Hebron Potchefstroom - 'n Gemeenskap vol hoop, herstel en hernuwing Net so buite Potchefstroom, in die rigting van Vereeniging, vind jy Hebron, ‘n opheffingsentrum vir meer as 100 individue vir wie die lewe ‘n lelike streep getrek het. Maar dit is ook op hierdie perseel waar sommiges weer ‘mens’ word en waar Hebron vir hulle as wegspringplek dien. Foto (Hebron Potchefstroom Facebook): Inwoners en vrywilligers Stigting en die inspirasie daaragter 22 jaar gelede het Greta le Roux ervaar dat die Here vir haar sê sy moet Hebron stig. Sy het nie die nodige finansies gehad nie, maar elke keer wanneer sy haar Bybel oopgemaak het, het sy die antwoorde en al hoe meer bevestiging gekry. Vanaf die stigting van Hebron in 2002 het die Here jaar na jaar, week na week voorsien. Marius Terblanche het onlangs by Hebron aangesluit en alhoewel hy nog besig is om sy voete te vind, het die bestuur groot planne vir hom en is hy besig om dag vir dag sy verhouding met elke inwoner te verbeter. Foto (Verskaf): Herbon Opheffingsprojek ‘n Tipiese dag Die dag begin vroeg vir Hebron se inwoners. Om 05h00 gaan die wekkers af, 05h30 word ontbyt bedien en net so voor 07h00 het hulle oggend Godsdiens. Dan is dit by die ‘huis’ uit. Sommige boere in die omgewing kom laai van die mans op om hulle die dag op die plaas te help en laai hulle dan weer net so voor 18h00 af by Hebron. Dié mans wat nie op die plase help nie, werk in die groentetuine, is doenig by die varke of help met onderhoud in en om die perseel. Om die beurt is die vroue in die eetsale of help in die kombuis. Maak nie saak hoe groot of klein die taak, elke inwoner van Hebron wérk. Foto (Hebron Potchefstroom Facebook): Manne besig in die groentetuin Suksesverhaal Sukses word gemeet in terme van hoeveel vorige inwoners hulself weer kon ‘optel’, ‘n werk kry en hul lewe stadig maar seker begin opbou. Marius vertel van ‘n man wat hy by Hebron leer ken het. Dié man het vantevore oorsee gewoon en na sy terugkeer homself in Potchefstroom gevestig waar hy sy eie besigheid begin het. “Toe hy sien, toe is hy onderdeur en sit hy op straat”, vertel Marius. Hierdie man het by Hebron uitgekom en “toe het hy weer sy base”. Hy het skoon klere gehad en kon sodoende weer gaan vir onderhoude; waar hy einde ten laaste ‘n pos as ‘n bestuurder gekry het. “Dié wat gehelp wil word, word vinnig gehelp.” ‘n Hegte gemeenskap, ondanks beperkte ruimte Hebron voorsien nuwe inwoners van die basiese behoeftes, skoon beddegoed, handdoeke en ander nodige behoeftes soos tandepasta. Alhoewel, soos die tyd verloop, moet inwoners hul eie goedjies begin koop - die aanvanklike middels is net om hul op die been te kry en hul nie leë hande te laat nie. Die opset is amper soos dié van ‘n koshuis; daar is kamers wat gedeel word, ‘n gemeenskaplike eetsaal en ‘n kapel waar hul Sondae kerkdienste bywoon. Hul hele lewe moet in ‘n kas en onder ‘n bed pas, terwyl hul ‘n kamer met vier of vyf ander inwoners deel, so die spasie is maar beperk. Ondanks die beperkte ruimte, bevorder dit 'n hegte gemeenskap onder die inwoners. Getroude paartjies het hul eie kamers en die ander mans en vrouens bly apart. So entjie weg, is Immanuel - ‘n selfsorg kampterrein waar geestelike en kerkkampe aangebied word. Foto's (Verskaf): Die fasiliteite en landskap by Hebron Uitdagings wat julle in die gesig staar Daar was geen huiwering toe Marius antwoord “krag” nie. Die kragrekening is elke maand ‘n astronomiese bedrag. Alternatiewe, goedkoper oplossings is alreeds in die pyplyn - hulle het donkies aangeskaf en beoog om dit binne die volgende week te koppel. Die geyser trek die meeste krag, so dit is die grootste uitdaging; veral gedurende die wintermaande. Hulle kyk ook daarna om sonpanele te installeer, indien dit enigsings finansieel moontlik en haalbaar gaan wees. Toe voëlgriep tref, het hul hul weeklikse eier donasies ook verloor en alhoewel hul baie varke het, kan ‘n mens nie die heeltyd varkvleis eet nie omrede varke die gifstowwe wat hul inneem in hul vet stoor - wat verbruikers dan eet. Die plan is om die volgende varke te verkoop en ‘n bees of ‘n paar skapies te koop en indien daar genoeg geld is, so paar hennetjies ook. Só raak die gemeenskap betrokke Enige en alle skenkings en donasies is welkom - van kos tot haarrekkies. ‘Alledaagse’ items wat ons as vanselfsprekend aanvaar, het Hebron inwoners nie noodwendig nie en word dit opreg waardeer. Hul grootste behoefte is tans matrasse. Op die oomblik is daar ‘n paar haarkapsters wie so een keer ‘n maand die inwoners se hare kom sny en opknap. Daar is ook ‘n dame wat een keer ‘n week kom kunsklasse aanbied, maar indien dit op iemand anders in die gemeenskap se hart druk om hul tyd te kom gee, is hulle meer as welkom. Marius bly in die dorp, die Hebron bussie kom daagliks in dorp toe of die gemeenskap kan donasies by The Go-To Guy se kantore aflaai en ons sal sorg dat Marius dit ontvang. Jaarlikse projekte en geleenthede Daar is regdeur die jaar geleenthede en gebeure waar hul finansies probeer insamel en die gemeenskap blootstel aan wie en wat Hebron werklik is en doen. Daar is die 4de Mei ‘n Fietswedren en Pretloop. Daar is ook sprake van Crossfit geleenthede wat hulle graag sal wil aanbied - daar is meer as genoeg spasie. Besoek gerus The Go-To Guy se Events Calendar om op hoogte te bly van hierdie gebeure en meer inligting oor ander fondsinsameling projekte te kry. Aanhoudende, veranderende behoeftes Gedurende die pandemie, het die Here aanhou voorsien. “As daar ‘n behoefte was en hulle het gebid, het daar uitkoms gekom.” Hebron pas aan by veranderende behoeftes deur die groentetuine op die perseel, aangesien die prys van vars groentes en gewasse so drasties toegeneem het. Dit is ook een persoonlike doelwit wat Marius wil verwesenlik by Hebron - dat hulle baie meer selfversorgend word. Die toekoms van Hebron lyk helder, met planne vir selfversorging en volhoubaarheid wat die pad vorentoe baan. Terwyl die sentrum bly aanpas by die veranderende behoeftes van sy inwoners en die wêreld rondom hulle, bly een ding konstant: die verbintenis tot die herstel en bemagtiging van diegene wat die meeste nodig het. Foto's (Hebron Potchefstroom Facebok): Hebron spog met pragtige groente wat hul self kweek Elkeen het hul eie storie Marius het al menige male rylopers opgetel wat op pad is Hebron toe. Hy vertel van een man wat hy opgetel het wat al die pad van Witrivier, Mpumalanga af gekom het - hy het net van Hebron gehoor en besluit dat dít is waar hy moet uitkom. Hulle huisves mense van Witrand, Hope Again Recovery Centre en diegene wat uit die gevangenes gekom het en dalk sukkel om weer by die samelewing in en aan te pas. Daar is inwoners wat 18 jaar al lank reeds Hebron ‘huis’ noem, ander is al vir 15 jaar ‘n inwoner, so daar is nie ‘n afsnypunt wanneer inwoners die perseel moet verlaat nie. Op enige gegewe tydstip huisves Hebron tussen 100 en 120 permanente inwoners. Marius het selfs al ‘n oproep vanuit Australië ontvang wat namens familielede skakel. Alhoewel Hebron vol is, probeer hul so veel as moontlik mense akkommodeer. Daar is aansoekvorms wat ingevul moet word voordat individue ingeneem kan word. So vinnig soos wat ‘n plekkie oopgaan, so vinnig word dit gevul. “Ek sien nooit dat daar beddens oop is nie”, ‘n hartseer realiteit. Hou kop bo water Daar is ‘n hele paar inisiatiewe soos veilings, fondsinsamelingsprojekte, donasies en gebeure soos Pretlope en Fietswedrenne. Hebron het hul eie sisteem in terme van betaling; die inwoners betaal ‘losies’ van net so oor die R1 000. In ruil daarvoor kry hulle drie maal per dag kos, ‘n veilige en warm slaapplek en die nodige behoeftes. Sondae “hang hulle ‘n bietjie uit” en kry lekker kookkos én nagereg. Econofoods sorg ook dan en wan vir skenkings. Deur die jare het Hebron bewys dat dit meer as net 'n fisiese ruimte is; dit is 'n gemeenskap waar liefde, sorg, en ondersteuning die fondament vorm. Van Greta se onwrikbare geloof en Marius se toewyding tot elke inwoner se persoonlike groei, tot die gemeenskap se vrygewige bydraes, saam vorm hulle 'n kragtige sinergie wat lewens verander. In die woorde van Marius, "Elke ou het sy eie storie," en by Hebron kry elkeen van daardie stories 'n kans op 'n nuwe hoofstuk. Dit is nie net 'n plek van skuiling nie, maar 'n fondament vir 'n nuwe begin. Terwyl die son sak oor die rustige landskap van Potchefstroom, bring dit 'n belofte van 'n nuwe dag by Hebron, 'n dag vol hoop, herstel en hernuwing. Johané van Dyk - Potchefstroom

Vinc's Se Dinge – 'n Kykie na Hul Groei en Innovasie Vinc's Se Dinge is nie net 'n gewone besigheid in die landbousektor nie; dit is 'n storie van visie, harde werk, en 'n diepgaande verbintenis tot die gemeenskap. Dit alles het in 2004 begin toe Vincent Judd 'n klein onderneming gestig het wat hom aanvanklik besig gehou het met die koop en verkoop van landboutoerusting en skrootmetaal. Maar soos met enige groot suksesverhaal, het Vinc's Se Dinge vinnig begin groei, en dit het vereis dat die onderneming na 'n groter perseel van 18,000 vierkante meter moes uitbrei om aan die toenemende vraag en voorraad te voldoen. Van 'n Droom tot Realiteit: Die Leierskap van Conrad Viljoen In 2022 het Vinc's Se Dinge 'n nuwe rigting ingeslaan toe die Judd-familie besluit het om te emigreer. Conrad Viljoen het die leisels oorgeneem en het die onderneming na nuwe hoogtes gevoer. Onder sy bestuur het die maatskappy nie net voortgegaan om plaaslik te bedien nie, maar het hulle ook hul grense oorgesteek deur landboutoerusting aan buurlande te verskaf. Innovasie aan die Voorpunt: Hul Eie Reeks Toerusting Die begeerte om voortdurend te innoveer het daartoe gelei dat Vinc's Se Dinge begin het om hul eie toerusting te vervaardig. Vier jaar gelede het hulle 'n nuwe hoofstuk in hul besigheid geskryf deur snyers en hooimakers te ontwikkel wat wissel van 1.2 meter tot 2.1 meter. Wat hierdie produkte uniek maak, is hul aanpasbaarheid – kliënte kan kies watter kleure, lemme en ratkaste hulle verkies, wat 'n persoonlike ervaring skep en verseker dat elke stuk toerusting perfek by hul behoeftes pas. Vertroue en Kwaliteit: Die Ruggraat van Hul Sukses Die sukses van Vinc's Se Dinge is nie net te danke aan hul kwaliteit produkte nie, maar ook aan die sterk verhoudings wat hulle met hul kliënte opgebou het. Met 'n fokus op betroubare diens, uitstekende naverkoopondersteuning, en 'n persoonlike benadering, het hulle 'n lojale kliëntebasis geskep. Die maatskappy se verbintenis tot veilige en betroubare transaksies versterk verder die vertroue wat kliënte in hulle het, wat 'n deurslaggewende faktor in hul voortdurende sukses is. 'n Doeltreffende Verkoopproses: Hoe Dit Werk Vir diegene wat belangstel om hul gebruikte toerusting te verkoop, het Vinc's Se Dinge 'n eenvoudige en doeltreffende proses ingestel. Dit begin met die stuur van 'n foto van die produk, gevolg deur 'n ontmoeting om die toestand van die toerusting te evalueer. As dit aan die vereistes voldoen, maak die maatskappy 'n aanbod en koop die produk aan. Hierdie eenvoudige driestap-proses maak dit maklik vir kliënte om vinnig en sonder moeite van hul toerusting ontslae te raak. Vinc's Se Dinge het bewys dat hulle nie net kan oorleef in 'n mededingende mark nie, maar ook kan floreer deur aan te pas by veranderende omstandighede en deur voortdurend innoverend te wees. Hierdie besigheid gaan verder as net die koop en verkoop van toerusting; dit dra by tot die opbou van 'n gemeenskap en die versterking van die landbousektor in die Noordwes en daarbuite. Met 'n fokus op vernuwing, vertroue en kwaliteit, bly Vinc's Se Dinge 'n pilaar van sukses in die plaaslike industrie. #TheGoToGuy #potchgazette #stroomstories #businesstalk
