Good News from Fruitful Africa
It was on tour in 2008 on an Arik Air flight to Benin from Lagos, Nigeria, that I saw a vision. This was the first tour of the Harvester Blues Band including Apostle Andre and myself, the Collins Brothers Dale and Leigh, Greg “Ching” Smith, and bass man Jean-Pierre Joubert. At that stage it was hard for people to understand the maths of missions. It felt like we were sowing and sowing, going and going and the ground was hard. Apostle Andre said that he initially did not think he would go into Africa, but rather to the English speaking nations of the world. Today there are already two French Churches relating to Harvester in Côte d’Ivoire and there are 45 more French speaking nations to reach. With the recent connections in Uganda with Pastor Richard Sisendi and other brothers in Liberia busy adopting the Harvester Constitution, it seems clear that those early seeds sown in obscurity are producing tremendous fruit.
The vision was of a huge tree the shape of the continent, with roots in the South, a strong supporting stem in the middle and bright juicy fruit further up encouraged us to continue with the expensive long term strategy of reaching Africa, to reform the Church in order to reform the land.
Well done Apostle Andre Pelser, who has acted as “Dr. Livingstone I presume?” in a Rolux Magnum advert (A lawn mower company – “cutting a pathway through Africa”) in early 80’s and is following in Livingstone’s footsteps from Cape To Cairo. This is acting prophecy in its purest form. If you would like to help us reach more nations and especially support the February trip to Côte d’Ivoire, please contact me at mbc@harvesterchurch.org.za.
Enjoy my painting of the Prophecy, now being fulfilled by grace through faith – thank you Jesus!

Once in a Blue Moon

 Once in a Blue Moon When the moon is closest to the earth in orbit, it is called a perigee, and the moon therefore appears thirty percent larger than usual. The Christian calendar depends on the phases of the moon to determine Easter or the Paschal Moon, as well as the Lenten moon. In our unique South African context, load shedding coincided with the most wonderful view of our moon on the evening of the 31st of August. Our section of the city had a blackout and thus the moon became the best entertainment on a winter’s night. We went outside and gazed up. Apparently, Saturn was also very close to the moon, although you needed a telescope to see it. A clever astronomer who had the camera lenses and telescopic attachments, managed to snap a photo of the event. Why is it blue? The apparent blue tinge of the moon could be atmospheric effects of water vapour but could also reflect some of the terrace elements of titanium oxide and iron on the moon itself, being made up of similar meta
