What happens when you pray - "Father, use us where You want us" or "Lord have Your Will in our lives". No less than 18months ago my wife and I prayed that special prayer together. As a young married couple, we felt that God had brought us together for a mutual purpose and destiny. We desired to discover and follow His plan for us. And we prayed a simple prayer consisting of one line, not realizing how it would literally change our lives! Not only our lives, but also our worlds.
We prayed that special prayer in South Africa a few months ago, and today I am writing to you from Jerusalem, Israel. God had invited us on a special journey with Him and what a JOURNEY it has been so far. We are currently volunteering at Bridges for Peace, Jerusalem where I personally am assisting in three areas namely; Group and Guest Relations, Land of the Bible Experience and Zealous 8:2. What a privilege, for me to have been a Zealous tour participant a few years ago and now to be able to come and serve other Zealots who wish to COME AND EXPERIENCE the Zealous 8:2 Adventure Tour for themselves. We can't wait to meet you in person and for you to join us on one of the Zealous tours in the coming year (Jan 2011 & June 2011).
My wife is assisting at the Bridges for Peace's Jerusalem Outreach Center with various projects that practically impacts the lives of Jewish people in a positive way.
Both of us have had to quit our jobs, leave our families, friends, familiar and comfortable surroundings behind to follow through on one simple invitation...'Come and Follow Me!'...
How about you? How are you responding to that special invitation - 'Come and follow Me?' (Matthew 4:19).
Wishing you all of the best,
Theuno & Maretha Swart.
