Title: Joining the forum from South Africa
Post by: Wallaby on March 02, 2009, 12:24:52 PM: Hi Everyone

My name is Marius and it is my very first time ever joining a forum of whatever kind and for whatever reason. I am desperate to find like-minded people to have discussions with regarding Ray's Bible teachings. I would also appreciate any contacts in South Africa.

I'm glad you have joined us :)
Yes the world can be a lonely place when you start this journey. Well now you have this group to fellowship with and I do believe it will make all the difference in the world. There is always someone here it seems and all you have to do is sign in to have someone to discuss things with.

We have 3 main boards for posting, 'General' for discussions of BT topics and Scriptures. 'Off Topic' more of a fun board, but there is informative stuff too. 'Testimonies / Prayer Requests / Fellowship' this is where most of the personal stuff goes. Here are some links below to other stuff that you might helpful.

The forum rules, it will help you see how this forum is moderated.

Post by: cjwood on March 03, 2009, 03:13:35 AM: hi marius,
welcome to the forum and i know you will enjoy being here. there are three other forum members i know of that are from south africa. their avatar names are daddysgirl, kweli, and arcturus. maybe you could send them a personal message to let them know that another south african has joined the forum. i pray that you will continue to study the scriptures and read all there is to read and learn from on the bt website/forum. and, don't hesitate to ask anyone for help in anything you need help with. we are here to lift each other up and help each other as we all learn to be more like Him.

cheers from austin, texas.

Welcome :)

As Claudia mentioned, I'm also South African. I stay in the Vaal(Vereeniging) but work in Johannesburg, a lot of travelling I know! Where in SA are you? Nice to see more of us cleaving to the truth ;)

You will love it here!

Post by: smeacham on March 09, 2009, 03:54:16 AM: Welcome, Marius,

I've never been to South Africa, and know little about it. What I remember mostly is watching my All Blacks rugby team running circles around South Africa, back in the late '90s.

I'm in the States now, myself, and don't get to enjoy that anymore. But here we are, two sides of a very big globe, sharing God's Bible Truths as if we're right next to each other. Isn't God great!?

Cheers,
Steve

My email address is steve@cybersure.co.za if you'd like to drop me a line, maybe we can correspond.

I live in Pretoria & travel to Johannesburg daily (you get used to it, I think). i can almost guarantee you that amusement parks have nothing on this ride you are going to take. May GOD keep you in HIS Will.

To the list of South African in this forum that you know, add Jacob Tebogo Seboko (tebza4jesus) to it. I live, work and study in Vanderbijpark, and I am glad that more and more people from this side of the world are getting to learn the TRUTH of God's Word!

Welcome!

HI Marius and Tebza

Small world, also from the region of Vanderbijlpark. I find that fascinating and can by no means be coincidental.

Post by: Daddysgirl on April 17, 2009, 03:14:48 PM: Small world is an understatement! I live in Bedworthpark, between vanderbijlpark and vereeniging! Seems a little get-together is a pleasant possibility:-) Welcome Marius.

Hi Jassy, Daddysgirl and all South Africans,

Yes, indeed it's a small world (or as Daddy'sgirl puts it that's an understatement)! I have spoken with Daddysgirl before but never met. I know she lives near to where I live, and as she suggests a little-get-together, I am all interested.

let me know!

Post by: Amelia on March 26, 2011, 12:17:33 AM: Hi, Wallaby, it is great to read your introduction. I have never been able to introduce myself here, but I consider myself a member. I think of Ray as my pastor. If this is printed as a welcome to you, I would be surprised. I must not be doing something that I am supposed to do, that what I write does not get through. Anyway..................God bless you and welcome!...............Amelia

Post by: Vangie on March 31, 2011, 02:39:05 AM: Great to see so many new S.A. members! Just to let you guys know so you understand why Marius may not be responding--he was last active in 2009...when a poster's name is in black, that means they're no longer active in the forum. But we're all very blessed that his post initiated this recent activity and the introductions of so many new members. Welcome to our brothers and sisters!

Post by: judith collier on March 31, 2011, 09:58:58 PM: I'm just happy all the South Africans know they are not alone! Just think how God's love is so great that we can love people we just met without seeing them or hearing them, of any race, any country and even time!!!

Post by: Drew on April 20, 2011, 04:43:15 PM: Blessings Marius,

I also want to be part in the welcoming party. I identify with Amelia who apparently has been having the same problem as I and if this welcome goes through I will be as surprised as she must have been to see her welcome posted. Drew, is my name and I am delighted to be a part of this forum. It is great that you have so many of your countrymen who have come out of the woodwork; I say, you must be delighted! I also am looking for local fellowship in Colorado Springs, Colorado. If anyone is reading this welcome from that area, I would be blessed to know. I look forward to getting to know you and others in this forum! Ray's teaching, being anointed by Lord Jesus, is very special indeed; that's an understatement.

Drew
