“God has prepared me with things in my past to be of impact now and in the future. I am willing and prepared to be of service to God this year. I am prepared to see God doing good things this year.”

― Ansie van der Merwe

“This theme reminds me of Jesus Christ's charge to His disciples, ‘Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.’ Matthew 5:16 NKJV

God will be glorified in 2025 as we do God's work His way, and never lack His supply at WSA.

The theme reminds me that I am well prepared. I am God's masterpiece prepared for good works and for His glory (Ephesians 2:10; 3:10)”

“‘Prepared for good’ means to me that we, as Wycliffe South Africa, are being prepared by God for good works. I feel that God is going to use WSA for a lot of good works. I think that we should be confident in our abilities as an organisation - I mean, we hosted the Global Gathering successfully and we have also hosted a couple of Translation training workshops. We have a lot of people who are highly skilled in their work. Throughout the last couple of years I think that we were being prepared for such a time as this. I am so excited.”

“To ensure you are always in a state of mind and heart where you are using Jesus' eyes and seeing the positive and good in others and the environment you find yourself in. Being prepared to see and do with His eyes and heart and hands.”

― Carol van Heerden

“‘Prepared for good’ for me is to say we trust You, God, with everything we do because this is Your will being done, and Your Word in Jeremiah 29:11 says, ‘For I know the thoughts that I think of you, says the Lord; thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you the end that you hope for’. With this Word we hope to expand our projects, and we feel that this is the time that we are prepared to do it with the will of God, because He says in Psalm 91:1, ‘He that dwelleth in the hiding place of the Most High, in the shadow of the Almighty shall rest’.

‘Prepared for good’ is to be prepared for all the blessings that the Lord is going to provide for all that we planned and more, so we are prepared to receive and to share the Good News with others about how great the Lord is who we serve.

We are prepared for the Jubilee year, new challenges and achievements.”

“For me, 'Prepared for Good' means being proactive and intentional in my daily life, seeking opportunities to make a positive impact and being ready to respond to challenges with resilience and compassion. This year, I'm committing to staying adaptable, fostering meaningful connections, and cultivating a growth mindset to ensure I'm always prepared to contribute my best by the grace of God.”

“A passage in scripture that is near and dear to me, after losing two close loved ones in quick succession a few years back, is Matthew 6 verses 19-21. I believe these ‘treasures in heaven’ are part of what is pre-prepared by God for us to do. Should we ever be discouraged, we should hold onto Galatians 6 verses 9-10 and remember that we should not grow weary in doing good to all people, as at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

― Joey Fourie

“For me, being ‘prepared for good’ starts with a commitment to live out God's purpose in my life. To walk in faith and love and to seek His will in my life. God has a purpose for my life and I must be prepared to fulfill that calling.

Eph 2:10 ‘For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.’

In order to do this I must prepare spiritually by keeping my lamp filled with oil through the Word and prayer, as the wise virgins did.”
