A few weeks after we came back from Greytown, 13Floor visited our church.

They were about 42 young men and women and our youth leader asked in church for people who would help with a place to sleep for them. I gave up my name, but was later told that they had enough sleeping place. Well Tuesday evening as I sat down to watch the show, the youth leader came over and asked if he could press on my button for a place to sleep. They had someone's dad thats coming that needs a place to sleep for just Tuesday, as he was going to deliver a message for them the Wednesday.

I said yes, and after the show I met Albert. I immediately liked Albert. We started chatting about everyday life and telling each other about our lifes. Well he invited me to go along as they were going to a wild reserve 35Km out of town where they are going to have a meeting with the Father. Early the next morning I went into work and put in a days leave.

Albert delivered a short message and then started praying, talking, to Father....

Again my life was changed as Father pulled me close and showed me what it was to life in a relationship with him.

Albert also gave me a list of books I can read. I started with "Why I don't want to go to church anymore" and then listened to the "Transition" series of Wayne.

Everyday my relationship with Father grew, but I will tell more about what and how he changed my life later.

It was on Wayne's webpage that I saw "The Shack" and decided to buy it.

Just finished reading The Shack and what can I say but WOW!!!! It helped me understand the love that my Father have for ME and for EVERYONE else!!!

My name is Danie Theron. I am from Vereeniging in South Africa.

Welcome to my Journal

I would like to apologize upfront for my grammar and spelling.... Feel free to comment on my posts.

With this journal I hope to pen down my AWESOME JOURNEY since i've been reborn in Christ.

I am 37 years and for the last 18 years I have strayed from the path. My very good friend Dirk Botha invited me to a Christian camp at Greytown. I didn't want to go but said yes.

What an awesome weekend. They hoped for 20 000 men, they closed registration at 40 000 men and more than 60 000 men pitched up.

Uncle Angus, as we all called him, welcomed us the Friday night with this remark: "Welcome to my home, this is the most people i've ever had for supper."  Here is a link to Mighty Men 2008 webpage.

I gave my life to Jesus that evening and so this awesome journey started.
