Wou jy nog altyd predikant word? Ek het altyd gedroom dat ek medies gaan studeer, maar in die middel van my matriekjaar in 1985 in Rustenburg, het ek die diepe oortuiging gekry dat ek predikant wil word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wanneer het jy Caledon toe gekom en waar was jy voorheen? Ek het in 1993 in Goodwoodpark begin. In 2004 is ek Saldanha toe en van 2012 af was ek in Caledon, waar ek die eerste keer \u2019n hoofsaaklik landbougemeente ervaar het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vertel \u2019n bietjie oor jou tyd hier in Caledon? As ek \u2019n opskrif aan my tyd hier moet gee, dan is dit \u2019n groot stuk dankbaarheid vir twee kollegaskappe met Jannie Hougaard en Dewald du Toit \u2013 dankbaar oor hoe ons lewens verryk is deur di\u00e9 gehaltemense; die gasvryheid; die omgee; die hartlikheid. Dit sal my altyd bybly. Dit is seker ook die grootste deel van \u2019n mens se verlies dat \u2019n mens moet afskeid neem van \u2019n klomp pragtige mense. Ek is dankbaar oor die afgelope vyf jaar se pad rondom dissipelskap; oor die Koninkrykstaal wat Dewald en ek vir die gemeente kon leer. Ek beskou dit as genadetyd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wat was van jou hoogtepunte hier in Caledon? Gewis die oorgangstyd om saam met \u2019n kollega sy bedieningspad te kon afsluit en om saam met \u2019n ander kollega \u2019n nuwe bedieningspad te kon begin. Ek dink ook dat ons eredienste kindervriendelik geword het. Klein kindertjies voel tuis in die gemeente. \u2019n Groot hoogtepunt was dat ons \u2019n nuwe kerksaalsentrum kon bou. Dit is iets wat \u2019n enorme uitwerking op die gemeenskap het. Hierdie saal moet groot waarde vir die gemeenskap toevoeg. Dan het ek ook kosbare vriendskappe gesmee wat lewenslange vriendskappe sal bly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jy begin in 2022 as leraar by die Stellenbosch-Wes-gemeente. Hoe voel jy daaroor? Ek is om verskillende redes opgewonde om Stellenbosch toe te gaan. Om op 54 jaar \u2019n nuwe geleentheid te kry, beskou ek weer eens as genadetyd. Ek ken Stellenbosch nie eintlik nie, maar sien uit daarna om nog \u2019n nuwe stuk verryking te beleef. My nuwe begin daar word ook weer \u2019n geleentheid vir \u2019n nuwe begin hier vir iemand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wat is jou belangstellings\/stokperdjies? Ek hou van bergfietsry en speel graag gholf. Ek is baie lief vir tuinmaak, want ek voel ek kan my daar uitleef. Ek hou ook van lees \u2013 nie net as stokperdjie nie, maar om as dominee my brein fiks en denkend te hou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wat is jou boodskap aan die Caledon- gemeente? Ek wil hulle herinner hierdie gemeente is deel van die Here se Koninkryk. Hy is die Hoof. Hy bly die Hoof. Hy is getrou en Hy sorg. Ek gaan met \u2019n ligtheid in my gemoed en met \u2019n lekker hart hier weg. Dit gaan eintlik oor dankbaarheid \u2013 dankbaar vir die genade om deel van hierdie familie te kon wees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Dewald du Toit, medeleraar van Februarie 2016 af, s\u00ea: \u201cDit was vir my heerlik om skouer aan skouer die Here te kon dien. Ons het baie lekker saamgewerk. Ons het verskillende persoonlikhede, en tog gaan dit oor God. Hy is \u2019n kollega en vriend wat ek baie gaan mis, maar die lekkerte is dat ons steeds kontak sal kan hou. Om in Caledon te kyk waar ons die Here se liefde kon bring, was gewis \u2019n groot voorreg.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Cornelia Crocker, terreinbestuurder by die Moederkerk, s\u00ea: \u201cEk en Marinus het baie goed saamgewerk. Hy was altyd bereid om te help, veral as ek vrae oor die tuin of terrein gehad het. Ek gaan hom gewis mis, maar die Here het \u2019n doel daar met hom in Stellenbosch, en ek gun hom dit.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n \n Brian Oliver, wat baie nou saam met Theron by Heidehof gewerk het, s\u00ea: \u201cMet \u2019n gesig wat altyd skitter, \u2019n bre\u00eb glimlag en \u2019n hand wat altyd uitstrek om te groet en te gee \u2013 s\u00f3 sal ek ds. Marinus Theron onthou. Sy leefstyl en nalatenskap is gevestig in Caledon se gemeenskap, en dit is vir ons om dit deel te maak van ons leefwyse en Christenskap. My groete en se\u00ebnwense vergesel hom, sy gade en hul gesin.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ds.
