When God delivered his people from their oppressors in the Exodus, he was not only giving them freedom, but he was also rescuing them so that they may rescue others. The marginalised, the poor, the widows, the orphans, the blind and the lame.

N T Wright speaks about how we easily fall into the trap of thinking that as Christians we have been saved by Christ from this evil world or those in the world that are opposite to us.

“He did not want to rescue humans from creation any more than he wanted to rescue Israel from the Gentiles. He wanted to rescue Israel in order that Israel might be a light to the Gentiles, and he wanted thereby to rescue humans in order that humans might be his rescuing stewards over all creation.”

In our modern context, we are not saved from broken people or those who are antagonistic towards us. We aren’t saved FROM interactions with those opposite to us but TO them. We are called out to be rescuers to them.

I came across this beautiful commissioning prayer that I hope is meaningful to you at this time:

Lord, we know that you call each of us out.Out from ourselves into a world that is longing for your grace, love and truth.

In our community, are people who need to experience your grace.

In our nation, are people who need to experience your love.

In our world, are people who need to experience your truth.

We are your people Lord and you have called each of us out,

To be the visible You in this worldAs you work in the hearts and lives of all

people and nations.Bless us Lord as we go,

As we go into our community, our nation and world.

Let us not ignore your call, but rather plant it deep into our being.

Amen

MR. KEN LANGLEYPrincipal

Mariela Romanelli, a Grade Three learner of The King’s School West Rand, was crowned Little Miss South Africa 2020 on Saturday 12 October 2019. Mariela received numerous prizes but the prize that stood out the most was a fully paid trip to Hollywood California, where she will represent South Africa at The World Champion-ships of Performing Arts 2020. This prize is worth a whopping R 85 000.00. Mariela is also no new learner to the world of pageantry, and although she is only 9 years old, she already has a long list of accomplishments. Just to mention a few: · Toddler and Tween 2017 (winner of various sections);· Miss Mad Rage Winner 2017;· Miss Junior Province Overall 2018;· Miss Province Gauteng 2018;· Little Miss Elite South Africa 2018;· Miss Million Dollar 2018;· Little Miss Randfontein 2019; and now also· Little Miss South Africa 2020

Mariela is also constantly involved with charity work and if you ask her why, she will reply “to give makes me happy and it’s better to give than to receive.”If you spend a couple of min-utes in Mariela’s presence you will soon learn that she is passionate about serving others and a true advocate for a cause. Mariela is also a talented actress and dancer and has been invited to perform at both RACA as well as the National Eisteddfod Academy Showcase evenings.We are so proud of you Mariela!
