Redeeming the 'Broederbond' in Wellington

Today I am out at a Christian camp site, called 'Bergkroon', it is a gem! An incredible modern, spacious, well equiped camp site just outside Wellington - it's no surprise that it is beautiful, it used to be the headquarters of the 'Broederbond' (the Afrikaner version of a secret society, like the Free Masons). The Boederbond built this facility in the 1970's (I guess from the style of the architecture).

It has now been bought by a Christian group who have prayed throughout the premises, prepared it and got it all set up for Christian groups to use for their camps and weekends. In some senses one could suggest that what was intended for evil has been redeemed for good!

Just take a look at this setting. Isn't it incredible?

  • Oh never mind. I looked at the photo before looking at the title. But it does look like the other side of Helderberg a bit.
