Video: Let’s Go!

A video I shot with the video team telling of how God calls us to reach the world with the gospel.

We shot it as part of the Our African Dream Conference which was held in August this year.

Planning Cultural Sunday

This year Chinelle and I have the task to pull together the events for Cultural Service happening on September 23.

This year, during the morning services we’ll be having normal cultural celebration services and in the evening there’ll be a funny stage-production. This is a mostly student-driven production and we’re very excited to be a part!


The theme is Cultural Revolution: Redeeming our Cultures for Chirst and it’s aimed at saying:

- Every culture needs to honour God,

- God has placed us within our cultures to use us as His ambassadors, and to ask

- How can we trust God to use us to bring about transformation in our cultural context?

Prayers needed:

Production: We have a huge crew and sets are being built for the stage so we really need God’s favour to pull it together and be ready on the 23rd
Hosting: Chinelle and I will be hosting all three services and we’re trusting to bring across the God’s heart for every culture.
Media: I’m responsible for shooting and editing videos for the production with the video team.

Our guys running for House Committee

In August, most of the UCT residences had campaigns for 2013’s house committee members.

Like in politics, this involved marketing, campaigning, interrogations and eventual voting by residence members for their next leaders who will facilitate various like entertainments, maintenance, study mentors, treasury, etc

A few of the boys from Marquad campaigned and 2 made it.

What often happens is these guys get elected and when the new year starts, they get overwhelmed with balancing school, social life

and house committee responsibilities. What we’ve been encouraging the guys to do is to build teams around them who can help them. Instead of being a soloist, invite other men into their lives to walk with them and help share the load.

We’re trusting God that these guys will stand up against injustice and immorality and trust God to bring about godly leadership.
