Testimony
on God’s work in 2012 in my life till end May 2012
Here is an update and testimony on what’s happening these
days in my life. During 2011 I worked for an organization called The Potato
Foundation (www.thepotatofoundation.co.za).
What a blessing this was! I’ve never in my life been as busy as I was during
last year. There were just too many awesome testimonies and too little time to
document them all. Something I wish I did! But with the Lords Grace new
testimonies will come and I will do my best to document them all! That’s the
reason I started to blog this year. I am not exactly sure what blog is and how
it works, but I will learn as I go. (http://dejagermw.blogspot.com/)
2012 up to date is a very interesting year. The Lord
released me from just about everywhere I’ve been busy with in 2011. I went from
extremely busy to sitting at home within a very, very short period of time. I
believe God is preparing me for something big! A glimpse of that picture to
follow a bit later. However everyone needs to work and this is what can be my
income for the time to come:
For The Potato Foundation I currently go and see
companies to support them with their BBBEE status. In short, the company gives
money to charity, the charity provides the necessary documentation, and the
company has achieved the necessary BBBEE status and sits with a tax-deductable
certificate and good conscious for helping the new upcoming generation! It’s a
win-win situation!
My dad and I have been in the restaurant industry for
many years and stock taking has always been a problem. You count the stock, and
then have to manually enter it into the system. There are numerous
opportunities for errors to creep in, and they do! Thus my dad wrote a program
that will assist this entire process. Stock is taken with two persons and a
laptop and directly fed into our system which is synced with the current
system. Stock is taken with a scale and the system then calculates the stock at
hand. This saves countless time and reduces margins for error drastically! We
have tested the system and it works very well! Even huge corporate companies
that have got nothing to do with restaurants have shown interest in the program!
Then an opportunity came across my path to “start my own
business”. We import cashew nuts from Mozambique, cranberries and European
pumpkin seeds from America and SA’s export quality raisins. These four top
quality products you cannot get in any retail store. We prayed and God showed
us to keep away from the retailers. Thus our products, Casa de Caju (Home of
the Cashew) you can only get through me and few other distributors. Every order
is freshly packed! We use a direct marketing strategy and word of mouth plays a
huge part. The products contain various health benefits and contain something
found in every food group. Prices are also very competitive. The idea of the
business is to give back to where it is due, the farmers. The people doing all
the hard ground work. I know that this opportunity is send from God!
This is the businesses I believe will be able to provide
me with sufficient funds to live and also have time to be loose for whatever
ministry task God will bring my way. And this is the main reason for this
letter!
When I sat in the meeting and got introduced to Casa de
Caju, I felt the Spirit of God very strongly in me. This was awesome for me and
serves as a confirmation that God wants me in this business. Other opportunities
are also knocking at my door! I am invited to join a team from Living Word East
on an outreach to Malawi. We will be driving there stopping over at various
places to visit other missionaries. This trip has been on my mind for a while
now and I am very excited to be part of the team! Then there is an opportunity
to go to Hong Kong and meet with the underground church. I was told to have a
look at their website and
felt the Spirit again inside of me. Almost the same as with the nuts! All this
is happening directly after each other.
So in short my calendar looks like this:
- It is MIA2012 (www.mia2012.co.za)
from 25 – 6 July 2012
- Malawi outreach from 7 July till twenty
something July
- Apostolic Prophetic Conference with Rick
Joyner, Angus Buchan, Danie Slabbert and various others in Pretoria (Lewende
Woord). 25 – 28 July 2012
- Hong Kong from 30 July – 5 August 2012.
- David Hogan in Pretoria 10 – 12 August 2012
(Aflame Ministries)
Please pray with me for Gods guidance, wisdom and
provision in all of this. There is much that needs to happen and should God
choose to send me on these missions I would really love to go! The cost is
enormous for me, but in Gods Kingdom it is small change! For the Malawi trip an
estimate R15 000 is needed. This includes everything from the compulsory
injections up front, till I’m back here in Pretoria. The Hong Kong trip will
also amount to more or less R15 000 depending who still wants to come
with. If there is other men that would like to join me and share a hotel room
it will lower the cost drastically! The sooner I book my air ticket, the
cheaper. The conference is for free but I am planning to donate every little
bit of extra money I have left to the underground church in China.
Up to date I have no funds available but my trust is in
God! Please partner with me on these journeys for I cannot do this on my own.
So however the Lord leads you, in prayer, physically, financially or whichever
way the Spirit leads you, there is opportunity for you to share in the
testimonies to come!
