What a privilege to could have been part of Bastiaan & Elmandi’s wedding in Hazyview, where she grew up.  Hazyview is such a beautiful part of South Africa and I’m sure every guest already felt blessed just by undertaking the journey down to Hazyview and spending the weekend there in the lavish green bush setting of Umbhaba Lodge (meaning ‘love’ in Zulu).  But then, as if the setting wasn’t beautiful and inspiring enough, Bastiaan & Elmandi shared their wedding day in such a personal way with their close family and friends, that no one could return home without being inspired and spiritually enriched by the shared experience of their ‘love’ declaration & celebration in the presence of God.  It was clearly evident that they as a couple are set apart for God and that they are ready and fully aware of the responsibility in this journey.

Bastiaan and Elmandi, thank you for an unforgettable day spent together with you!  We pray that your walk with God will be solidly founded in His Word as your only authority. Study it and teach it, completely depending on His power & Word, not your own.  God bless you, Lucinda & Petrus

Proverbs 16:3 – Commit [total trust and submission to the will of God] your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.
