[__ Prayer __] Member missing in South Africa

Praying this over you C....


Psalm 91

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust.
3 For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked.
9 For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.
11 For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and honor him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation.
 
Thank you Rockie, I have been and will continue to pray for his safe return.

I read an article a few days ago and that is how I found out. He was not returning my e-mails so I was worried something had happened. My heart is so very sad over this, but C trusts in the Lord for his protection, we trust in the Lord and not our senses.

A person will not find a kinder, more fruit filled brother than C.
 
Thanks to both of you.

I am so so sorry, after I started this thread, I then found out they have located his body not far from his home.

There is a racial war going on in SA, and many whites are killed for the color of their skin.

He was like a father to me and I will miss him dearly. God have mercy on us all.

Until we meet again brother.......
 
I have had many debates with him on another site, and disagreed with him many times, but I know he knew the Lord Jesus Christ. He had said he lived in a dangerous city, and I think it was Cape Town, where my church sends a delegation yearly on mission trips.

It is hard to believe that he is gone at the hands of evil men. But we who know Jesus will see him one day.

Thanks Alabaster,
He lived near Pretoria, an area known for car jackings. His vehicle is still missing.

Thanks reba,
It is a loss for many, he has an 85 year old mother and a sister living in Australia. He was loved by many brothers and sisters in Christ.
 
Sad day. :bigcry
God has promised us there will be no suffering and C is in that place now. Prayers for his loved ones, family and friends, especially his mother. An article from an Afrikaans paper translated to english.

Artist Cornelius Bosch's burnt body was found on Monday next to the Zambezi main road in the north of Pretoria.

This is in the vicinity of his home from which he disappeared on 24 February.

The newspaper : Beeld, reported earlier that his friends became worried about him because there were no signs that he left prepared to go somewhere as his Bible and toiletry were still at home... nothing was missing from his home.

Bosch's vehicle is still missing... dentistry reports proved that it was Bosch's body that was found.

As an artist Bosch was a famous for his expressionistic paintings of flowers and dramatic and classic paintings of landscapes.
 
I will miss C, not only was he my Brother in Christ, but I truly felt that he was like a real brother to me. We even used to exchange e-mail's.

I am sorry Rocky, truly I am. He was a viable member here and we will all miss his insight, as well as his loving and kind demeanor.

The words he used to describe you, reflect what you have written about him.

I met him on another site, then here, we were exchanging e-mails almost on a daily basis and when they suddenly stopped, I could not help but to worry, because of all he spoke of how violent SA is.

May we all be comforted by the Comforter.
peace-

I am so grieved to hear this. Dear Cornelius will be sorely missed. I did pray that God would allow us know what happened, and I thank Him that we do.

I know that we all can be comforted in knowing that, whatever the circumstances were, our brother is now safe with the Lord. I know we will all uplift his family in prayer.


 
I don't even know how to express in words how I feel. I am so grieved over this. He had such a beautiful spirit. I pray for the comfort of his friends and family.

The only consolation I have is in knowing He is with Christ right now, the only place he would ever want to be.

Thank you Lord for allowing me the chance to meet such a humble servant of Yours.

:shame2
 
I'm so sorry to hear this. It happens every day, and everyone has a story, but when it happens to someone we might have only brushed upon...

Tragic

It's so true, Mike. Everybody has a story...

Cornelius and I live in the same city and I’m a big fan of his work, so it hits home.

It is so hard to loose someone you love to a senseless murder – especially of something as stupid as race. We all bleed red after all. My husband was murdered a couple of years ago, and I have to admit; I’m a little emotional now.

I am sorry about your husband, you are so right, these murders are so senseless. I was not aware of what is going on in SA until I met C, and as I began to research the deaths there, and for, like you have said, the color of skin, for a cellphone or, in this case what seems like it was for a vehicle, the rest of world may not know the extent of this problem. It's a scary thing when life is so devalued.

My prayers are with you l'Chante. God bless.
