Thank You, Lord!

Start your day by praising the Lord just like this amazing bird. The bird is called Canary da Matta. The song is written, composed and sung by Don Moen.

Listen to the whole song from Don Moen by clicking on the triangular play button below.

So, whose side are you on?

Remember that Jesus warned us that near the end of time, conflicts and wars will increase. Indeed, one sometimes gets bewildered by what is going on and you do not always know how to respond correctly to the chaos around you. Taking a ‘wrong’ side sometimes might alienate us from our family and friends. 

So, whose side are you on? I found the answer in the sermon from Louis Kotze held on 22/10/ 2023. The sermon starts at around 57 minutes into the broadcast but you may want to watch the report from our missionary in the Middle East first, which starts at around 47 minutes into the broadcast. If you only have 5 or 6 minutes, try at least to listen to the answer of the question posed on this blog: from ca. 1hr 10 minutes into the broadcast. Love is not a choice. It is a commandment. May God bless you richly.

Heart for Children is asking you to prayerfully consider helping with the project for the orphans in KZN that we have embarked upon. The Rehoboth Children’s Village near Port Shepstone in KZN is an orphanage with 21 homes with surrogate mothers taking care of more than 75 orphans, many of whom have been abandoned by their own kin & close relatives because they also suffer from HIV. The orphanage is battling with the power they get from ESKOM and we want to help them by converting the school and the homes to solar and the introduction of gas stoves. This is a sustainable project as it will lead to direct savings for the orphanage in the expenses for power. In short: We are asking you to help us for the Rehoboth Children’s Village in KZN to become partly or wholly independent of ESKOM power, by converting to solar power. There are a number of projects that have been proposed and it will depend on the income that we can generate in the next few months as to how far we get in the whole orphanage becoming self-sufficient as far as electrical power is concerned. Heart for Children already has a considerable amount available thanks to a special bequest that was made. Should you, or your business, or anyone you know, be interested in helping us, we can send you any of the following documentation, as required:

  1. The official letter from Heart for Children requesting funds from you/ your business
  2. Proof of registration of Heart for Children as a non-profit company (section 21)
  3. Proof of registration of Heart for Children as Public Benefit Organization (Section 18a)
  4. An example of our letter of thanks and tax certificate
  5. The solar projects for the Rehoboth Children’s Village for which we ask your help!
  6. The certificate of compliance to BBBEE from the Rehoboth’s Children Village
  7. Company profile: Heart for Children part 1, see HFCCompanyProfile1.pdf
  8. Company profile: Heart for Children part 2, see https://www.heartforchildren.co.za

Should you be willing to help us, we could consider making a trip to the orphanage to assess which specific solar project you want to support, mostly. Please note that this project of Heart for Children is in addition to our regular support. If you want to help us with some extra donations for this project, we ask that in the reference line you write your name + surname + the word “SOLAR”. Every little bit helps! For our donors from overseas we can make an arrangement that they can also donate via our parent organization, Hart voor Kinderen.

Please contact us! Wishing you God’s richest blessings,

 PS

I have some great news. After sharing the projects with our parent company in the Netherlands, namely Hart voor Kinderen, and mentioning to them the plight of the whole village of having to sit many times for hours without electricity during load shedding and being unable to cook during this time, they said that they also wanted to help us. But they wanted to make it a challenge. They promised to sponsor our effort to raise the funds for this orphanage Rand for Rand.

This means that your donation will be doubled up by our friends in the Netherlands!

Remember: this is a sustainable project that will continue to save money for the orphanage and make them partly or wholly independent of ESKOM power, depending on our total income. Again: If you want to help, in the reference line, please mention your name and the word ‘SOLAR” so we know how to allocate your donation.

Many thanks for any contribution you can make!!

Global Climate policies are targeting food production

I reported before on how the farmers in the Netherlands are being bullied by the media and the government into selling their farmland. See here:

Bullying of the farmers | Bread on the water

If there is anyone here who can follow the science that I spelled out there, you will notice that there really is no ‘nitrogen’ problem at all in Belgium and the Netherlands. The question therefore becomes: what is the reason for this bullying? Where is this going to lead? It seems that from all fronts, veganism is promoted and dairy- and animal farmers are under attack, not only in the Netherlands. Climate activists around the world are collaborating with governments around the world to shut down farms by imposing burdensome regulations and top-down decrees, allegedly to prevent a purported climate crisis. It appears these efforts are being led by the UN. People in charge of some of the most powerful organizations on the planet have determined that agriculture, specifically animal agriculture is to blame (partly) for global warming, and in its turn, global warming is to blame for the high prices of food and food shortages. Take some time to watch the video below and let me know what you think. I liked the way she stood up for her Christian faith (during the question time).
