Passion in Calling!

My name is Captain Mel Deslate,

As corps officer of both Bonteheuwel and Matroosfontein Corps, and administrator of the Nursery School, I feel strongly with the support of a few local people in the corps to grab this wonderful opportunity to host the FRONTIER team. We would like the team to assist us (Bonteheuwel/Matroosfontein) equip and mobilize the corps folk, especially the young people in order to prepare them and our people within the community for 2010 World Cup and beyond.

We believe that with the help of the FRONTIER team living with us in the community for 6 weeks, it will make an impact and influence the lives of our people, especially the young people who are involved with drugs and gangsterism in the community.

Our hopes for the outcome of this exercise and experience is that people’s lives will be changed in their mindsets as well as their lifestyle as they experience the love and compassion of God’s grace. In the long run the community will have an better environment, as the scripture says in 2 Chronicles 7:14 “If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and heal their land”. I am strongly convinced and believe that the Lord cannot heal the land unless the people in the land are healed from wicked ways.
