Momentum for transformation is building… We’ve written before about Erlo Driemeyer and Walk in the Light, a ministry not far from Estcourt, here in KwaZulu-Natal. You may recall that Estcourt is where the police broke up and arrested members of a human sacrifice and cannibalism ring. It is a community steeped in Zulu superstition and tradition.

We’ve seen Walk in the Light grow under the leadership of Erlo Driemeyer who faithfully established a training base over 5 years ago. Since then Walk in the Light has done much to bring tools for holistic transformation to that area. Our role has been to encourage and support Erlo in his Farming God’s Way extension in the area and work with leaders that he identifies as potential trainers. This has given us the chance to visit numerous times and develop a relationship with some of the community members.

There is a Zulu leader at Walk in the Light, his name is Bonginkosi which means “thanks be to God!” Erlo identified him as having great leadership potential. As well, because he is older, respected and capable, Bonginkosi was put in charge of the gardening project at Walk in the Light while he was still processing his own beliefs.

We were pretty excited to hear that Bonginkosi was coming for more training in September. In fact, it was our privilege to work with Bonginkosi at the International In-Field Mentoring (IFM) week here in KwaZulu-Natal. He was on Dan’s team. Bonginkosi showed wonderful engagement during all of our training sessions and this engagement led him to take a profound step of faith. From that moment on, his demeanour has lifted and his heart has expanded for others around him! Bonginkosi smiles now — there is a joy about him that is contagious.

So back in September because most people at our training site at IFM were fluent in English, we trained in English only. There were a few there, however, whose English was weak, and as a result were missing some of what was being taught. Bonginkosi was busy ‘backfilling’ for those few – answering questions, reiterating the main points, etc., in isiZulu. We didn’t ask him to do this – Bonginkosi simply saw a need he could fill, and got on with it. What a joy to see!

Back in Estcourt, Walk in the Light has been working for the last number of months to start a milling operation. The idea is to give the community an opportunity to grow their maize and soybeans, and have their harvest milled at low cost to add value to their saleable product.

Well, after much fundraising, many meetings and a bunch of infrastructure work — concrete pad and steel container modification and installation— the mill is up and running (see Facebook Video). There was a dedication ceremony and celebration at Hamba Ekukhanyeni in November, and we were privileged to attend. Erlo asked if Dan would represent Farming God’s Way, and say a few words — which he was happy to do.

We celebrate with Walk in the Light, and with the people of that area (it’s called Ntabamhlophe “White Mountain”- try saying it!). We pray that the mill is a well-used and maintained resource in that community for many years to come, and that it becomes a powerful tool in alleviating the extreme poverty of that valley. And we applaud the leaders like Erlo and Bonginkosi for being faithful in using their gifts to transform a community. We love walking alongside and serving people with such vision and determination.
