In September 2018, Dr Des Sinclair (International Evangelist) was ministering in the Winelands area of South Africa at a Men’s manna camp. (All races of men were present at this camp). The Holy Spirit while he spoke stirred the men in different ways, followed by salvations and powerful prophecies!
A group of Xhosa men from Mbekweni who also attended, were desperate to have an event in their community as well.
The prayer and worship meeting was then organised for the 2nd November 2018, to be held at the Mbekweni Sports Centre. Busses were also arranged to accommodate all other people groups coming into Mbekweni Township from other places. Everything was planned and ready for this night. However, four days before the meeting was to commence, the organising committee received warning letters of unsafety due to taxi violence.
After receiving these warning letters, the chairman of the committee contacted Dr Des Sinclair to ask for his advice in the situation at hand. The chairman was told by Dr Des to take the letters and information they had been given and take them to the local police commissioner of Mbekweni for confirmation and their advice, if there was truth behind this.
The police then advised the chairman not to go ahead with the meeting in the township, as they had also heard rumours regarding the same as the warning letters. The prayer and worship meeting was then moved to the town of Paarl to be held on the same date.
Buses were arranged to bring the people from Mbekweni to the alternative event, in order to still take hands as a rainbow nation and pray to God to restore and heal our valley in Jesus name.
At the meeting all people attending entered into worship together, which brought the presence of God down very strongly. People began to feel healing in their bodies. There was also a powerful sense that spiritually we had broken through, and that demonic forces had been broken over the area as everyone prayed in unity together with one voice, standing on the word of God.
The police commissioner of Mbekweni Police department invited the chairman a few days thereafter to attend a planning meeting for a new “Community Prayer meeting against violence” in Mbekweni. It was said: “WE NEED THIS – ONLY GOD ALONE CAN HELP US”. The Holy Spirit stirred the Chairperson of the Winelands Police Cluster Forum, Mr. Mziki, to go ahead and arrange this event, with the same goal in mind.
Different community leaders from the Local Municipality, Correctional Services, taxi associations and Police department attended the planning meeting. All were desperate to see less violence in the community!
It was decided by all attending to host a new open prayer meeting in the township of Mbekweni, in the Mbekweni Indoor Sport Centre on 2nd December 2018. The Winelands Police Forum initiated the Divine Intervention Prayer gathering in order to ask God to stop the violence in the valley. Miraculously God also had placed the same need on the hearts of other groups in the Drakenstein valley, including a group of pastors from different congregations!
The result was a very well attended week of fasting and prayer by church leaders before, leading up to the community gathering on Sunday 2 December 2018.
During the week of prayer and fasting, Dr Des Sinclair addressed the Pastors and their wife’s upon their responsibility as church leaders. He said that they hold the keys through God’s word and through unity to bring order and change over their communities. He also preached on biblical revival and stated that it can only brake forth if church leaders will first look inwardly at themselves, repent and realign their thinking from self centeredness, building their own kingdoms and seeking after material gain and power.
The police forum invited all taxi associations in the region to come and also be part of this initiative on the 2nd December. The taxi associations in the area were all very cooperative to join in and be part of this event, and even offered free transport from different locations to the venue, also putting advertising posters all over their taxis in support. God was indeed faithful and taxi violence has decreased dramatically according to the Winelands police since this time.
On December 2nd 2018, a very well attended crowd of all races of people were involved attending the meeting, both taxis and busses were made available to transport people in from all directions, towns and townships. People travelled from all over different parts of the Western Cape to attend the meeting and be involved.
Guests of honour included: high ranking police officers, correctional service officers and church leaders from Mbekweni/Paarl/Wellington.
Reverent Mourris from the department of Correctional Services opened the event with a very strong emphasis on the power of prayer, and why we need to earnestly pray to God to bring some change. Afterwards pastors then lead all into prayer against violence in 3 different languages, together with Spirit filled Praise and Worship!
A very powerful message was brought by Dr. Des Sinclair. His message was mostly focused on the power of unity. (Using the tower of Babel in Genesis 11 v 5-6 as an example).
But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. The LORD said, if as one people, speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
Gen. 11 v 5-6
Dr Des also encouraged the church to not fear the future of South Africa, but rather stand on God’s Word, and love one another. He said that “when there is unity between all cultural groups – God commands a blessing”.
There was much joy and excitement after the meeting, with all races dancing with each other and having very high spirits. We could truly celebrate ‘divine unity’ in our rainbow nation as we danced together, prayed together, prayed for the police, the government, the local communities etc.
Amazing testimonies are already streaming in on what God has already done in the community since the 2nd Dec.18 EG: ( new salvations, cancer tumours’ gone, stroke victims healed, healing from drug addictions, major decrease in crime over the local community ) to name just a few.
The police department has released the following formal declaration: “The Service was really a success and it made an impact in reduction of crime in Mbekweni Police Precinct. Ever since after the Prayer Service, no Taxi Violence, Murders or any other Serious Crimes were reported at South African Police Service Mbekweni. So we encourage you to this in all other Areas of South Africa which are being affected by Crime every day.”
It was such an inspiration to all who attended the meeting on the 2nd December that Pastors immediately decided to meet together again to plan the way forward in 2019 in order to carry the flame of hope to a larger community. They decided to officially come together and hold a special prayer meeting on the 19th January 2019 for all Pastors and church leaders (all are welcome to come and be involved). Please phone Pastor Stofile 0725613136 or/ Mr Johan Fouche 0822220841 for more information regarding the meeting on: 19th January 2019
All glory to God for his true “Divine Intervention”.
We believe this is only the very beginning, and are expectant in God and trust Him to bring further healing to South Africa through Revival as we come together standing in unity in Jesus wonderful name!
