow is what we reap and God will see your heart and bless you for that.

4) And then of course you can go. Some of us God do call into full time ministry abroad. It is normally a scary thought. One

always has to make a lot of sacrifices, give up a good paying job, and give up not being able to see your friends and family for long

periods of time, being uncertain of the future and having to rely on other people for support. But you know what; if God has planned

it for you and you step into His will, killing your own and accepting His there is absolutely NOTHING that will hinder you. Yes Satan

will always try but God is always faithful to His promises. I have come to experience that the hard way. I have found though that

reaching out to the lost, the less fortunate and ministering to people from different cultures, backgrounds and religions is the

most fulfilling 'job' ever. Why? It is what God has made me for. If God specifically designed you for something (which He did) then

you will experience tremendous joy when you surrender your own will and step into His which is an extremely difficult process to go

through. But God knows best and you will always be okay as long as you allow Him to be in control.

Matthew 24:14- And this gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to ALL NATIONS, and then the

end will come.

The Job is not complete yet and until the Lord returns we need to be busy about God's plan for building His kingdom in all nations.

What part does God want you to play? Are you involved already in bringing the Good News of the Kingdom to all nations? If

not…then ask God what He wants you to do.In the end, God's plan for the nations will succeed whether we

choose to be used by him in it or not. The Bible says that if we won't proclaim the Gospel God will command the rocks to do so, but

truth is God WANTS to use us in His great plan. He wants us to share in His joy and in His kingdom of which we are stewards of.

And revelation the apostle John is taken up to heaven and he sees people from EVERY tribe and EVERY tongue from EVERY

NATION! So it is going to happen!

Now my question is, do you want to be a part of that?? Do you want to enter heaven one day and have people you don't even know

come up to you to thank you for your contribution you had in their lives by supporting a missionary, or better yet who YOU led to the

Lord?? You have no excuse NOT to be a missionary, I am challenging you to go out and be the light, wherever you go, just

be the Light. HIS light! Reflecting His glory so that others might come to know the Love of God and the fullness there is in a

relationship with Him. And you are able to do this, why?

Because YOU are a missionary

The State of the Youth Address

Die tiener sel het onlangs ‘n stel doelwitte vir hulself gestel onder drie afdelings: Geestelik, Sosiaal, Gemeenskap.

Geestelik was dit duidelik dat almal meer tyd met God wil spandeer, hulle Bybel kennis wil vergroot, en dan die kop kennis hart kennis wil maak.

Sosiaal wil hulle vir mekaar meer beteken, meer respek hê, en meer leer van mekaar.

Gemeenskap wil hulle meer doen om hulle geloof en liefde vir God te wys. Uitruikings na armes en bejaardes. Hulle het alreeds een aand gaan prayer walking doen.

We don’t see the

things the way they

are. We see things

the way WE are.

In die lewe het ons te doen met branding. Groot

maatskappye word gebou op betroubare branding.

Vir ‘n brand om betroubaar te wees moet dit doen

wat dit belowe het, dit moet integriteit hê.

Sê nou maar jy sien ‘n verpakking wat lyk of dit

waarde vir geld is en jy koop dit. Wanneer jy by die

huis kom doen dit glad nie wat dit belowe het om te

doen nie. Jy sal baie ongelukkig wees en nie sommer

weer daardie brand se produkte koop nie.

Dit is nie net produkte wat gebrand word nie. Ons

word van geboorte tot dood gebrand. As jy gebore

word het jy ‘n tag om jou voet met die familie naam.

Onthou jy op skool uitstapies, was ons gesê ons moet

ons gedra want ons verteenwoordig die skool. Jy was

getag as leerder van die skool, later as student en toe

in jou beroep.

Deur ons lewe dra ons hierdie tags sodat mense kan

weet wat om van ons te verwag.

Wanneer jy ‘n Christen word het jy skielik ‘n klomp

nuwe tags. Baie van hulle is cool soos, “mede

erfgenaam saam met Christus” en “ ‘n kind van die

Allerhoogste”.

Elkeen van ons is verkillende produkte maar kom van

dieselfde Maker. Ons is gebrand met Christus en

verteenwoordig hom op die aarde. Met dieselfde

Maker moet ons sekere eienskappe deel, en ons

brand moet integriteit hê.

Agter op ‘n produk se

verpakking is daar altyd

beloftes oor die produk.

Watter beloftes kan Christus

maak oor jou en die

integriteit van sy “brand”.

Ons is Ambassadeurs van Christus in dit wat ons sê en

doen. Ons het integritiet nodig vir ons eie onthalwe

maar ook omdat ons miskien die enigste

verteenwoordiging van Jesus sal wees wat baie

mense sal sien. Dit beteken ons moet betroubaar

wees in wat ons sê en doen. Wanneer ons sê ons

gaan iets doen, of nie iets doen nie, moet ons dit eer!

Die Lig en Lewe Sentrum is deur God geroep om deur opleiding die Lig van

God se Woord teversprei en deur restourasie die Lewe

van Christus te leef sodat ons ‘n verskil kan maak in

die areas waar ons daagliks beweeg. Verder is ons in selle betrokke om

mekaar te bedienen om uit te reik na hulle wat nog buite

die Koninkryk van Jesus Christus staan. Ons strewe

om ‘n intieme verhouding met God te hê deurdat ons ten volle leef en optree

soos ons Hemelse vader van ons verwag.
