The Effect of Your Everyday Life On Mine

Evan de Jager 

This is my story of how I found my way to come to know God more through this church:

Well it all started with an email that was sent to me by one of my Mom’s friends, she mistakenly threw me in the “To” list. It was an email about dancing in the “David dance” group for Pentecostal day at Powerhouse church.  I replied to find out why she invited me and she said; “Well it was a mistake, you can just ignore the mail.” I then said “I like dancing so when is it? Maybe I can see if I can join you guys.”

With no intention to have fun or even learn a few things, I joined in on their practice for the dance on Thursday nights and there I had the privilege to meet a girl named Nicola Griesel, she is much older than me, but we shared our stories with each other and learning about her walk with God amazed me. So I continued to go every Thursday for the weeks to come just to hear more about her walk and her studies. She studied through powerhouse ministries, so I became hungry for more of what she experienced there. As we approached the big day of the dance I started to ask myself what was it that propelled me to come to these classes each and every week.

I had a big decision and question laying dormant in my soul and in my heart, because in my heart I knew that I was hungry for more of God, but  I wanted to know which way to go... So that very Friday night before the dance I prayed a prayer asking what and how do I get to my true purpose? I learned that night more about the bible school, and even met the Pastor of Powerhouse. Thus I was prompted in my heart to learn more of God’s word. I then asked God to show me if He wanted me to study there or not.

The next morning I went to work as normal and with a shock to my eyes I saw the pastor of Powerhouse, Dr Francois, he was standing in the foyer of the company I was working at. When I went in through the door I thought this can’t be, is he here to see me? Then he stood up to great me and all of a sudden I felt this warm presence within me. Then the CEO of the company came around the corner and greeted him like a very good friend with a hug and continued on with him towards his office. Turns out they are really close friends and once a week they get together to pray for the company and people working there. That is where I knew I had to study ministry through Powerhouse ministries.

Glory be to God the utmost high King!
