Family faith camping weekend
Last year, a Men’s Christian Camp was hosted at the Rhebokfontein Retreat just 40km from Komani. It was a small beginning, but 35 men from Komani and surrounds attended and everyone felt the camp should be an annual event and that it should be considered a family get-together.
This year, it comes in the form of a Faith Filled Family weekend in a bush camping set-up. Camping spots were on a first, come first serve basis, with ample space for visitors.
Campers are to be self-sufficient and arrive on Friday any time after 1pm to set up camp and enjoy fellowship around the camp fire.
Campers can even arrive early on Saturday, according to the organisers.
“We are blessed to have Afrika Mhlope as one of our speakers. Shawn Warren, who brought the Word to us last year, will be joining us again,” said farm owners and organisers Rose and Tony MacDougall.
“The campsite has been upgraded but there is no electricity so it is simple bush camping with no generators, but there are showers with hot water.
“On Saturday at 10am we start with praise and worship and a message from Afrika Mhlope. The afternoon session at 4pm will be led by Warren and on Sunday the service will start at 10am.”
Families are encouraged to camp in the peace and quiet on the farm or come out to join a time of fellowship and worship.
“People can bring their chairs, warm clothing and picnic or braai with the hosts. There will be ample wood and braai fires and gas cookers available to boil a kettle and make a hot cup of coffee or tea,” they said.
It was also noted that this was a non-denominational gathering. People can bring their bibles, their faith and share fellowship with fellow believers.
There is no charge for camping but a cash donation to cover speakers and other costs is welcome.
