A Dove in the Clouds over Pretoria... • Every Sunday morning I am currently walking all around Pretoria with a large red cross, dressed in white overalls, to make people aware that they should run back to Jesus and go back to church. The red cross symbolises that Jesus Christ paid the full price for our sins and the white overalls are because He has washed us white as snow – there is no condemnation for those in Jesus Christ.

Ferial smiles. She feels like being placed by streams of water. New streams, as she is displaced. Her situation is far more challenging than the life her family was used to. “But now I feel peace, inner peace,” she says.
