Deon Varcoe said he was grateful to God that he and the helper escaped unharmed.
Durban pastor Deon Varcoe recalled how he prayed and called out to Jesus, while two men held him and his helper at gunpoint, robbed him of his belongings, and then fled with his bakkie on Wednesday.
Varcoe said he went to collect sand from a business premises on Simla Road, Merebank, just after 10am.
“I drove into the yard and switched off my bakkie (a Nissan NP200). Both me and the young man who was assisting me, jumped out. Our backs faced the road.
“A few seconds later, I heard someone ask, ‘how’s a job?’ I turned around and saw two young men at the yard entrance. I told them there was no job and that things were bad.
