The Kgosi (Chief) and Christians in New Xanagas want to build a new brick/rock Church on a central plot -

 - the Church will not be linked to any specific denomination - except for "The Kingdom of God".

 

.    they want to know if I support the vision / idea / suggestion?

.    non-officially - I stay Pastor of the Reformed Church in Botswana and my answer is - YES. 

 

Because:

 

.    It is in line with the message of the 'Kingdom of God' and Christ the Hope of Glory. It has been my message all these years.

.    actually - this is a breakthrough that I have been waiting for since 1988 - however I did not know how it would look like when it came

.    the current shade-net Church has surely reached it's goal - it will still function

.    the central plot in the Village makes it reachable for more people - remember they have to walk to Church

.    a family, with strong leaders, have caused a lot of jealousy, will no longer be so prominent in the new Church
.    some probably are shameful of the shade-net Church?

.   the suggestion is to choose a new Church Board for the Church with no name - 'Kingdom Of God', 'Village Church' or 'House of Truth', whatever.

.   they want everyone to be welcome, no matter your denomination

.   this is in line with the Herero Conference that we hold every Sept when people attend from Namibia and Botswana.

.   there are 10 plus men and women in New Xanagas that can preach the Word of God.

.   the plan is also to have bible study courses during the week.

 

.   just the idea that the Bushmen and the community of New Xanagas want to build and grow there own Church, makes me excited.

.   the pressure on me, as Missionary, "to make it work" are off - the ball is in there hands. They except ownership.

.   time will tell what God's plans are for the Church. "Father - Thy Will be done".

 

.   Martin is back. We work well together. Will show the people how to work together and to grow strong in Christ our Lord.

.   If you want 'WATER' to flow to help with the building of the Church - please mark it 'NEW CHURCH'.

.   the wonderful thing is that I will be absent from New Xanagas for +- 90 days - looking after Dina, cooking, nursing, bed-pan, clean the house, garden, feeding the cat and everything else. Men - appreciate your wife's. The work is not hard - only continuous. I am learning allot. Dina is walking slowly with the crutches, no pain if she does not move to fast or wrongly, I am back and leg masseur as well. Going well - Thank You Father. 

 

Many Blessings for You and Me - in Christ our Lord.

Die Kgosi en Christene van New Xanagas wil 'n nuwe baksteen kerk op 'n sentrale erf bou ........

     

     Die Kgosi (Hoofman) en Christene van New Xanagas wil 'n nuwe baksteen kerk op 'n sentrale erf bou - wat nie verbind is aan enige kerk denominasie nie.   

• hulle wil weet of ek die visie / gedagte / voorstel steun?  
  
• nie - amptelik - ek bly pastor van The Reformed Church in Botswana is my antwoord - JA.         Omdat:
• dit in lyn is met die boodskap van die Koninkryk van God en Christus the Hope of Glory.   Dis basies my boodskap deur die jare.
• trouens - dis 'n deurbraak waarvoor ek sedert 1988 wag - ek het net nie geweet hoe dit gaan lyk as dit kom nie.
  
• die huidige skadunet kerk het seker sy doel gedien - sal nog funksioneer.
• die sentrale erf maak dit meer binne die bereik van al die mense - onthou hulle loop kerk toe.
• 'n familie, met sterk leiers, wat baie jaloesie veroorsaak, sal nie so prominent in die nuwe kerk wees nie.
  
• sommige skaam hulle seker vir 'n skadunet kerk?
• die voorstel is om 'n nuwe kerkraad te kies vir die nuwe kerk sonder naam - Village Church, House of Truth of wat ook al.
• hulle wil hê dat enige mens van enige kerk welkom moet wees.
• dis in lyn met die Herero Konferensies wat ons einde Sept elke jaar hou en waarnatoe mense vanuit Namibia en Botswana kom.
• daar is 10 plus manne en vroue in New Xanagas wat die Woord kan bedien.
• die plan is ook om Bybel studie kursusse in die week aan te bied.
  
• net die gedagte dat die die Boesmans en gemeenskap van New Xanagas hulle eie kerk wil bou en laat groei maak my opgewonde.
• die druk is van my as sendeling af om dit te "laat werk" - die bal is in hul hande.  Hulle aanvaar eienaarskap.
  
• die tyd sal leer wat God se plan met die kerk is.    "Vader - laat U Wil geskied."
  
• Martin is terug. Ons werk goed saam.  Wil vir die mense wys wat is samewerking en om saam in Christus te groei.
  
• indien jy water wil laat vloei om te help met die bou - merk dit asseblief    NUWE KERK.
• die wonderlike ding is dat ek nou vir omtrent 90 dae afwesig gaan wees in New Xanagas - pas Dina op, kook, nurse, bed pan, huis aan die kant hou, tuin, kat kos gee en alles.  Manne - waardeer jul vroue.  Die werk is nie hard nie - net onophoudelik.  Ek leer baie. Dina loop stadig met krukke, geen pyn as sy nie verkeerd beweeg nie, ek is rug en been masseur ook.   Gaan goed - DANKIE Vader.
  

                        Baie BLESSINGS vir jou en my - in Christus.

Hulle (die Dr's) sê Dina se bene is soos botter - osteoporose - maar Ek ........

Hulle (die Dr's) sê Dina se bene is soos botter - osteoporose - maar Ek (Jesus Christus) sê julle is Volmaak - omdat ons Vader in julle is.

Daarom vra ek jou wat hier lees om saam te stem en ons dank ons Vader vir "wholeness" en genesing en sterk bene vir Dina.

Sy loop met die krukke, weier pyn stillers en gaan oor so 4 dae Gobabis toe met Med Rescue waar sy vir 'n paar dae gratis in Goba Lodge gaan bly.  Dankie Dewaal.   Bel haar by 00 264  81 72 72 567 as jy wil.

Ek gaan more huis toe om die chaos op te ruim voor The First Lady of Xanagas huis toe kom.

Dina se 50 seconds bakkie met pink bull bar se dryfas koppelings was gaar, N$ 3,266 later is hulle weer perfek.  Dankie Vader vir water.

WEET:  Ons Vader is rondom en in jou.   Baie Liefde vir jou - soos 'n golf van hier tot daar.    Jy sal Hom ervaar.

My nr in Nam is   + 264 812 66 33 78

21 August        (Tydens die 23 uur wat Dina sonder mediese hulp op grasperk gelê het.   Woorde wat 'n vriend in Whk ervaar het.  Jy kan dit lees as jy rustig is.))

Ayana: Since yesterday there has been the awareness that it is Love that moves and emanates from Core. Love is the intention (that which moves) and substance/content (that which is expressed). Its target is everything and yet not necessarily anyone in particular.

Life is moving Love (and where does Love not move?).

The physical universe is an elaborate design of moving Love, of Life, expressed in form, yet inhabited and held by the formless.

"Dina's path has altered course as well."

22 August

"Nothing will be the same for her. See her glory and extend this gift of sight to everyone."

Ayana: But I see not as I did yesterday. The glory was a strong impression, so full of vibrancy, perfection and purity. Today, this is a mere knowing, a memory perhaps, because the impression yesterday was so strong. Perhaps...

"Then choose, slow down, become still and look again."

Ayana: Okay, Jesus grant me your vision which is your gift to me from God.

A world arises slowly as if from within me. The impression is more one of a hard casing or shell crumbling and giving way .

It is my eyes doing this. I can feel that my gaze is becoming softer, gentler and more substance-directed than form occupied.

To view with love is to grant yourself the gift of true sight.

I let the unceasing flow of Love from within extend to Dina as I turn my gaze towards her…

To ensure that there is no agenda, I first look at Gawi and wonder what it is that I saw in him yesterday and slowly, ever so gently, the words take form in me: I saw his magnitude, his capacity to absorb, to take in, to truly receive the gift unspeakable of realising that he is be-ing, the will of the Father.

He experienced the gift of presence, the awareness that he himself is be-ing The Presence, not just enjoying The Presence.

"Now hold this gently and observe."

Ayana: I do. Presence is spaciousness, not a point. It is not condensed or contracted into a specific place in space. It is a quality of mind, open-mindedness, extending like diffuse tentacles of an octopus probing the vastness of mind and taking in everything as it extends deeper into reality.

"This is only your experience for now. It is a passing phase. Return to Gawi being the gift of Presence, his sanity, his Wholeness."

Ayana: The words, "his wholeness," rings in me. Presence is wholeness. It is perfect health because in presence there are no parts. Nothing is part of me. Presence is all.

"Gawi had to come to see you (op pad Whk toe het ek by hom gestop) and you him for the gift of Presence to be made real to you both and hence, to all.

"You now feel how that that presence, awareness of be-ing presence, is soaking into the fibre of your being. It registers on a cellular level, thereby gifting this contracted and dense body with the wholeness of spaciousness, with well-be-ing."

"And so, without having realised the import of the experience, Gawi has been gifted with Homecoming. When his "abilities" and attempts were exhausted - reached the end of the line (tydens die 23 uur van naakte pyn en niks wat ek kon doen - behalwe om te WEET -God is hier)  - all that remained for him was to experience the truth of be-ing Presence. There was quite literally nothing else for him, see?"

"There never was anything else but Presence, but now Gawi knows this. He has experienced the truth of who he is as the Presence of the Father. How can this be construed in any other way than being the coming home to one's self, to one's birthright, to one's inheritance, or rather, one's created authority, the authority of be-ing I Am."

"You have typed many words and done so in a way as haphazard as your thoughts have been. Correct this not so that you lose not the thread contained in the words, the thread your mind has followed as awakening dawned upon it".

"Now we return to Dina, with the understanding that it was Gawi's Presence that was required and no-one else's. He has been her sanity and will continue to anchor her in the reality of be-ing, in the truth of being fully human while being altogether divine."

"Allow the gift of Gawi's presence to be your guide as you look upon your sister."

Ayana: Okay, I'm aware of a soft and all-pervading clarity. Definition, which I used to like so much, is gone. It has given way to … what?

Well, I am aware of respectfulness of the way things are. A cold, grasping, calculatedness is no more. I don't know why I express it as such, but I do know that the words I use here seem to be the most appropriate. The will to define and describe seem to have fallen away or given way to calm observance absent of any agenda other than to see what is for no other reason than just seeing. Specifics matter not, well not here anyway.

Dina sleeps in a state of eternal youthfulness, exquisitely preserved and beautifully arrayed. The story of Goldilocks befits her to a tee. Her prince, in having rushed to her side, has found himself, through the very act of having reached out to her in her distress and just being with her in that place of not knowing, that dark night of a soul at the end of striving, as himself being ready to relinquish all effort, but not desire…

Prince Gawi had to first find himself, his calling and function, for the kiss of true love to abolish sleep, to awaken the gift Dina has been and has held out to Gawi. The words "held out" don't feel right so I'll try again. It is a gift she has preserved, or rather held in trust, for him. It is the gift of right-mindedness. 

Dina has actually been the personification of the Holy Spirit?

"Dina's function has been that, yes. And she, very much like the Holy Spirit, has simply been waiting for the searching, grasping, mind to become still enough to be able to be returned to sanity, home, to its own calm sanity that has never departed despite its preoccupation with frantic noisiness generated by a fearful self.

Presence is Gawi's home and Presence is the gift you have now received from him and have extended to all. Now let Presence be felt by you."       Jy wat hier lees sal Hom ook ervaar.   Be blessed.Gawi.)

Ayana: I slowly allow it to be, to permeate my being. Allowing the awesome power and authority is a litle daunting, but by simply continuing to allow, to let be, to receive, causes bonds to snap open, as if these bonds have been under tension. The peacefulness that sets in has a quality of soft receptiveness to it. It feels as if I am more open and receptive than ever before while being more attentive to letting pass-through be complete. Nothing is retained. Everything is given, shared, passed on…...

The stream of life that perpetually flows from within, is now joined by awareness, the awe-inspiring awareness that it is God Who is among us, AS us.

S O S Dina gly en breek been.

   
Dina gly en breek been.  Sy is op pad Windhoek toe met Med Rescue.

Dankie Vader vir die 5 Broers en Susters in Christus wat ons Hospitaal plan lewendig hou.   DANKBAAR.

Dina kon glad nie beweeg nie.   Ek was in Gobabis.   Het 20h00 by huis gekom.    Dina het voor die warm water donkie op gras gelê.
Deur nag gehelp met pyn pille en warm water in wyn bottels gegooi dat sy warm bly.    Niks geslaap.

Vandag met hulp en 'n deur onder matras haar in bakkie gekry en Gobabis toe gery.

Ek is ontsettend bewus van ons Vader se Teenwoordigheid.

Baie Liefde vir jou.

It happened!! We found water !!

The borehole for the Khoxo Bushmen family in the Kalahari desert was drilled and the yield is enough to sustain them and sheep and goats and a small garden. God provided 4 x 250 watt solar panels and a pump that can pump the 220 m deep water in 2 tanks. GLORY !!

The name of the place is Blessing and we pray that it will be a place of 

blessing for every one who visit the place. 

We will  soon have enough meat to supply the kitchen at the church 

- at Phȁm-Phặm (it means abundance) in New Xanagas to start cooking  for old 

and sick and hungry -  so that they can see Christ in us and hear His Word and 

Live and to break the poverty.  John 10 : 10

Remember you are welcome to visit us any time. 

Experience the joy together with the people at Blessing when the water started 

to flow out of the borehole -  click here   https://youtu.be/iHijoUn6R14

Thank you Father.   After months of path making in the bush and praying 

and the miracle that four solar panels - a pump that   can pump 210 m, electric 

cable and pipe – was provided by you and ... and .... who become our Father's 

hand to Provide.    THANK YOU !!!!!

The pump delivers about 500 liters per hour. 

There is still a big challenge - to prevent overgrazing - we MUST erect movable 

fences and to protect the sheep and goats from   predators. Because it is an outpost 

we may not erect permanent camps. We say Thank You Father for whatever is needed.

If you want to donate water (funds) to flow to develop Blessing – please mark the 

donation BLESSING – the price of a pregnant  goat with two lambs is R1000 

– the cost of the movable 3500 meter fence is P 80,000 or USA $ 8,000.

Remember - this is the 1st of a few cattle posts South of New Xanagas to be created 

- Thank God for wisdom and water.

Be Blessed!!
