Western Cape Ladies Tea

Western Cape Ladies Tea

Just to say Thank you

Today IS special for us as women, to sit together and have a cup of tea ….. And of course all the yummy things we can enjoy.
But sometimes it is good just to sit all on our own somewhere, some place, with a cup of tea or coffee and think …. Think about the things of God.
I would like to share about what is written in Job
In Job 4 vs 17 &19 we read – “shall mortal man be more JUST than God? Shall a man be more PURE than his maker? Can God trust man who dwells in houses of clay, and whose foundation is in the dust” We stop and ponder – God made US of clay and a foundation which is IN the dust!! Dust and Clay!!!!
What if we as woman had been able to advise God in how to make us?? We would never have been happy to be made of clay. Clay can crack and break toooo easily. A foundation of the dust – definitely not. Dust can settle but if blown disperses all over the place. Everything speaks of feeling and being insecure – Especially for us as women.
Perhaps if we as women had any say with what God made us of – we would say to God ‘What about something beautiful? We will always take delight in looking into jewellery shop windows. What about making us with gold, silver or precious stones? Look at the flowers they are all different colours. Oh yes God, what about each one being made of our birth stone – Ruby, amethyst, topaz to name a few. And it being the month of September – well – that would mean some sitting here would be Sapphire.
BUT God chose without our help – to give us clay bodies. For a covering over our skeleton He chose different earthy colours. Brown, white, coloured. Not pink for girls and blue for boys!!! My grandchildren tell me that white children are called peach not white. I am learning!!!!

God from the beginning is interested in the heart. Even in Adam and Eve’s heart. He is interested in the heart of a woman – your heart and mine. He is interested in the inside. Our Spirit, our soul and our mind.
God works with us from within us.
GOD makes a person a new creation of anyone who wills to believe on His Son, Jesus Christ.
God tells us in His word that we ARE a new creation when we have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Saviour – the one who died for our sins on the cross of Calvary.
Our clay bodies become His temple where Jesus, The Living God dwells.
Our foundation within is a rock that cannot be moved or blown away. Christ is our new foundation. With His principles which is His doctrine.
He works with us from inside of us which then has an outworking in our daily lives. Now the Gold, silver and precious stones will begin to be built within our lives.
Even as a new creation we can battle with our soul which then affects our minds and our relationship with others and sometimes even with the Lord.
Perhaps today you are battling with a husband, a child, a parent or a friend. Go to the Lord and tell Him all about your difficulty and then ……. say thank you to the Lord – for your husband, your child, your parent or your friend.
God has reserved a place in your heart that no husband, no child, no parent, no friend, no earthly possession can fill. That place God has reserved for himself. Only Jesus can fill.
In closing – in Philippians 3: 20 & 21 our conversation is of heaven; we look to the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ Who shall change our VILE BODY, that is may be fashioned like unto His glorious body.
We as women can say Thank you Lord for YOUR very own perfect plan. We are the Bride of Christ. A new creation.

Ladies Camp June 2013





Dear all, and fellow campers,
It is so good when strangers become aquaintances; and aquaintances become friends and friends become family!  Yes all together,  family of our Father God and Saviour.
On thinking back over the week-end, the words of a well known song kept coming to mind;
                                “The things of earth will grow strangely dim
                                  in the Light of His Glory and Grace”!!!!
Rain was pouring down outside, and I am sure not one of us was conscious of the outside elements.
                                We received food for our souls
                                We received food for our bodies (yummy)
                                …and food for thought.
What a joyous gathering where all the women (and three men!) were one in voice and one in focus.
We were made to worship You oh Lord my God! When we were singing and were surrounded by those wonderfull voices, it just spoke to my spirit and I just knew that God was receiving our sacrifice of praise – thank You, thank You Lord!
Thank You for tongues of promise & worship!
Thank You for interpretations of encouragement to be bold!
Thank You for the enthusiasm of brave leaders
Thank You for fellowship after the meetings and thank You for your precious Presence!
Much love in Christ
Stevie  –  Langebaan.



Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
A heartfelt thanks to the oversight of Coastal Assemblies for affording the ladies another opportunity to gather together under the sound of God’s Word. Throughout the cold and wet weekend, our hearts were warmly knitted together in love, expectation and the immeasureable joy of worshipping our Heavenly Father!  As always, the Lord served us with much – imparting new insights to His ways, His purpose and His desire for us to fullfill our calling according to the measure of Christ in us. Reflecting on the teachings and especially on the encouragement and assurances given through the interpretation of tongues, our hearts were comforted in knowing, that through Him, we are worthy!  
The outworking of the spiritual gifts, once again showed, that when we draw nigh to God, He will draw nigh to us!  As the rain was cleansing and refreshing the earth and preparing the soil for the coming season, the Holy Spirit came to prepare the women in the body with a fresh Word for a new season – to be bold, getting out of the boat – taking the liberty to fullfill our calling in the Church, that His will be done and that none shall perish. Please guide us Lord!
Thank you to Rupert, Alex and Francois for being willing and equipped by the Spirit of God to share the treasures of divine wisdom and insights into the ways and purposes of God. 
A special thanks to Tim, Cathy and the children for amazing meals and treats throughout the week end – much appreciated and enjoyed!
“He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love”. Song of Solomon, 2:4
In Him.
Annatjie – Langebaan




What a blessed weekend with the Cape Town sisters in Christ Jesus at the Ladies Camp in De Hollandsche Mollen. We were greatly encouraged to take our rightful place in the church meetings.
Many thanks to Rupert, Alex and Francois who ministered to us in Word and music.  The food made by Tim and Cathy was excellent, many thanks – and to whoever else assisted, thanks.
Beverley, Janene and Danielle.









Yes, that is snow!

Good Reasons to Join a Small Group

In Ephesians (4:16) Paul talks about the effectual working in the measure of every part.  This often does not happen in a big group. In a small group everyone gets the opportunity to play their part in building up the Body of Christ.

Find Fellowship

As for me and my family – we will serve the Lord

For the body is not one member, but many.  If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?   And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?   If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?   But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

Romans 12: 4-8

For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:   So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.   Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;   Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;   Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
