What If You Said Yes
I said Yes, and here we are, 7 years later.

Welcome to Africa-Arise. It's not perfect yet but I do see and believe that through my journey in building this God-Given vision, I will inspire the right people.

My Name is Dr Aurea Jansen Van Vuuren (Dth) and when this journey started, I never would have thought that it would be like this. Let me share where my head is at with all this and let's see what gets revealed. So, I am a Christian and I do not care about the back-lash I will receive from it and for taking only Christians with me, but I can. It's my business, my prerogative.

In 2017, my mom was admitted into hospital for bronchitis and while she was in there, she had a discussion with God, where He revealed His plans for her life. And that, you can say, inspired me to also seek Him and find out how I fit into the story.

Yes, I asked the question "What was I made for?"

And without disappointment, and as the Gentle Father that He is, I was revealed my mission, only a piece because He knew that that was all I could handle at that time. As the years went by and every single thing that I got myself involved with, I knew, carried some purpose. Whether it be a job, people i surround myself with, series that I watch, knowledge that I gain. I mean I even trained myself to see the "bigger picture" with the games that I played on my phone. Because Romans 8:28 carries a promise.

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." - Romans 8:28

What if, one day, you were minding your own business and then all of a sudden you get asked a life-changing question by the Creator of all things and you genuinely say "Lord, use me, make me, mold me - I give my life to You - I choose Yes!" Then of cause every waking moment is shaped and shifted so that you can look like more of Him and His Plan for you. Oh, Don't you know that you were chosen before the foundation of the earth?

"According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved." -Ephesians 1:4-6

I am not going to say that the journey was easy, but I guess that is when you as a child need to go into your quiet place and have fellowship Creator to creation. This is where He sustains you, where He gives water to drink and bread to eat and life to keep on going - because one day, in absolute perfect timing, your light will come and oh how I would love to be there the day when you shine in all your glory. It's going to come. My God is not one to lie. When He gives a promise, it might not look like what you expected and definitely not when you think it's the perfect time for it to happen - but it will come. Trust in the One who knows and sees all things. Trust in Jesus Christ.

Africa-Arise is a God-Given mission concerning the True Church of God in Africa. Without saying much about the how, I do see that it will be possible to revive Africa to the beauty it should be. It's actually amazing, when I think about Africa, I actually see a woman, absolutely gorgeous, and she carries this sound of drums. That's why, in my videos that I have created, I always try to get those African-drums. Because it is our sound. We should be proud of it.

I am also coming with a team that is going to shake nations. And I also believe that every single person who I do meet will somehow somehow fit into the puzzle as well. Yes, I said Puzzle. Oh. My Secret to life is that everyone has a secret to life, and it's up to us to puzzle pieces together to live the best life we can live. That's how I got to this point - By putting the puzzle pieces together.

Turns out that I can't really say much about my plans with this business as it's not really time to release everything yet, but I wanted to make a first blog. But for now, we have 2 service businesses that can be presented: Fire Freelancing and Golden Africa Networking Community.

Fire Freelancing is a Graphic Design and Website Business. Our Target Market is SMME's because we feel that marketing your business should be affordable. Please feel free to have a look at what Fire Freelancing has on offer.

Golden Africa Networking Community. My name is Aurea which means Golden, The Dream is for Africa, and one day I heard the words "Networking Community". It took me a while to navigate what I need to do with that but we have found that there is a need for like-minded business men and women of God to come together and connect. My vision for this is to become a close-knit community, where zoom meetings are a delight, where low-cost in-person meetings are successful and you go home feeling empowered, full of knowledge and hope.

It's end times, we really have no time for beating around the bush, or taking offense or nonsense that is really aimed to kill, steal and destroy. It's time that the True Children of God stand up, seek God and fulfill their destiny in the earth. Who cares about the rich cars and houses and etc. If anything, this last while has shown me how corrupt the system actually is. Where the fat cats just get fatter and believe you me, you don't want to be where they are. Comfortable living is what we all deserve. Everything that we need so that we don't need to stress.

I saw a video of how the new American-Dream is to have a veggie garden, land and you go off the grid and self-sufficient as possible. "It's no more keeping up with the Jones but rather Farmer Joe." I mean, he is not wrong. The last 2, maybe 3 generations really changed everything.

Imagine if every household had a veggie garden, could eat healthy, and drink healthy, the way God intended - what a beautiful world it would be. But now days, you can't even trust rice because that is plastic too. Like, really?!

Rise up. I'm daring you to rise. That is my heart, that is my song, that is my mission and my goal in life - is to encourage you to rise up and be who you need to be in the earth. We are waiting for you, we are waiting for your yes.

Imagine if you said yes

Awaken the Possibility

Africa - Arise!
