PUB RESTORED INTO A CHURCH - Salem Danville, Pretoria, South Africa

FROM PUB TO CHURCH

Salem Danville's first service was under a carport on the 1st of March 2009 with 6 people. We started because the people of Danville spoke a need of a Biblical, relevant and alive church.

In December of 2009 we took over an old pub in Danville and renovated it into our church - a miracle done by God! Today we minister to about 100 people, 30 teenagers and 60 children.
Danville is a poor area in Pretoria West, South Africa - unique in a sense that there is poor people of all cultures and races.

Our vision - to bring His Peace and restoration to the people of Danville. To show them that your circumstances do not dictate God's love for you. Jesus loves all, no matter who you are, what you've done, or how much money you have!

Share the joy of ministering to the poor with us in this blog!

Why I decided to blog

For so long, it has been on my heart to blog. I know this will bring meaning to my life, irrespective if this ever reach someone else. I submitted this to my Father and He just smiled.

I love Him with all my heart and I am passionate about His Word! There is nothing that can fulfill more than His Words.

My next passion is the poor of this world - to reach them with the love of my Father and make them rich in spirit.

In this blog I will share my daily walk with God as my time permits as well as our journey as the pastors of Salem Danville - a small church that me and my husband started 2 years ago in Danville, Pretoria West in South Africa. God literally pushed us into this ministry during a very deep desert. But today we know this is our passion and our calling.

Last night we had a celebration meal with 30 people of our church - a T-bone for each, a luxury for most of the people. This is our heart, to spoil them once in a while - to show them the heart of Father, not only on a spiritual level, but also on a physical level. For the next few weeks on a Wednesday, we are going to invite the next 30 people to a celebration like this, until we celebrated with all in our church. About 100 adults, 30 teenagers and 60 children.

I thank God for supplying us with the funds to really give a celebration meal with quality food!

Ultimately, we are all poor - and pastoring for the poor is for all who know they are poor in spirit, and only His presence will make us rich!

Shalom!
Anina
