greatest miracle possible...

howdy folks : )

hans here. just had a wonderful time reteaching 2nd timothy yesterday. i tell you what, its awesome to get to process a book for teaching.... and then process it again a year later.

seriously, what God communicates through His word can be so different at different seasons!? how is that even possible? what struck me last year was the love that was communicated through the book, this year is was the neccesity of faithfulness. BOTH profound truths from 2tim, just applicable in different ways. the living word is an incredible occupation... i am truly blessed.
and now,
on to the greatest miracle possible

as some may be aware, i visit a police station near muizenberg and share devotions.
last week tuesday i went with a fellow biblical dept staff (as the driver). His name is Olivier Koffi (spelling?) and he is a gifted teacher from Togo. He has studied to be a lawyer, and is an incredibly perceptive and clear communicator. He took on the topic of "grace" from Titus chapter 2, verses 11-14. Salvation has come to ALL people...
he did a beautiful job communicating the heart of God for everyone, and at the end asked if there were any people that would be interested in giving their hearts to Christ....

and guess what? there were.

i had never seen anyone do such a thing in this setting! i had never even considered doing such a thing?!? it seemed completely "out there" to me!!
are you serious?? (i was thinking in my heart)

the greatest miracle possible happened as a result of olivier's boldness.
we went back this morning (tuesday) and he did a follow up message.
declaring the neccesity of dependance, showing the brokeness of human nature.

guys, this has been one of my highlights here in south africa.
its amazing what a bit of obedience mixed with courage can accomplish!!
we will continue follow up with said individuals as the opportunity affords.
be obedient! be courageous!
who knows if God may make you a witness too,
the greatest miracle possible...


ps.
if any are interested in investing in this man of God let me know.
he is a worthy investment of your resources and or your time.
he is going to swaziland to help pioneer an SBS 1 (3 months).
he could use all the support possible. financially and prayerfully.

blessings
