Good morning Ivan.
Trust you well. I just saw your message on CMAG and just wanted to thank you for always looking out for your boeties.😎
Your messages will always touch people in different ways and even though responses might be minimal , just know that you put a smile on Gods face when you keep shining his light. May your heart always pump with joy from God.
Even though we are on different paths now just remember that you were the first person to make me realise that there is a different way of living life. So thanks again for all you did in the past. It was not wasted on me. I am a different person.
By the way, you are doing a great job on social media. Keep it up.
I’m continuing to engage with my PMBS boeties and we continue to push with our ministry to assist the community that we surround ourselves with.
It’s all about God and it’s all for his glory.
All the best for 2025. God bless you. I hope we can meet again sometime in our journey of life.
Ivan is truly an inspiration. Hands on with the right advice, Ivan prepared me to face my fears and start my own business. He is still checking in day to day to coach me in this new venture. I was stuck in the mud about to lose everything. But he guides with advise the can be applied practically. Thank you Ivan!
Thank you Dmitri, I am thankful to be part of your life journey, as you live your purpose In His Majesty’s Service. May God Bless, Guide and Keep you in all your ways
Hey Ivan. There is much need out there in a world of confusion and fear and distraction and hopelessness. What God has specifically called you to, put in your heart, this message of hope, His Word, His Equipping, to encourage others, to become stirred up motivated and direction with His purpose for their lives is for such a time as this. I pray that hearts would open to receive, doors would open where you would be invited nationally and internationally to share The Good News of His Hope and His Love. God bless. Rod

Excellent and potent Word based encouragement!

Charles van Onselen
Thank you for your kind words Charles. My aim for writting Life Coaching Through Scripture is exactly this- for everyone to realize that their lives on earth is NOT by chance but rather, by Gods Master Plan Jer 29:11 Gods Plan is to Bless us and NOT harm us, Plans to give us hope and a sure future May each person find their specific purpose as they go seek for answers in Holy Scripture as they would for seeking treasure
Hi Ivan,
I trust that by the Grace of God you are keeping well. Just want to mention that it has been an incredible spiritual journey that I have undertaken in my life and I give all glory and praise to our Lord for you. Thank you for being an instrument of blessing in my life .The Bible (Scripture reflections) night sessions you so faithfully & sacrificially held for the brothers in Christ, has truly contributed to me being the spiritual head of my family that God intended for me to be.
Your recent book ” Life coaching through Scripture” is a must for all those wanting to listen to the voice of God and your book reflects how this can be achieved through prayer and Scripture.
God Bless you and your family Ivan.
Ahhh Raj thats exactly why I do what I do…hearing from you and how I was able in a small way to uplift and encourage you to be the man that God Wants you to be, to search The Scriptures, like you would for treasure and to get you to find the hidden treasures of life in Scripture, makes me happy and in awe of what God Has Given me to do- to uplift, encourage men to be the men that God Created them to be Thank you for your kind words Raj. Keep fighting the good fight of faith as you inspire other to do it as well
Ivan, what can I say about this precious friend of mine.
Many years and many trials and tribulations have been shared and carried together.
Ivan is all that he says he is, no masks or agendas, he has a genuine heart for people and how to inspire and motivate them to achieve their calling.
Many years ago, it was the regular annual occasion of my birthday.
Ivan was one of the guests and he presented me with a ‘handwritten’ letter detailing our friendship over the years.
I still have this letter and it has meant more to me than any of the other gifts that I received on that day.
Just a simple token of – its the thought that counts, rather than expensive gifts.
Blessing to you my friend.
Thank you Roy, it’s the small things in life that remain memorable for ever. Let us continue to inspire one another to focus On The Ultimate Compass of life and fulfill our purpose In His Majesty’s Service
My Testimony About Ivan
When I came to Christ, I was like a newborn baby not knowing what this really meant. Ivan was someone I had known many years before but had lost contact with. I rediscovered our connection when I joined a men’s Catholic group at my parish, where he led our Bible study sessions.
My wife was Catholic, so I went to church with her. I had been baptized Catholic when I was a month old, so I had some understanding of the religion, but found it hard to understand the Bible. Seeing Ivan there made me comfortable joining the group.
Our meetings focused on reading and understanding the Bible, and applying that understanding to our lives. My main problem was not seeing how the Bible related to my own life. I would think: “What does an episode in King David’s life or what happened to his army have to do with me?” This is where Ivan succeeded. He made me realize and understand how every word of the Bible has meaning and relevance for me and everyone.
This was about six years ago, during a time of great personal difficulty in my life. I still look back at those men’s group meetings with fondness. We were usually 20 guys, and often had heated debates. I think we all learned a lot.
My faith has grown, but Ivan and those meetings were important, even essential, catalysts to that growth. I’ve especially understood how destructive our own human will can be, and now understand and desire to live by God’s Divine Will, saying “FIAT!” (as Mary did) to God’s work in our souls, and seeing God’s love guiding all events in my life.
Michael Stettler, PhD (University of Zurich, Switzerland)
Hi Michael, thank you for reminding me of a hilarious moment when I learnt that Fiat is not a vehicle but rather a Latin term for” Let it be done”…as with Abraham s “fiat” moment – being obedient to God, by leaving his homeland and by faith going into a land he did not know. Also being prepared to sacrifice his only son although God Had Promised him that he would become a father of many nations. My prayer is, that we will be obedient to God, when we have our “fiat” moments – to do by faith what God Wants us to do God Bless you. Ivan
Hi Ive,
What I have always marveled at, is the authenticity of the Lord our God & yet the Power of His Word which is always profoundly well timed & not even the Gates of Hell shall prevail or overcome God’s Word. It is said of you & us who are Bearers & Proclaimers of His Word, “Blessed are the Feet of Him who Bring the Good News!”
You are & have been a great inspiration & encouragement to us who are purposed to be All Out for God! From the time we met as Brothers in Christ I have really been inspired to step out in the Lord & to be “Strong & Courageous, in the Power of His Might!” When you encouraged our fellow soldiers, all those years ago while on Guard Duty in their Bunkers……. in the “dead of night” to hear songs of Worship!
Continue to be a vessel of God & stop not, being, “Be Bold & be Strong for the Lord your God is with you, wherever you may go!”
May you grow in His Grace & totally rely upon His Word being in your mouth, even upon your lips!
Thank you for certainly allowing God to use you in enriching our lives by yielding to God, allowing Him to complete the Good Work that He began you ……. as, “It is written….!”
A wise person once said;”If you want to go fast – go alone BUT if you want to go farrrrr – TAKE SOMEONE WITH YOU!!
This truth, is what I have based my life on…to uplift encourage and make a difference … It is thé only way to live…if you want to have a friend – be a friend. Thank you for being a part of my journey in life Vaughan. I appreciate you
Ivan Basson has a true grasp of what pressures are facing us ordinary people. His book has managed to assist those who are under pressure and desperate for spiritual guidance.
I have known Ivan for a number of years and value his friendship and guidance.
He is just a phone call away – and if by a small chance he misses the call – his book is always nearby.
Thank you Ivan! Maybe another book on the way?
Thank you Ray. Being relevant with practical workable ideas is what people need in this upside down world we live in and I am Blessed to hear the changes in peoples lives after applying the golden nuggets found in Life Coaching Through Scripture.
