My Eastern Cape Journey: A Circle of Grace
Sixty years ago, I began my first year of school in East London at Grens Laerskool. Little did I know then the journey God had in store for me. I recently discovered that Grens Laerskool has since moved and become Ooskus Primary, while the original building is now Inner City Primary. On our recent mission in East London, I had the privilege to visit these schools again—places I hadn’t seen since I was a little girl. It was as if a beautiful circle had been completed.
When I first walked those halls, I didn’t know God. Life led me down many roads, and at times, I wandered far from Him. But by His grace, He brought me back, restored and renewed. Now, returning as a missionary to the place where my life began, I am overwhelmed by how God has written this story. His love has brought me from a past of brokenness to a life of purpose, calling me to share His message with others.
To anyone feeling lost or separated from God, remember that He is always there, ready to welcome you with open arms. I’m living proof of His grace and His ability to turn even the most unlikely journeys into a testimony of love and restoration.
