Hy het in die kerk grootgeword en was \u2019n belowende, talentvolle jong akteur wat al die verhoog met groot name in die Suid-Afrikaanse vermaaklikheids\u00adbedryf gedeel het.<\/p>\n
Heinrich Burger se vurige passie vir die verhoog is egter gou geblus toe hy met dwelms begin eksperimenteer het. Toe hy sy o\u00eb uitvee, bevind hy hom in die Kaapse middestad waar hy rondgeswerf en met bosslapers uitgehang het.<\/p>\n
Sy ouers het egter nooit moed opgegee nie en vir hom bly bid. <\/p>\n
Hul gebede en dit van die kerkmense is verhoor en vandag is hy \u2019n pastoor wat aan hoof staan van die Bethesda Pinkster Gemeente in Worcester.<\/p>\n
Burger (37) van Avianpark in Worcester skryf die positiewe ommekeer in sy lewe toe aan sy Hemelse Vader. <\/p>\n
Burger, \u2019n pa van vyf seuns, het in die Riverview-woonstelle in Worcester grootgeword. Volgens hom het hy in graad 11 begin sigarette rook, waarna dagga en toe tik gevolg het. <\/p>\n
Hy s\u00ea \u2019n onderwyser by Bre\u00ebrivier Senior Sekond\u00ear, waar hy skool gegaan het, het sy dramatalent raakgesien en hom by die skool se dramagroep betrek.<\/p>\n
Volgens Burger het hy saam met groot name in die Suid-Afrikaanse vermaaklikheids\u00adbedryf opgetree by onder meer die Suidoosterfees en Montag -Jeugfees.<\/p>\n
Hy s\u00ea sy dwelmverslawing het daartoe gelei dat hy belangstelling in drama en skool verloor het. Burger het skool verlaat toe hy nog in graad 11 was. Dit was die begin van sy dwelmhel. <\/p>\n
\u201cBy tye het ek gesteel om geld te kry vir dwelms. Ek wou ook nie onder gesag staan nie. Ek was baie aggressief in die huis, veral wanneer ek onttrekkings gekry het. <\/p>\n
\u201cMy ouers wou dan nie h\u00ea ek moet die huis verlaat nie. My aggressie het gemaak dat ek al halflyf by my kamer op die boonste verdieping van ons woonstel uitgehang het \u2013 net om uit te kom.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk was vuil en het gestink. Ek het nie omgegee hoe ek lyk nie. Ek was vervalle, verwaarloos en het soos \u2019n kopbeen gelyk.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hy s\u00ea sy dwelmverslawing het so erg geraak dat hy later nie meer hoog geraak het wanneer hy tik gebruik het nie. <\/p>\n
Volgens Burger het hy kort hierna die pad Kaap toe gevat om by sy een tante te gaan woon. Hy s\u00ea die tante het moeilik met hom begin raak omdat hy nie gewerk het nie. <\/p>\n
Dis toe dat hy in die Kaapse middestad beland het, daar rondgeswerf en met bosslapers uitgehang het. Hy s\u00ea in daardie stadium het hy nie meer dwelms gebruik nie, omdat hy \u201csoos \u2019n siek hond\u201d gevoel het wanneer die dwelms uit sy liggaam trek. <\/p>\n
Burger s\u00ea hy het baie na sy ouerhuis verlang en het dit op \u2019n dag reggekry om sy ma te bel.<\/p>\n
Hy s\u00ea op 31 Oktober 2010 het een van sy ander tantes, wat in die middestad woon, hom op \u2019n trein terug Worcester toe gesit.<\/p>\n
In Januarie 2011 het hy sy vrou, AnnaMarie, ontmoet en in 2013 is hulle getroud. Kort n\u00e1 hul troue het hulle hul harte vir die Here gegee. Volgens Burger was hy vir drie jaar \u2019n jeugleier. <\/p>\n
Burger s\u00ea toe hy in \u2019n stadium werkloos was, het hy verskeie aanlyn vaardigheidskursusse gedoen, wat hy suksesvol voltooi het. Hy het intussen ook sy matriek voltooi en werk vandag vir Vector Logistics.<\/p>\n
Verlede jaar is hy georden tot pastoor. \u201cEk glo dis net die genade van die Here en gebede wat my tot hier toe gedra het asook die ondersteuning van my ouers, vrou en kinders. <\/p>\n
\u201cBaie mense kan hieruit leer. Daar is altyd hoop,\u201d het hy bygevoeg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
