AFRICAN ADVANCE : SOUTH AFRICA : 08 - 11DECEMBER 2007
African Advance Theme :OnTrack
The OnTrack experience in the African Wilds is an unrivalled experience that promises to thrill and revive the spirit of all participants. Part of it was best described by the feedback from a recent management team member from AngloGold Ashanti: “… it was the best learning experience I had in my whole career … when I stood 25 yards from the lionesses, full of excitement but with no fear, I realized that the reason for the fearlessness was because I was not alone … every activity could be related to the principles of business and life.”

My boek oor die ontluikende missionêre kerk is pas beskikbaar. Vra gerus by die boekhandelaars vir "Nuwe drome vir nuwe werklikhede". Die eerste klompie bladsye kan besigtig word in PDF formaat. Stuur e-pos aan nelus@ngweltevreden.co.za en ek stuur sommer die lusmaker aan. Ek hoop daar is eersdaags 'n Engelse vertaling beskikbaar. Nelus Niemandt.

About 25 South Africans toured the States late Jan. and visited very interesting writers and pastors: Scot McKnight, Rob Bell, Len Sweet and Tom Bandy amongst others.
I will give some feedback on this.
As a starting point I'd like to recommend Scot McKnight's blog www.jesuscreed.org.
