MACLA ( Matjhabeng Christian Leaders Assembly ): 28 Sept - 1 Oct
An assembly of Christian Leaders of our area to adress the 7 giants locally. Matjhabeng is our local municipal area - Welkom. Odendalsrus, Hennenman,Virginia,Ventersburg, Allanridge. The Sacla delegates came back last July and felt in their hearts that we should bring the same experience they had in Pretoria down to grassroots level ,here in our own area, because we are facing the same giants.

The aim is to get the Christians together for one week 28 Sept - 1 Oct. during the school holidays to come up with solutions to each and every giant. We also want to create a platform for our next generation - to say to them that we did try do something about these problems.We feel that this is a Kairos time for Matjhabeng to even have a influence in government and other institutions.

The venue is the Vista University( has a new name now)
Main speakers: Monday Night 27 Sept. Coenie Burger; Tues. Esme Bowers, Wed. Bishop Bethlehem, Thursday Annanias.
