Intro to Wayno

We lived in an average town and attended the same average government school when we were 13.

We started going to an above average, spirit filled youth group, at a Presbyterian Church.

Around the same time we came to know the Lord Jesus as our saviour.

We got to build a strong friendship over the next two years, when I discovered Rugby, beer and girls.

Around the same time the youth group was closed down for being "Too Spiritual".

Wayne and I drifted apart as he continued his walk with the Father and I went on the road more traveled.

 

It was 10 years after we left school that we ran into each other again.

My now wife (but girlfriend at the time) and I had just moved to the beautiful North Coast of Natal.

We were sitting on the beach, when Wayne came running past. Not seeing him in over 10 years, and not knowing where he lived, you can imagine that this was a pleasant suprise. Along with the fact that we knew very few people in this area.

Two months later we invited Wayne, Jen (his wife) and their new-born son Tyde to my birthday party.

It worked out that we lived in the same road. God had re-united us.

 

Wayne was a deacon at a local church. I was still drinking as much beer as I could and smoking anything that burned.
He invited me to church a couple of times, and I went. After a two years, the prodigal was back.

I owe much to Wayne.

 

This time last year Wayne took over a church two hours South of where we live. After attending a "church planters" course, where the Father started revealing His grace to Wayne and Jen. It took a year for the Holy Spirit to fully bring them into the grace walk.

Now there is revival in their church.
Thank you Father.

 

Wayno has sent me his teaching from Sunday 2 December. Hopefully he will be contributing much to this blog. He really is a great teacher.

 

Please hold him and his family up in prayer as they take the New Covenant to the people in this area.
