YOUTH WEEK - DECEMBER 2000

Saturday 9 December

Children have been arriving through the night and the influx is likely to continue till tomorrow. Some of the children come from very far away. A small group of 12 travelled 3 days from Botswana. Some are arriving from Mpumalanga Province which is about 9 hours or more.

There was rain early this morning and by 9:45am it had begun clearing up. However, the weather report predicts rain for another 3 days.

The morning service was conducted by Waldemar Engelbrecht who is the director of the Kwasizabantu centre near Pretoria. He preached from John 3:1-9. Nobody can enter the Kingdom of God unless he is transformed. Jesus had to teach Nicodemus the less that he had to "be born again." Through the Holy Spirit everything is changed in a person's life.
Alpheus Mdlalose then exhorted the young people to make use of the opportunity for it is still the time of grace and "your case is not a hopeless one" for, "there is a way" through Christ.

The afternoon service was a time for testimonies.

The evening service was taken by Erlo Stegen who spoke about the young prophet who was deceived by the older prophet (1 Kings 13). He emphasised the importance of staying on God's way till the end and not to allow others to sidetrack you.
