Psalm 116: 12
What shall I return to the Lord for all his goodness to me?
13 I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord.
14 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people.
1 CHRONICLES 16:34 (ESV)
Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; for His steadfast love endures forever!
When I was elected Dean of the Western Cape Circuit It was on the 12 of May 2012.
The outcome of the Election was as follow: 20 Bock and12 Dinale.
What made this Appointment special is the fact that I had in mind to leave the Fulltime Ministry at 40 but again God in His Wisdom knew exactly how to knock me down with love. I served the full term of 6years with the help of God and people like Henry Petersen, Nicky Willemse, Charles Jansen, Thelo Wakefield, Pamela Heyns, Louis Herdien, Lanfred Fradie, Kalie van der Westhuizen, Denis Malgas, Gwen Florence.
In the next term, not much has changed. New members were Dennis Louw, Alfred Van Staden. Lucille van Zyl who acted as organizing Secretary. I had three Deputies namely, Pastor Muller, Pastor Darryl. Pastor Harwood.
Under these two Councils we did what was expected of us, we admit that a lot needs to be done, a lot needs to change, there’s enough room for improvement. To all the members I thank you and may God bless you. Now during these 12 years I had this Godgiven Previledge to work and serve alongside the following people. Please add on if I might miss someone.

We are called to follow someone – who was once received with Hosannas, and shortly after that the same people cried a loud Crucify Him, Crucify Him. But in all these things we are More Than Conquerors.
