The Unbreakable Spirit of Lawrence de Wet

Lawrence de Wet grew up in Heidedal, Brookslaan, with a sparkle in his eye and a contagious smile. Raised by his single mother, who worked tirelessly to provide for her three children, Lawrence's early life was filled with love, support, and community.

As he navigated adolescence, Lawrence found solace in soccer and cricket. His natural talent earned him recognition, and for a moment, it seemed like the world was his for the taking. However, fate had other plans.

Lawrence fell into the wrong crowd, and substance abuse consumed him. His mother tried to warn him, but he was too far gone. He stole from her, broke her heart, and watched as his life spiralled out of control.

At his darkest moment, Lawrence was consumed by suicidal thoughts and felt utterly alone. A devastating injury during an Easter soccer game left him hospitalized and unable to play sports.

In that hospital bed, Lawrence had an epiphany. He realized he needed to change. With newfound determination, Lawrence checked himself into the Victory Outreach Center. With his mother's support and the center's staff, Lawrence slowly rebuilt his life.

He discovered a new sense of purpose, attending church, reading the Bible, and praying regularly. After six months, Lawrence emerged stronger, wiser, and more compassionate.

Alongside Jakobus Booysen, they started their own cell group, Kairos Restoration and Training Rehab Center to help others overcome addiction.

Today, Lawrence is a beacon of hope. He teaches kids soccer, reading, and runs a support group every Friday with Jakobus for those struggling with substance abuse. His story showcases human resilience and transformation.

Lawrence's passion for helping others led him to Africa, sharing his story and providing support. With upcoming trips planned, Lawrence continues spreading hope and redemption.

Lawrence's journey reminds him of faith, family, and community's power. He knows he's not alone, and countless others struggle to find their way. Lawrence wants them to know there's hope, no matter how dark life may seem.

If you're struggling with addiction, Lawrence's story reminds you that you're not alone. Reach out, attend their support group, or visit the rehab center. Let his journey inspire you to find redemption.
