In Johannesburg woon Oom Eric (66), 'n voltydse evangelis onder die
uitgeworpenes. Hy het die pad gekruis van 'n ou man van 80 wat deur sy
kinders verwerp en finansieel bedrieg is. Hierdie man was terminaal en
bedlêend in die agterbuurtes van Hillbrow. Oom Eric het dit sy taak gemaak
om vir maande die ou man daagliks te versorg en met die Evangelie te
bedien. Toe die ou man sterf, het hy as kind van die Here in Oom Eric se arms
heengegaan. Daar is baie voorbeelde van sy onbaatsugtige ywer vir die
saak van die Here en die sieleheil van sondaars. Hy het hom ook ontferm oor
'n weeskind by beskutte arbeid, vir wie hy sorg en huisvesting bied.
Oom Eric was onlangs op die Geldenhuiswisselaar-snelweg (tussen
Alberton en Germiston) in 'n motorongeluk betrokke. Hy was onskuldig,
maar sy voertuig is verfrommel. Hy het nie geld om die wrak te herstel nie en
ry dus nou met die skedonk sonder ruite in die reën na sy sendingveld!
Kan iemand asb. help met 'n voertuig? Dit kan maar 'n ou model wees,
solank dit darem net redelik betroubaar is. Baie dankie. Mag die Here u self
oortuig van die meriete van die saak. Skakel my gerus of kom sien my tuis
indien u meer inligting verlang. Hannes de Villiers (018) 294 5556.
