Psalm 69:30 I will praise God with a song; I will proclaim his greatness by giving him thanks. (GNT)

Dear warriors, wow, what a journey it's been together! From our humble beginnings in the house at Forest Drive, La Lucia, to the present 3 Sunday services at 1 on 1 Gateway Shopping Centre. You are so precious to Him and to me. My heart bursts with song and thanksgiving to God at the faithfulness of all of you at Destiny. I thank God for those who stand together with me as trustees of this heavenly vision received from Him. I thank God for all the precious staff that remain so true and faithful. I thank God truly for all the precious cell leaders who carry the burden of the Pastoral care together with me. I thank God for all of you who set up the stage, sound, lighting, chairs, run the slideshow and control the air con every Sunday morning; and then take it all down again, long after the last congregation member has gone to bed.

I thank God for those who have heeded the call to minister in our children's Church month after month. I thank God for every Bible College student who has counted the cost to become a disciple. I thank God for every Covenant Partner of Destiny who continues to receive the precious Word of God on Sunday together with their families. I thank God for all the contributers that are making this work of God such an awesome experience. I thank God for those who take care of the financial integrity and monetary dynamics of a Sunday service. I thank God for every intercessor who takes up their cross and lays down their life for their brothers and sisters. Thank you!!

Everyone of you is so special, precious and valued. It is such a privilege to pray for you. Without the sound man their could be no service. Without the band we would not experience the presence of God to the magnificent degree that we do. Without the security it would be so much more difficult to enjoy the service knowing we are all safe and someone has our children's protection at heart. Without the precious warriors who stand at the door with their sweet smiles and gracious hellos the meetings would be less warm. Without all of you there would be no Church.

Truly His grace creates our place. You are all important to making our spiritual experience on a Sunday a rich, warm, kind and loving encounter; not to mention the climate created for His joining us. Every one of you is needed, valued and appreciated in your attendance to create the platform for yet another equipping experience that takes us all to the place of greater maturity. True Christian maturity is never measured by how long you've been a Christian, but rather by your behavior. I continue to marvel at the hunger burning in your hearts for more of Him; your celebration of the Prophet has encouraged me more than you will ever know. Thank you!!

I glow with the anticipation of a long and fruitful association with you, as together we advance the Kingdom of the King. As human beings we are all members of the human race and yet God places us in a family unit. Once we call upon His name and receive forgiveness of our sins and reconciliation to our Creator, we become members of the Body of Christ and yet God places us in a household of faith. As the one who carries the paternal care and responsibility of watching out for your souls in this part of the Body of Christ, thank you for making Him and I proud. I am just a small part of the whole, so remember, the part is never greater than the whole. You are important to Him and us. We love you more than you think!

Your servants,

Marc and Mickaëlle

Dear Marc and Mickaëlle, it has truly been an amazing joy, experience and awesome adventure for us as individuals but also as a family. We remain speechless when we consider the work God has been doing in us and many others through you and the gift that you are to the Body of Christ. It is our turn to thank Him and you for being so faithful and so inspiring. Our walk with Him has been challenged and transformed. Our heart has been changed by the ongoing work of the powerful Word we receive freely sundays after sundays. Our vision has been tremendously sharpened by experiencing His mighty prophetic Presence here at Destiny. Words are not enough… thank you for your love, your endless support, loving mentorship and your priceless friendship…

Thank you Pastors Marc and Mickaelle! We appreciate all the long hours of prayer that you put in for us as part of the congregation at Destiny. We can honestly say that without the knowledge of your love for us our knowledge of God's love would not be so manifest in our lives. We thank the Holy Spirit for leading us to Destiny Harvest and placing us under your Spiritual authority as our teachers and pastors. We pray that we would be further inspired to rise to new levels in the prophetic under your mentorship in the future.

Ps Marc & Mick, words can never describe what you mean to us. Your guidance, wisdom, leadership and hate for the religious "for it were the religious who crucified our Lord Jesus Christ" truly transformed and encouraged us to reach out to others. Elly & I love you guys, love the prophetic and we can't wait for God's call in His perfect time! Do know that we will be there for the two of you to keep your arms up in the battle.

Pastor Marc and Mickaëlle....... you rock and so does your carefully chosen team! I literally grew up in the pews of Pentecostal churches; never before had I received teaching and an illumination of God's Word like I have at Destiny. I can 'see' as I dance in Mount Zion, that place of rejoicing and praise. I also salute the women who stand alongside their husbands and partners who have been called to serve and lead this part of the Body of Christ. Thank you for your obedience and sacrifice. Love Bren

Dear Marc, I am from Doxa Deo in Centurion and received a message from the Lord last night for you. "Although the road of a prophet is sometimes lonely and frustrating, He is with you. He will stay your friend. He will not forsake you! However difficult it is, know that there are thousands of people keeping you in their prayers. GOD is GREAT! Love Willem and family

Hello Marc and Mickaelle I have only recently started fellowshipping at Destiny and do not know you personally.However I love your vision and passion for Jesus. I know I want to make this my home.After Kevin Haviland and I closed Church On The Cormer in February I have battled to find a Church that would allow the Holy Spirit freedom and not hold "seeker friendly" meetings.God Bless you both

Hello Mr. Marc Bredenkamp, Unfortunately the Lord hasn't blessed me with the priviledge to attend one of your sevices at Destiny Harvest Centre, but i do know that my Father in heaven gives the hearts desire to those who delight in him. My name is mike workman and i am from New Orleans, La. and many times i have attended meetings at High Praise Fellowship inwhich you have ministered. You not only present the gospel in word but also in power, and i am greatly inspired by first the Holy Spirit, and second by you to do the same. I pray that God by his great streangth and infinite love will continue to use Destiny Harvest Centre to expand His Kingdom to a lost generation. You have a brother in Christ here in America who loves you and your staff. "When we see Him we shall be like Him." Mike Workman
