A monthly column on purpose, passion and power in Jesus. Are You trusting God for what You really, really want? Or are you asking for “just enough”, believing that’s probably as much as you’ll get? I spoke with a friend the other day. She told me how, all her life, […]

I’m not scared of storms any more — Hannah Viviers
When I was a little girl I was terrified of storms. Why? You may ask. Because in my mind storms meant Jesus was coming, and if Jesus was coming chances were He was going to leave me behind. So whenever a storm would come I would be in my room, […]
Christians, elections and the God of miracles — Hannah Viviers
A monthly column on purpose, passion and power in Jesus. Every night, before we go to bed my daughter and I ask each other what our favourite part of the day was and which was the worst. Last night when she asked me, I, of course, wailed about the frustrating […]
Relentless soul-winner Reinhard Bonnke at Loftus stadium next week
Hear the name Bonnke and simultaneously most of us hear the declaration “Africa will be saved!” Reinhard Bonnke might have bid farewell to steering the ship at Christ for All Nations (CfaN), a ministry he started, but with his fiery passion for spreading God’s salvation, it may come as no […]
Weighty thoughts on New Year’s resolutions — Hannah Viviers
A monthly column on purpose, passion and power in Jesus. Just as the word “resolution” is almost synonymous with “New Year” so is “weight loss”. Yep, January is usually the month many people “resolve” to lose weight and get fit. The bulk of us making this resolution want to lose […]

A monthly column on purpose, passion and power in Jesus. A few weeks ago I wrote about the challenging time we’re facing as a country. However, I’ve also felt that in the midst of those challenges there’s a great opportunity for those who will dare to dream big. Whenever we’re […]
God is for you — Hannah Viviers
A monthly column on purpose, passion and power in Jesus. It’s hard to ignore the many challenges we’re going through as a country. A lot of people in South Africa are scared right now. For good reason. The majority of the conversations I’m having with people, regardless of their cultural […]
Our responsibility to avoid media hysteria — Hannah Viviers
A monthly column on purpose, passion and power in Jesus. Do you remember the time the “news” of Joyce Meyer’s death spread? “News” in inverted commas because it turned out to be a hoax. A hoax that who spread? Christians. I know, it sounds like I’m being harsh, judgemental. But […]
Breakthrough and belief — Hannah Viviers
A monthly column on purpose, passion and power in Jesus. “Hope for the best, but expect the worst.” It’s a line I’ve heard before, in different ways. I believe it’s probably the number one reason we don’t consistently experience the breakthroughs we hope for. This week I’ve been thinking a […]
