"Faith is the conviction that God has the final word!" (r.vehorn)


The South Africa we enjoy today is a testament to the power of prayer and forgiveness, to an underlying national goodwill, to a rare but genuine sense of statesmanship among African leaders led by the late President Mandela and to a never dying hope within the broken national heart for a peaceful and profitable future for South Africa. This mixture of divine and human dynamics enabled the nation to peer over the brink of an irreconcilable disaster and move towards a new democratic dispensation. If that moment is ever lost from the national consciousness, if the unspeakable horrors viewed in that dark hole of humanity are forgotten, then South Africa may yet bleed again. Come along on the journey that led the Vehorn family from the security and comforts of the USA in 1988 to live and to work in a desperate setting in South Africa. Pray that South Africans of all races, colors, ethnic backgrounds and ideologies will never forget how close we came or how quickly we could return to that brink.
