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!

Daily coffee

Most married couples greet each other in the morning with a “good morning my love!” In our home my husband has an unusual way of starting the morning. His first words are most of the time: “Whose turn is it?”

You see we take turns to make the first, early cup of coffee. Without exception we drink a cup of coffee every morning in bed. It is so part of our morning routine and I can’t imagine going into my day without it.

Most people have coffee on a daily basis. Take away their coffee and they will be grumpy the whole day.

Maybe you don’t drink coffee, maybe you exercise every day or maybe there is something you eat without exception every day. Can you say the same about the time you set aside for God?

David said it so clearly:

Psalm 1:2-3(NLT)
 2 But they delight in the law of the Lord,
      meditating on it day and night.
 3 They are like trees planted along the riverbank,
      bearing fruit each season.
   Their leaves never wither,
      and they prosper in all they do.

If you meditate on the Word of God every day, you will be like a fruitful tree and everything you do will prosper!

Make time with God a daily thing – as daily as your cup of coffee. Because without it, we simply cannot go!

Shalom!
Anina
