It is eQuipping time again! For those who
attended previously, no introduction is needed. Being eQuipped to face the new year with all its challenges - a wonderful opportunity. eQuip brings together young and old. This results in a rich time of sharing and learning. It is good to see so many sparkling eyes at the end! This year we are hearing a message of hope - hope, not because reality is ignored, but rather: Hope, knowing full and well what the challenges are, and having tools to deal with them. The topic “Hope and a Future!” Day 1: The Cause of our mess Day 2: Look at the mess! Day 3: Mess-age of hope! The presenters Bishop Horst Müller Pastor Dr Gertrud Tönsing Pastor Dr Detlev Tönsing Pastor Hugo Filter Guest speakers The aim of the retreat is six fold: • Bible Study - getting to know the Bible and it´s background better. How does the Bible speak to this topic? • This year we will also give some tools for leading a bible study back home. • General Knowledge - getting current information on the topic. • Sharing with fellow Christians in small groups - hearing from others how they view issues, and sharing your own opinions, insights and concerns. • Fellowship - an opportunity to get to know people from all walks of life, enjoy each others company, afternoon outdoor activities, and evenings of fellowship, from laughter to meditation. • Worship - time for singing, praying, silence. • Time to relax - the program allows time for relaxation, meditation and recreation. The Venue DSH Hermannsburg, KZN The climate during that period can range from warm (above 30°) to cool and misty (12°) - so a range of clothing is necessary to cater for this spread. There is ample playground for children as well as a half-Olympic size swimming pool, tennis courts and beautiful hiking or mountain biking opportunities.
