angus buchan's biography The title ‘Faith Like Potatoes’ came from a famous American lecturer who used to tell his students that they needed faith like potatoes. He meant that their faith needed to have flesh and needed substance. As Hebrews 11:1 says, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not yet seen.” Angus Buchan not only had faith like potatoes, he had faith for potatoes as well. Angus, not a university graduate, public speaker or celebrity, but a farmer, managed to gather a crowd of thousands of people into a stadium to hear him speak and to join in prayer for rain.
The El Nino drought of the late nineties had resulted in complete devastation for local farmers, coupled with that they were worn out from having to deal with violence on a daily basis. Farm murders had become common place and people were afraid for their lives. They were desperate and needed a miracle. Angus looked at the mix of black and white faces in the crowd, then uttered: “To hell with El Nino! We are going to plant this year! And we are going to plant potatoes.”

Dear Friends, All Hands On Dec Friends is working on an exciting new project: BUSY BOXES!
Dear Friends, Fred Lebow complained to his doctor that he lacked energy. His doctor advised him to take up running in order to increase his stamina. He fell in love with it! He was 39 years old when he entered his first race and did horribly. He beat only one other contestant…a 72-yearold man. But he loved it! Fred decided what he really wanted to do and he did it in his spare time. He joined the New York Road Runners Club and organized New York City's first marathon race. But what Fred truly wanted to do, even more than run, was to bring people together. And that is what he did. He believe that anybody should be able to run - people of all ages, any background, professional or amateur, and of any country. Today, more than 28,000 people of all backgrounds and nationalities compete in the NYC Marathon. Not everyone in New York was excited about people running through their neighborhoods. Fred was approached by a youth gang that warned him that nobody had better run through their turf. "That's great," Fred enthused. "I need
someone to protect the runners in your area, and you look like just the fellows to do it." He gave them each a hat, shirt and jacket and that year, when the marathon went through their neighborhood, these young men proudly guarded the runners along their way. Fred decided what was truly important to him and he found a way to do it. He lived with intent. That single decision made his life remarkably different. In 1990, Fred Lebow found he had a brain tumor. In 1992 he ran his final race. He crossed the finish line holding the hand of his friend and Norwegian Olympic medalist, Grete Waitz. A bronze statue was created of Fred in his running clothes, checking his watch. It is now placed at the finish line of every race. Fred died in 1994. But as one sports writer said, "Fate handed him a short race. With his gall, with his love of life, Fred Lebow turned it into a marathon."
When I was little, my Mom would make them for me when I had to go to hospital and I would literally chase her home so that I could open up this little box filled with all kinds of interesting goodies. We need help collecting odds and ends to make the BUSY BOXES to hand out to the little people in the oncology wards at the local government hospitals in Cape Town. We are going to put together a wonderful collection of stuff to keep the hands busy and help to pass the time while in those beds waiting for treatment and for healing. Please pass this request on to all your work colleagues, because many hands do make light work, and you will be amazed at what you can dig up at home.
We need the following please:

angus buchan's biography during a church service at the Greytown Methodist Church. What is very striking in the story is the contrast between the miracles and the hardships that seemed to happen.
He went back to his farm, hired two extra farms and planted potatoes in the dust. If the crop had failed he would have lost everything that he had. Angus clearly expected a miracle.
When the Lord called Angus to start preaching and to share the Gospel, Angus acted in obedience and soon he started getting calls from all over South Africa inviting him to preach to farmers. His faith grew with every campaign and with every miracle that he experienced.
Angus is from Scottish decent and is by nature a very fiery character. Before he came to know Jesus, he often clashed with his farm workers, especially Simeon Benghu, his foreman. After selling his farm in Zambia, at a ridiculously price, he had very little money to buy a farm in South Africa.
Then, just as you read about the miracles and think that nothing could go wrong in the Buchans’ lives, a tragic accident on the farm shook their family. This was an incredibly tough time for everyone at Shalom, but God is always faithful in bringing His peace in times of need. Even at the lowest point in his life, Angus remained faithful to the Lord.
They purchased a farm without a house and had to live in a caravan for several months. Jill was 6 months pregnant and they already had three other young children.
A wonderful part of the story is the fact that today Angus and Simeon Benghu are real brothers in Christ. After 25 years Simeon is still Angus’s foreman and as Angus says: “His children are mine and my children are his.” Angus and Jill soon decided that their faith needed to have feet, and when they discovered the needs in their community, they opened their farm to 24 Zulu orphans. These children had no parents or homes so Angus and Jill decided to raise them as their own.
The change in Angus came when he gave his life, his heart, his family and his farm to Jesus
Today two of Angus’ daughters, Robyn and Jilly, help to run the children’s home. His children are just as dedicated as he is, and his two sons, Andrew and

Scientists had warned the farmers not to plant that season unless they had irrigation and Angus knew very well that he didn’t have irrigation. Planting potatoes would be a massive risk. He prayed and prayed and knew that the Lord wanted him to plant potatoes.

in-&-around-the-home Building a new home begins long before the foundation is poured. To avoid costly mistakes during the construction process, start with these five important steps. As you move from dream house to real house, be sure to ask questions and share your progress on our architecture forum. Plan Your Budget - Begin now to think about how much you can afford to spend and how much your new home is likely to cost. Chances are you will need a loan so find out what size loan you qualify for. Also, knowing the approximate costs will help you modify your building plans to meet your budget. Whether you are building your home in the country or a holiday home at the sea with sweeping ocean views, you will need to investigate factors such as soil condition, drainage, zoning and building regulations.
a VVD Projects story ... THE CREST, DURBANVILLE – BY ROB & LOUISE The story of how we eventually chose VVDProjects projects is a relatively long one. The short version is that we did not make it easy for them. In the last three years we have seconded to London twice for 13 and 15 months respectively. Prior to moving to London, we had purchased our house, but not had the finances, or the time to really develop the back garden. We simply put lawn down so that the garden would not be a dust bowl. It was between these two secondments that my wife saw one of the Vvd project bakkies and wrote down their contact details. This started a two year discussion with PJ around what it was that we were hoping to do, and when we were hoping to do it. In the past two years PJ must have prepared somewhere between 5 and 10 complete quotes for us. The scope of the project has changed multiple times, and the time frames have been juggled around by our sojourns back to London. In the end we wanted two things. 1) We wanted someone who would manage the project in its entirety. Neither of us have the time or expertise to organise and manage contractors. 2) We wanted someone who we felt we could trust. We had heard so many nightmare stories of builders and landscapers that we wanted to do our best to find someone who had developed a reputation for honesty and integrity. We contacted two other organisations to provide quotes for us. In both
You'll need a team of experts to design and construct your house. Key players will include a builder, an excavator, a surveyor and a architect. Many homeowners begin by selecting the builder or contractor. That pro then selects other members of the team. However, you may also opt to hire an architect or designer first. Many new homes are built on ideas seen in a magazine or from a previous home or just ideas put together. The builder may make minor modifications in room size, window style or other details. A custom-designed home, on the other hand, is created specifically for the family which will live there. In most cases, custom-designed homes require the services of a licensed architect. Whether you opt for a stock or a custom design, you will be wise to choose a plan that will meet your needs for many years to come. Be sure to get a written contract which has been signed and dated by both the builder or contractor and the architect or designer. A contract for new home construction will describe the project in detail and include a listing of all the parts to be included in the house. Remember to amend the contract if you or your team make any changes to the project later on.
how much I am paying for the builders outside portaloo. Something else that really impressed us was that the team never seemed to tire from discussing options with us. We have never built a garden before. We have ideas, we have seen things we like, but we have no idea if they can work together.
The team from Vvd projects seem to be going out of their way to minimise the impact of this on us as much as possible. At the end of the day, they actually take the time to clean up the site. In the end, the decision to choose Vvd projects was relatively easy. When choosing to entrust someone with your landscaping or building work, ask for references. VVD Projects had no trouble providing us with references and examples of their work. Based on our excellent experience so far, I can see why.

This is where the team has been great at getting along side us and trying to understand our vision. They offer great advice, but at the same time, they are very careful not to quash our ideas. One of the things that we have noticed is that they are very respectful of the fact that we live here. Building and landscaping is a messy affair at the best of times.

Moisture in the air can actually be bad for your health. It can aggravate conditions like arthritis and rheumatism. On top of this, recent research has shown that high humidity causes an increase in house-mites, which increases the risk of asthma attacks. Asthma attacks are triggered by inhaling the microscopic droppings of dust mites. What is not so widely known is that dust mites only survive in a damp atmosphere, with levels of humidity of 60% and more. So, use your dehumidifier to remove the

Your bathroom design should be based on one simple concept; keeping it simple. Creating a visually appealing bathroom while sustaining its functionality will create comfort for your guests and your family. Hardware options are basic concerns when designing a bathroom. Faucets and spigots, as well as tubs and toilets, manufactured in a number of shapes and materials can become the centerpiece of your bathroom. Open showers are very popular and clawfoot bathtubs are always considered to be classic and attractive. By simply choosing a certain style tub, you
can create a sense of "old world" charm, or heighten your guest's sense of modernism. Evaluate privacy issues first; don't put the toilet and tub too close together. When choosing tiles, you should look for durability, aesthetic value, and a non-porous surface. After the design and production of a spaceconscious and attractive bathroom have been completed, focus on decoration accessories to bring out personality and individualism. The bathroom should be a comfortable and private room. Keep your bathroom clean, functional and simple.

This will ensure that the couch will always be sheltered and people seated in it will always feel warm and “cumfy”. If there is limited space available in the room, make sure that the furniture that you select is not too big or bulky. Instead of purchasing a sofa set as a complete unit, consider rather

buying separate parts that can be joined together or placed on their own. The main couch should always face the main entrance to a room. If you are standing outside of a room looking in, the couch should be one of the first things that you see. Finally, opt for modern couches with soft, curved armrests and sofa tables with rounded edges. These create a relaxed, supportive and open living room atmosphere.
No matter what type of couch you have, whether it's an oriental futon or a retro artwork; you'll need to know how and where to place it in order to get the most out of your living room.

Die geleentheid vind Saterdag 3 Oktober van 17:00 - 22:00 plaas. Dit is een dag voor die volmaan. Die son sak om 18:50 en die maan kom net voor sononder om 18:18 op. Volmaanpieknieks vind ook op Saterdag 31 Oktober en Woensdag 2 Desember plaas. Dié aandpieknieks het in die vorige somer-
seisoen ’n totaal van 1 500 piekniekgangers gelok. Volgens Isabeau Botha, kommunikasiebestuurder van die Afrikaanse Taalmuseum en –monument, is die maandelikse volmaanpieknieks goed ondersteun deur plaaslike inwoners sowel as oorsese besoekers. “Oud en jonk geniet dié aandpieknieks, omdat die monument se tuine en die uitsig vanaf die monument ’n perfekte omgewing vir ’n piekniek skep,” het Botha gesê. “Die uitsig is werklik asemrowend gedurende die dag, sowel as in die aand wanneer al die ligte by die monument afgeskakel is.” “Die piekniekgeleenthede is bekostigbaar vir gesinne, omdat ons net die gewone toegangsgelde hef en besoekers hulle eie piekniekmandjies mag saambring. Die nuwe restaurant by die monument, Volksmond, bied ook aan mense die geleentheid om hul eie piekniekmandjie te kom saamstel vanaf hulle spyskaart – jy kan dus ’n mandjie pak wat jou sak pas.”
Piekniekliefhebbers kan hul mandjies begin pak vir die gewilde volmaanpieknieks by die Taalmonument.
Toegang R12 vir volwassenes, R5 vir studente en R2 vir kinders. Geen honde of vure word by die pieknieks toegelaat nie en dit is ’n goeie idee om ’n flitslig saam te bring. Vir meer inligting skakel gerus 021- 872 3441. Foto links : Volmaan by die Taalmonument (foto deur Melinda Bonthuys van die Paarl Fotografiese Vereniging)

Beste Meneer en Mevrou Ons wil graag van die geleentheid gebruik maak om ons firma aan U bekend te stel. Ons firma DEBTCON spesialiseer in die Nasionale Kredietwet wat in 2005 in werking getree het. Ons spesialiseer meer spesifiek op die gebied van skuldvoorligting wat in omgangstaal meer algemeen na verwys word as “debt counselling”. Met die huidige ekonomiese stand van sake in SiudAfrika ervaar al hoe meer mense finansiele druk, aangesien mense se salarisse nie tred hou met die stygende rentekoerse, petrolpryse en kospryse nie. Mense bevind dat hulle skielik nie hulle maandelikse verpligtinge kan nakom nie en dat hulle begrotings eenvoudig net nie meer klop nie, maak nie saak hoe hard daar probeer word nie. Mense raak agterstallig op hulle huisverbande,motorpaaiemente, krediet kaarte en persoonlik leenings, mense maak skuld om skuld te betaal en raak eenvoudig al hoe dieper begrawe onder rekeninge en verpligtinge. Skuld kan huisgesinne vernietig en mense uitmekaar dryf. In die verlede voor die inwerkingtrede van die nuwe Wet, het mense slegs twee opsies gehad om van hierdie tipe probleem ontslae te raak, hulle kon of onder administrasie gaan of hulle kon hulleself sekwestreer in terme van die Wet op Insolvensie. Hierdie roetes, het langwerkende gevolge en veroorsaak ons insiens nie n oplossing nie, aangesien mense amper n lewenslange vonnis teen hulle bekom. Skuldvoorligting het ten doel om mense die kans te gee om te behou wat hulle het en ook om mense die geleentheid te gun om in die toekoms weer skoon te begin, sonder dat daar n klad op die persoon se naam is. Wat is skuldvoorligting presies? In terme van die Nasionale Kredietwet, word mense die geleentheid gegun om n skuldvoorligter te gaan sien indien hulle voel dat hulle nie meer in staat is om al hulle maandelikse verpligtinge na te kom nie. Skuldvoorligters is en moet geregistreer wees by die Nasionale Kredietreguleerder (NCR) en beskik oor magtiging om namens mense met finansiele orginasies en kredierverskaffers te onderhandel. Indien U n skuldvoorligter gaan spreek, moet daardie skuldvoorligter eers vastel of U skuldlas oorbelaai is. Indien die skuldvoorligter tot die konklusie kom dat dit wel so is, word U onverwyld onder skuldvoorligting geplaas en geniet U die beskerming van die Nasionale Kredietwet, dit beteken dat daar nie verdere regsaksie teen U geneem kan word nie, U word die geleentheid gegun om U huis en U motor te behou, indien U samewerking gee en hou by die nuwe reelings wat U skuldvoorligter namens U tref. Die periode van U terugbetaling word verleng en U maandelikse paaiemente word verlaag, van die finansiele instellings is selfs bereid om rentekoerse te
verlaag en die doel is uit en uit om U die geleentheid te gun om weer normal te leef en voort te gaan met U lewe, sonder om elke minuut van elke dag uself te bekommer oor U skuldeisers en hoe U hulle gaan betaal en tevrede kan stel. Ek nooi U graag uit om van hierdie wonderlike Wetgewing van ons gebruik te maak veral onder die personeel wat nie elke maand by al hulle verpligtinge uitkom nie, ons almal weet as jy nie elke maand Jouself dood hoef te bekommer oor jou finansies nie dan kan jy konsentreer op jou werk en jou elke daagse take. Ons as DEBTCON kom graag uit en praat met die personeel en vertel vir hulle dat daar wel n oplossing vir hulle is ons hanteer dit ook baie privaat want die laaste ding wat ons wil he is dat iemand voor die ander personeel nie gerespekteer word nie. Ons bring vir almal n baie oulik en volledige boekie saam wat hulle kan huis toe neem want ons vind dat terwyl ons daar is en met almal praat is die vrae maar min juis omdat dit so persoonlike aangeleentheid is, met die boekie kan daar baie van hulle vrae beantwoord word. Wat die werkgewer betref, hy is geensins hierby betrokke nie die hele aangeleentheid is tussen Debtcon en die klient, niks word van sy salaris afgetrek nie, die klient betaal maandeliks self sy nuwe bedrag by die bank in. Hierdie versoek is nie net aan die werkgewers nie dit is ook aan Kerkleiers,Familie lede, Vriende en Skoolhoofde wat weet van iemand wat nie meer by al daai verpligtinge kan uitkom nie, en daardie persoon soek hulp en jy wil help maar dit gaan self maar moeilik, nou hier is vir jou n antwoord stuur daardie persoon na DEBTCON vir n NUWE begin! ONTHOU een of ander tyd kon jy ALS bekostig wat jy besit,want anders sou die krediteure dit nie toegestaan het nie, maar dit is NIE jou skuld dat jou inkomste verander het nie, en dit is juis hoekom ons regering goedgedink het om die Wet gewing so in te stel vir almal om te wen op die ou einde!!! Moenie wag tot dit te laat is nie, dit kos jou niks om ons net te kom vra wat ons vir jou kan doen hier by DEBTCON!!! Ons hoor graag van jou. Vriendelike en Bekommernisvrye Groete van,

Decide what your budget is and stick to it. Decide how many people are to attend the wedding reception, as this will influence where you can hold the reception. What type of reception do you want, formal or informal? You might not want to get married in church so it would be useful to find a venue that also has a licence to conduct wedding ceremonies too. Visit a number of venues before you decide. Find out exactly what you get for your money, ensure there are no additional charges and VAT is included.

Vyf feite oor Osteoporose Het jy dalk gedink jy het geen risiko om osteoporose te ontwikkel nie? Hier is ‘n paar feite oor osteoporose wat jou dalk twee keer sal laat dink. * Die meeste van ons weet dat kalsium belangrik is vir ‘n sterk beenstruktuur, maar het jy geweet dat vitamien D jou ook teen frakture kan beskerm? Vitamien D help jou liggaam om kalsium te absorbeer en is noodsaaklik vir beengroei. Eiers, kaas en vis soos salm, tuna en sardientjies is goeie bronne van vitamien D. * Gewigdraende oefening soos draf, trappe klim, tennis of muurbal en aërobiese oefening voorkom nie net beenverlies nie, maar volwassenes kan hul beendigtheid selfs vermeerder deur hierdie oefeninge. * Immobiliteit kan ook tot osteoporose lei. Sodra mense vir lang tye nie beweeg nie, neem beenmassa af. Indien jy dus vir ‘n lang ruk bedlêend of in ‘n rolstoel was is dit baie belangrik om The Tygervalley Eye & Laser Centre in the Northern suburbs has been providing world class eye care to thousands of patients, both local and overseas, over the past 11 years. Specializing in refractive surgery, the clinic offers the most technologically advanced equipment and theatre facilities. We offer wavefront-guided Advanced CustomVue Lasik and PRK procedures to treat myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia. It involves a personal and unique laser vision correction that is designed for each eye individually. Since no two “treatment prescriptions” are the same, improved outcomes can be expected for each person who undergoes treatment with the Advanced CustomVue Lasik system. DSAEK (Descemet's Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty) is a new corneal transplant technique where the unhealthy, diseased, posterior portion of a patient’s cornea is removed and replaced with healthy donor tissue obtained from the eye bank. Unlike conventional corneal transplant surgery known as penetrating keratoplasty (PKP), the DSAEK procedure utilises a much smaller surgical incision and requires fewer corneal sutures. This usually results in more rapid visual rehabilitation for the DSAEK patient and also better post-operative visual acuity. The latest technology used for cataract extraction is micro-incision phaco-emulsification. It is performed under topical anaesthetic, which means that your eye is numbed with eye drops only; no injections or general anaesthesia is necessary. The procedure involves a sub-2.2mm incision in the side of the cornea, through which the surgeon applies a tiny, high-frequency ultrasound instrument. High-energy sound waves break up the centre of the lens into microscopic particles, which are then gently suctioned out through the incision. The new OZil Torsional and intrepid phaco-emulsification ultrasound system provides better post-operative vision and quicker recovery due to clearer corneas. Multifocal Intra-ocular lenses are becoming more and more popular as patients who undergo cataract surgery are usually independent of spectacles for distance and near vision if they have a multifocal IOL implanted. The optical surface of the new generation multifocal
5 - 9 October ‘09 Eye Care Awareness Week intraocular lenses has a wavefront-guided design, which takes into account the aberrations of the eye. There are various multifocal lens implants available on the market, including Technis, ReStor, Rezoom, AcriLisa and Array. Some of these are better for computer work (intermediate distance), while others are better for reading (up close). Accommodating IOL's are also available. Surgeons can customise each patient’s surgery by establishing which IOL, or combination of IOL’s, is best suited to the patient depending on their individual needs. For more information about the above mentioned or any other eye procedures, please contact us at The Tygervalley Eye & Laser Centre at 021 9100 300 or info@eyelaserclinic.co.za, or explore our website: www.eyelaserclinic.co.za

vir ‘n beendigtheidstoets te gaan en om die regte leefstyl- en dieetkeuses te maak. * ‘n T-telling word gebruik om die graad van osteoporose te beskryf. Die jong volwasse bevolking word as die standard (‘n T-telling van 0) gebruik. ‘n T-telling tussen -1 en -2.5 staan bekend as “osteopenie” of lae beenmassa. ‘n T-telling van 2.5 of laer word as osteoporose beskou. * Osteoporose word algemeen met ‘n lae estrogeenvlak in postmenopousale vrouens geassosieer, maar ‘n afname in testosteroon in ouer mans kan soortgelyke gevolge hê aangesien testosteroon ‘n belangrike rol speel in die instandhouding van beenmassa. Vir meer inligting oor osteoporose, skakel die Instituut vir Osteoporose by (021) 948-9682 of besoek die instituut by die Louis Leipoldt Mediese Sentrum 2001, Voortrekkerweg, Bellville
Instituut vir Osteoporose Osteoporose kan behandel word, maar voorkom dit eerder deur ‘n verandering in leefstyl om jou beenstruktuur sterk en gesond hou!
