Which company does this Jesus work for?
"She is a normal, simple woman, who did something sensible and
realistic. But that's exactly what Jesus can use to plant a church
for a whole village with 450 inhabitants in one single day,"
reports Danie Vermeulen, Dawn Coordinator for southern Africa.
"Kerry was a normal member of a church in Richards Bay, South
Africa. She had volunteered to organise water and food for the women
with babies waiting for the doctor in Kwambonambi. One day, a lot of
food was left over, and she sensed God prompting her to go to the
neighbouring Slovo Camp, to see if anyone was hungry. She discovered
450 people living in extreme poverty. Touched, she decided to take
food there every day. On the third day, three men addressed her; it
turned out that they were the leaders of the community. 'We want to
talk with you. Why do you do that? Why do you give the people food?'
they asked. 'Jesus told me to do it,' she said. 'So which company
does this Jesus work for?' one of them asked. 'He doesn't work for a
company,' she said. 'He is God.' 'Can we meet this Jesus, your God?
If he notices this group of 450 poor slum-dwellers in this huge
universe, he must be the true God. If we can meet him, the whole
community will serve him,' one of the men said. Kerry told them that
she would introduce them to Jesus the following Saturday. Back in
her church, she asked for the Jesus Film and 1,000 meals for the
following Saturday, so that everyone could have enough to eat, and
see that God is not miserly, but has more than enough to provide for
us all. That Saturday, everyone ate as much as they wanted; it was
the best meal which many of them had ever eaten. Several children
ate meat for the first time in their lives. In the evening, they
watched the Jesus Film. At the end, all 450 accepted Jesus as their
new Lord. A church was planted, known as the Slovo Camp church -
through a woman who just made herself available to Jesus," says
Vermeulen.
