From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my worshippers, my dispersed ones, will bring my offerings. Our dear friend of 15 years' acquaintance, Claude Moller, greets us warmly, a lifeboat in this bustling, international airport. On the ride to his home in Pretoria, we catch up on family news and learn how God is blessing his various ministries. Besides heading up Family Focus, an organization that ministers to the whole spectrum of families in South Africa with provision of physical and spiritual needs, Claude has branched out as a popular motivational speaker. His challenge is to inspire hope in a nation whose identity has changed, which is losing its brightest and best individuals as they immigrate to other countries, and whose economy continues to spiral downward.
Violent crime is on the rampage in many parts of the country.
Horror stories have become part and parcel of daily conversation. Claude and his wife, Elna, the coordinator of their ministries, stand strong in their conviction of God's sovereign rule and overruling power in the affairs of men and nations in a world that appears to be crumbling before their very eyes. By God's grace, the Moller children and other Christian young people of South Africa will continue to be instruments of righteousness in their generation, not despising the hardships involved during these times of humbling for their nation. Lord God of the covenant made with Your people of old, remember Your promises to Your faithful people in South Africa. Cleanse and humble Your church where she is guilty of pride, mechanical worship, and shallow compassion.
