Testimony of Dempsey & Nerina Muller |
|
In 1989, I was in the South African Defence Force and Nerina was studying to be a teacher. At that time we met with the people of Alon. In those few months God really touched our lives in an amazing way, yet over the years, we slowly backslid, by compromising with the world. This was mostly through chasing our own dreams. And yes, our dream came to pass, for we ended up living in the remote wilderness of Northern Botswana, Africa, running a Safari business. To the world a live that most only dream of, idyllic to the extreme, but… The reality of living our own dream was a marriage that was breaking up, myself stressed out, worked out, depressed and at times suicidal. Our three daughters growing up in a very abnormal life. No fellowship, no family close by and friends a very scarce article. In 2005 in our darkest hour, we called on the Lord and He in His mercy answered. We are back – in His ways and in His dreams for us, which is far better than anything we could have asked for. Our lives are changed, we have an incredible future , full lives, exciting lives. No part of our old lives can compare with this life that we have in Jesus here at Alon. All glory and honour to Him – His Word is so true that says ‘ask ye first the kingdom of God and He will add all these things to you’ (Matthew 6:33). |
