About Ds. Marthinus Postma

in Wikipedia, die vrye ensiklopedie

Ds. Marthinus Postma (Zwolle, Nederland, 14 Julie 1855 - Fordsburg, Johannesburg, 26 Julie 1926) was predikant, onder meer die eerste Gereformeerde predikant aan die Witwatersrand, en professor in die Gereformeerde Kerke in Suid-Afrika

Postma was die vierde en jongste kind uit die derde huwelik van die grondlegger van die Gereformeerde Kerk in Suid-Afrika, ds. Dirk Postma op 11 Februarie 1850 met Ida Sijpkens (†30 Maart 1857). Sy ouer broer, ds. Petrus Postma, was eweneens 'n Gereformeerde predikant en sy voorganger as literariese professor aan die Gereformeerde Teologiese Skool op Burgersdorp. Hulle het Nederland saam met hul vader, wat toe 'n wewenaar was ná die dood van hul moeder die jaar vantevore, op 22 Mei 1858 verlaat en sit op 9 Julie voet aan wal in Simonstad. Die gesin bly net 'n kort ruk in Kaapstad, waarna hulle na Durban vertrek omdat die predikant se eintlike bestemming Transvaal was, waarheen die 1858-sinode van die Christelike Afgeskeie Gereformeerde Kerk in Leiden hom gestuur het om ondersoek in te stel na die godsdienstige toestand van die Nederlanders se volksgenote in die Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek.
