Why would anyone want to give up a career that took him years to build, and provided good income and security?
Why would anyone leave their land of birth, family and friends, and venture into a strange land with so many unknown factors and insecurities?
The Gerber Family, Chris, Karen, Natalie, Wayne and Melissa, did just that. We left South Africa in 1995 to settle in the United States of America.
This book is firstly about our country South Africa. We were born in a land with many diversities and struggles. We inherited one of the most hated forms of government in the world and the difficulties of correcting it.
Then we share with you our dreams, visions, goals, and the deep waters we were prepared to go through to reach them.
It took us 25 years to achieve our goal. We had our dreams, and it all finally came together for us. Keeping our eyes focused on God and allowing Him to guide and direct us, turned out to be the best strategy that anyone could have. He blessed and tried us, yet we always knew that He was in control and there was nothing we could do other than to trust Him and let Him know that. We still do today.
We are not perfect human beings, and have many sins and shortcomings. God is Almighty, and as weak as we are, we believe in Him and have laid our weaknesses at His feet and trust Him with our souls.
The Gerbers live at 20661 AL.Hwy 117, Ider, AL. 35981. Our phone number is 256-632-9157. If you, the reader, would like to talk to us, we would gladly share our experiences with you and maybe, just maybe, we can help you understand how real God is.
