I just spent the night making a cheesecake for my shepherd and mentor Pastor Johanes who will be leaving to lead our church in South Africa this Friday. In the process i realised I don't have jelly powder to make it the cake stand and enough butter to keep the crushed biscuit hard.

It is now in the fridge and I'm not sure how it'll turn out. But however ugly it will appear when its cut tomorrow doesn't really matter because the cake is a good representation of the kind of person Pastor Jo is. He taught me not so much with his words but rather with his actions that we don't need to be impressive on the outside but just be righteous and strong on the inside.

He also taught me 1) not to immitate other ministries and God calls us for a unique work. 2)train men and 3) release ourselves to the work of the Spirit.

I've been privilege to be mentored by him as i was with the various mentors before him. I want to thank him for playing a big part in making me survive my first year in full time ministry and also for leaving a mark for me in my journey of life.

I'm going to miss him but i know he's needed elsewhere where God will use Him greatly, so I better stop writing now. Good night!
