BOBBY VAN JAARSVELD QUEUES FOR WATER

Over the Easter weekend, the Afrikaans crooner posted a snap on his Facebook account of himself filling up a bucket from a water truck in his residential area

He captioned it: “As KZN is flooded with so much water our town has now been without for 5 days and we are standing in queues to get water”.

Bobby used the experience as a metaphor for his Christian faith.

He continued: “Then I just realised again. Thank you Father that we do not have to stand in queues in the Spirit for the Living Water! We can choose this everyday and get it right away. Thank you for what You have done for us. It’s all about You”.
