A privilege to be on board!

It is a great privilege to be on board the Rosebank team.

As a family we are very excited to see God at work in the hearts of young people over this next season of our lives. Some of the things I am passionate about are sport, the bible and young people desiring to follow hard after Christ. My prayer is that God uses these passions to build his kingdom. As the Head of Business Science at St Stithians Boys College it was sad to leave the boys and staff, but we are extremely excited to see God at work in what he has set before us.

Since I came to know the Lord 10 years ago I have always had a desire to go into full time ministry and when this opportunity arose I prayerfully sought the Lord with the counsel of trusted friends and the call committee. Step by step I sensed God leading us in this direction.

My vision for the Next Generation is to glorify God by building long term labourers for Christ, both in schools and the city through the process of discipling a few men and women who in turn will disciple others. I long to see God raise up faithful labourers, men and women, boys and girls who in the future plant churches, love their spouses, raise their children and run their companies in a way that glorifies God. Hopefully through vibrant corporate gatherings, Christ-centred preaching and the growth of multiplying labourers God will be gracious enough to use the Next Generation and a church like ours to become the spiritual hub for Africa and instrumental in finishing the Great Commission. I look forward to and am honoured to be a part of such an exciting adventure.
