Only An Anchored Rope Can Save Your Life!

“We cannot swing up on a rope that is attached only to our own belt”
William Ernest Hocking (1873-1966, American Idealist Philosopher)

“... In fact, you cannot use a rope at all, that is not properly anchored”
Louis Roodt (Rope Access Trainer & System Developer, Gravity)

“More than 36 years ago I found my Safe Anchor when I started trusting Christ as my personal Saviour and Lord.”
Pieter Brits (Director, There is Hope Ministries)

“When we were overwhelmed by sins, You forgave our transgressions.” Psalm 65:3

Love Encourages Irrational Acts!

“Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13
“You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:6-8

Can’t You See What God’s Love Has Done?

Noel Was Sent By God

As the work increases, along came Noel Livesey, sent by God.
Noel and his wife Jean returned from the Philippines in December 2006, where they ministered for 25 years as Tribal Church Planters with the Manobo people of Mindanao. They have two sons Leon (23) and Evan (19).
In October 2007 they were asked by The United Church Hermanus to conduct a Basic Needs Survey amongst the farm workers in the Hemel en Aarde Valley. In February 2008 Noel began visiting farms and at present there are 5 groups who gather once a week on their farms to discuss issues with the goal to solve their own problems.

Presentations To Farmers

During the previous three weeks Pieter conducted at least seven Power Point presentations to farmers in Hermanus, Caledon & Swellendam area.

He explained the Wellness Strategy, its life-changing benefits and challenged them to incorporate it among their leaders and workers.

Please pray that the right people will come aboard and that the Wellness Strategy will impact lives where needed most.

During a 3-hour interactive workshop among 9 leaders on one of the apple farms, Pieter concluded with a challenge to impact lives:

Leadership is an art. The art of inspiring followers to perform their duties willingly, competently, and enthusiastically...

The challenge to all was to make a difference from now on, in being the leader, husband and father God wants them to be.

Please pray that these leaders will be able to implement these life changes in their sphere of influence.

Pieter's father died

We all knew he didn’t have much time left, but still, when we received the news that he just died, it still came as a shock…

As many of you already know, Pieter’s father died May 7th, 2010 at the age of 83.

Pieter said: “I always knew that the day my father dies, it will be like a library burnt down.”
His whole life was a rich testimony of such a broad spectrum of skill, knowledge and wisdom, that he could have been a world famous professor if he had the opportunities that is available today. There was nothing his hands couldn’t do or repair… he could talk intelligently on nearly every topic… he captivated everybody with his endless stories and jokes…

Friend,

We would like to contribute in the development of your relationship with the Lord.

Feel free to leave a message on this form.  One of our e-mentors will reply.

In such trying times at present, we need to investigate and obtain good counselling on issues of life and faith.

Regards,

There is Hope Team
