Mission field

We are very excited that two folk, who have been associated with us for a number of years, have heard and responded to a call from God into the mission field.
Melikhaya Mqulwana is a Local Preacher in our church and has served in various capacities. He has responded to a call from The Order of Christian Service (OCS) to go and pastor a church in a very poor rural community in Limpopo. He lives off a very basic stipend (living allowance) and continues to visit, pray for the sick, preach, and care for all in need in that community.
He has commited himself to serving there for this year as he has heard a call to the ordained ministry within the Methodist Church of Southern Africa and will be candidating soon.
If you wish to communicate with Melikhaya you may contact him on:mqulwanaministries@yahoo.com
Estelle Pretorius served God and this church for a number of years, particularly in our youth and young adults ministries. Estelle taught Teen Church, was involved in the Youth Group and Young Adults Bible Study and was very actively involved in our 40 Days of Purpose Campaign.
Estelle is a teacher by occupation, and has recently studied further in the field of remedial teaching. She has felt a call to put this training and her gifts together by serving God aboard the Mercy Ships. The ships travel to places of great need and have volunteer doctors and medical staff onboard who provide ongoing care for various communities.
