Our 7 Years with Karoo Mighty Men
8 Junie 2017
Emmanuel Child&Youth Care,
Namens die KarooMMC komitee wil ons julle bedank vir julle deelname aan Karoo MMC vir die afgelope 7 jaar. Julle was deel van ‘n span wat duisende mense se lewens onherroeplik verander het...
“Praise the Lord, my son is 16 years old and was at MMC last year as well as this year; he was a different boy and has been blessed with all the powerful messages.”
“Thank you for the best weekend ever, me giving my heart to the Lord.”
Vandag is Karoo Mighty Men ‘n herinnering. Nie iets om af te stof nie maar om naby jou hart te koester...
Stof– FanieLaubscher
Ekhou die stap skoene vas in my hand en wil dit begin afstof, maar huiwer vir ‘n oomblik.
Hierdie stof verteenwoordig so baie.Hierdie is ongelooflike ervaring stof. Dit is stof van die Karoo en my laaste stukkie van tasbare onthou.
Die plaas, die manne wat aanstap, die groot verhoog, die opgewondenheid… alles sulke vinnige terug blik oomblikke wat nou deur my gedagtesspoel. Die musiek begin speel, die indrukwekkende verhoog voor ons en so effe links, die laaste onthou van die grootsheid van ‘n Karoo son sak.
Ek onthou hierdie oomblikke amper die beste van elke jaar se Karoo MMC. Amper soos die Here se verwelkomings groet by die Karoo. Terwyl die wolke subtiel ingekleur word en die manne se stemme begin opdruis kry ek so effense heimweegevoel van ‘n laaste Karoo Mighty Men sonsak. Ek probeer elkesekonde inneem, want ekbesefhierdie is onslaastebesoeksaam op die plaas.
Ekkykaf en maak my oë toe. Ek bid uitdankbaarheid. Dankbaar vir oomblikke, dankbaar om te kan bid. Ek bid vir my seuntjie se toekoms, sommer vir die oom regsvoor my se toekoms ook. Ek bid oorbekommernisse en ek bid virGenade. Ek maak my oë oop en sien die droë grond en stukkies gras rondom my skoene. My sit-plekkie op die plaas. My stukkie grond waarek so baie met die Here sit en praat gedurende die naweek.
Hierdie stof op my stap stewels is nie werklik
stof wat ek wil af skud nie. Dit verteenwoordig so baie. My alleen oomblikke met God tussen duisende manne. My Karoo son sak oomblikke. ‘n Kosbare hartstyd wat ek altyd by my sal dra. Stof wat dalk droogte weerspieël, maar die Karoo is groen en ons binneste ontvang reën wat ons gemoed en geloof versterk en nuwe lewe bring. Nuwe hoop, nuwe uitsien en nuwe denke oor ‘n God wat Sy kosbare beskermende hande om ons vou en ons styf vashou met deernis en onderskraging.
Wat ‘n wonderlike voorreg en seëning om met hierdie herinneringe te kan wegstap.
Ja voorwaar ‘n voorreg om so ‘n ryke herinnering in jou hart te kan dra.
Nogmaals baie dankie, mag julle werklik geseënd wees!

Emmanuel Child and Youth Care Centre was responsible for the Coke stall at the 2017 KMMC. All moneys earned will be put towards the building extension and recreational room at the home. It is very costly though and we will be needing more sponsors and one off donations. Our plan is to complete this project for the children to have a indoor sports/play area where as they currently just have the outdoor space which can be freezing cold in winter time.
Other needs are:
1 Linen and curtains/cutlery and crockery
2 Chairs and tables/room closets/loose carpets
3 Educational toys and books
4 Winter clothing for boys (somehow we have plenty for girls)
5 Christian books, DVD's and Bibles
6 Christian Volunteers
7 Other Tutors in Maths, Music etc
8 Volunteers towards renovations
9 Funds towards professional staff training e.g. transport, training fees, salaries
All nutrition, child programs and projects as well as personal items like toiletries etc are being funded by the Department of Social Development for the next financial period.
All Emmanuel Care Workers will soon be send for professional training as to give our children a more specialized service. Monitoring by the Department will be in place. The training is costly and therefore we will be needing much needed funds.
Emmanuel members are thankful to all people caring for our children and the home in some way, for prayers and spiritual support as well as other more physical contributions.
The Emmanuel gumboot dancers, The Young Little Stars (8 boys), had a very successful past year and still going strong. The dancers are currently practicing for their next event....please watch this space.....more to come. Please follow their photo's and success stories in previous blogs. Our male models, Hendrico and Cecil did not attend The Arts, USA this year, although they were invited by International Judges, funding just did not cut it for them. They needed about ZAR200 000.00 in total, covering plane tickets, accommodation and food, visa's, passports. They remain positive for next year though. The models have decided to trust God to provide and if He so will, if they do not go, they will remain training, auditioning where possible as well as performing locally. We are proud of the guys.
All Emmanuel children are praying for the Knysna and other victim areas affected by floods and the fire in Western Cape. Emmanuel would like to make a contribution towards this in some form. We are currently making arrangements via a contact
Last but not least, we support Chairman Bertus Deysel in his mission to minister and provide Bibles towards men and boys in Rossmead, local area outside of Middelburg. Bertus completed his Diploma course in Technology with Hands On Africa although Evangelism among our local communities is his passion. Our prayers goes with Bertus.
