Dit het vir ons begin.....

Sekuriteits-bewustheid vir ons eie kruis kulturele en onbereikte werkers

Ek moes sopas hierdie blog skoonmaak van ons Taaiboer se naam in die sites waar dit opgekom het in ons google search ivm met sy geboorte naam en die mense groep waarmee hy tans werk.  Ek het die ander blogs wat ons cravan volg, en dus wat ons almal link, afgehaal.

Die afgelope maande is daar verskeie kere al gepraat oor 'onder die radar'-bewustheid  en nou is dit hier vir ons...

Die kodering van sekere sleutelwoorde is nie meer net praat nie, dis nou die manier hoe dinge gedoen gaan word voorentoe.  Al voel ons nie die dringendheid hier in sonnige SA nie, vir die wat daar anderkant is, kom die onsigbare mure al nader en nader. Die harde realiteit is dat lande toe is vir hierdie Blye Boodskap omdat dit eintlik maar die Gevorseerde Boodksap geword het, plus ander faktore...

En as 'n ou se naam gemerk is, is die visas toe...

Die elektroniese kommuikasie is die gouste/maklikste manier om inligting te versprei/op te spoor, so ons vra dat hierdie bewustheid nie ligtelike opgeneem word nie (veral nie omdat dit nie jou realiteit is nie) maar dat ons almal van nou af kodeering gebruik waar van toepassing. Kry klaarheid by jou oes-werker.

Missionologie het dit klaar gedokumenteer... en vir die wat die oe wil he om dit te sien...

Dit lyk deesdae asof die Koningkryks-gaping tussen evangelisasie en sending al hoe groter word, met rede....

Startings Points & Sat 3 Nov

The Persecuted Church, presented by Ansie Swanepoel, Wycliffe Research Assistant (Sat 3 Nov)

Biblically, persecution is normal.

Persecution isn’t good or bad. It just is. Persecution is a by-product of coming to know Jesus.

Jesus said Go. Not wait until I call you. We have already been called. It is in the Bible for all those who can read, to read and believe and act on.

In an African country on the horn of Africa, people are killed for having a Bible.  It is hard to hide a bible and possessing a bible causes them to be caught.  Orality: God keeps the word in oral form in order to rapidly transmit truth.  (God keeps the word in literate form to preserve truth.)  Where a church is dying is where it has the fewest oral tools.

83% of the unreached cannot read and write....

Knowing God shouldn’t depend on literacy but on the Holy Spirit.



Orality changes the way we do ministry = it requires a personal relationship with the unreached and then telling them God’s stories. Jesus taught us so well by his own example.


Thus, God’s plan to have every knee bow to Him will prevail, regardless if we live or die.
Dying for God’s purposes and not turning away from persecution, sends out a much stronger and convincing message to unbelievers than living an unchallenged life, even though it might be for Him.

Persecution is Satan’s response to people coming to Christ.  How do we know when to leave Joseph in jail?  If we got him out of jail early he couldn’t interpret Pharaoh’s dream and the whole of Israel would die… There for, if expat workers and local believers are obedient to their calling and are a faithful witnesses, they will cause persecution, suffering and eventually face martyrdom. It just is so.

“Thank you that I am free to worship” VS “Thank you that I am free to witness


1 Pet 4:19 So then, those who suffer according to God’s will, should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
