I cannot forget the moment of 9 June 2001 from 09:30 in the morning up to 14:00 in the afternoon. During that time my whole being experienced the presence of God as He gave me the instruction: "The job you are doing is too easy, go and create jobs." With the words came the vision of the unemployed people of Africa. The burden was extremely heavy upon myself and it became unbearable to face the vision (which I saw with my eyes open).
 
I closed my eyes and turned to face another direction. As I opened my eyes, the instruction became audible again: "The job you are doing is too easy, go and create jobs." Again the vision was visible and again the burden came heavy upon myself.

The cycle kept on repeating itself from 09:30 until 14:00 in the afternoon.

The next event happened during November 2006. I was lying in bed one evening, having a relaxed conversation with God. Suddenly God said: "Riaan, if I allow you one last request, what will it be?"

I replied: "God, then I will not ask for a new car, as it will be my last!" "Yes, but will it be?" God asked. Suddenly I remembered the life of Solomon and thought by myself that a noble answer would convince God to bless myself. In my best effort I could not find a noble answer and I replied: "I do not need anything. May I please request something on behalf of somebody else?" To this God replied: "What if that person does not want what you request?" Suddenly the atmosphere became totally serious and I said: "God, you are serious!" "Yes", He said.

"God, I know what it is. For the rest of my life, I only wish to do your will!" The moment I said it, the whole of Southern Africa exploded in a vision with red dots and red lines linking the dots together. I immediately understood the vision.

The vision is a network in Jesus Christ that will create jobs all over Southern Africa!
