Our Dream
Nestled in the mountain
slope of the fairest Cape, lies Kraaifonten, some 30km away one can see Table Mountain to the
south, while Paarl Rock(some 31km to the north) and the rugged Stellenbosch mountains(21km
away) guard the Northen Boundraries. Small wonder that God made a covenant with this beautiful
Kraaifontein way back in 1959.
Unaware of this covenant,
the young pastor Gustav du Toit, responded to the calling of God in 1981. He started off on
the first Sunday of 1982 in a little country style church with 3 sisters and a brother, together
with his own family as members with dreams and gave insight into the future about the wondrous
works that He had planned for them.
Due to persistent faith
in that vision, the congregation grew rapidly. Before they
could realize it, the building was
too small to accommodate them and new plans had to be made.
A 500-seater tent was bought and
erected in a caravan park that was also utilized for accommodating
the poor and needy. Conference
grounds of a certain Pentecostal denomination became available.
This 5 Ha piece of pine shaded
land, together with its 2000 seater auditorium, restaurant,
prayer room, and child and youth
facilities became home to the congregation. It has 50 single
rooms, 16 cottages and a 4 bedroom
house. Right across the road was a squatter camp (informal
settlement) where the government
has built houses - with approximately 38000 people that are
thoroughly evangelized and ministered
to.
We are trusting God to build
a City of Hope. We believe to make every believer a leader and to develop effective lives for
the glory of God.
This site will take you
on a journey to see the impossible become possible, how a vision of a man became a vision of
a church and grew to the vision of the community and now A global vision
