My name is Heather de Bruin and I am a born again Christian , I had a long spell where I had lost the Lord in my life and after a rather devastating divorce , followed closely by an equally devastating relationship I found myself crying out to God!!
This journey started about 2 and a half years ago and quite honestly my life has never been the same again. I had to surrender all my earthly goods in the beginning of this journey such as my home , my business and I had to relocate and move back in with my parents after being independent for more than 16 years , this was no mean feat. However I had been pleading with God for a sign , a word …. anything, and I woke up one morning with God’s voice clearly telling me that ‘ it is over!’ and so after asking I found myself fulfilling my promise and obeying the Lord……plans had to be made!
Whilst on this journey I felt compelled to go back to church and had just found a place to worship and now I was to relocate….. As soon as I had settled I started to search for a spiritual home suited to me and sent by God, I did not have long to wait. I had been driving past a church called ‘ Life Changers Church’ and had on many an occasion said to my mom that I would like to start at this church , after much coercion of my mom ( she is not yet saved you see , but this is with God ) the 2 of us attended a service , I was shy , struck by how loud and feverish the worship was , impacted by the powerful message from Pastor Wally Gerstmeier but most of all ‘ I WAS HOME!!’ and so I have never left.
It has been 2 and a half years now and I have grown immeasurably , I have
attended a Divorce Care Course and managed to let go and forgive …
choosing to move forward in the Lord. I have studied parts of Community
Counselling at Cornerstone Institute with an eye on working in the
community in the future, I have been water baptized and am faithfully
walking my way through life with God as my guide. I know have my own home again (by God's grace) and am growing in my spiritual walk daily.
It is on this journey that I have discovered a passion for the underprivileged, abused and abandoned children… I have such great vision for the Foo Foo Club , that in the future we will be able to provide toys not only for a few homes and places of refuge in Cape Town , but later in the whole of South Africa and eventually moving into Africa. God has placed this vision within me and I am truly blessed that He will not let me rest on this vision.
I hope that you can find it in your heart to donate supplies and materials and/or sponsor a doll.
Lets share God’s love one hug at a time
