Imagine


One winter morn in 1976, a group of young people led an uprising in one of the townships in Soweto, South Africa. The protest was bound to change the whole South African education system. Both young and old braved the circumstances that surrounded them, their aim was ONE - - to effect a revolutionary change in society. Whenever South Africans think of this year (1976), the still image of young Hector, Antionette and Mbuyisa is brought to mind and it does nothing but brings tears to the conscientious eyes.

It took a group of young people to effect a change in society; the outcome could have been different had they not decided to do something. Imagine a group of young people, adults and children leading a revolutionary uprising activated by their love for God and for their fellow man. Imagine a revival of primitive godliness in their homes and neighbourhoods, in schools, in churches and various institutions. Imagine the wave of change in your Province, Parish, Country or State. Imagine!

“And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.” Isaiah 58:12

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world..." ~Margaret Mead~
