The Beginning: This came after a careful observation of the young people being led. There was a clear imbalance between career life and spiritual life, sometimes resulting in depression and spiritual backsliding.

Vision: To create awareness and inform born-again youth about relevant business opportunities aligned with the 4th industrial revolution. To provide practical and applicable solutions and guidance for growth.

Mission: To eliminate unemployment and poverty, especially within the church, by equipping and informing youth about profitable business spheres and giving them platforms to trade and grow their skills.

Statement of Faith

The vision of this ministry is to go into every town, city, province, and country preaching the Word of God. The mission is to bring people out of darkness into the light of the Lord—teaching them who they are in Christ Jesus, our Savior.

Our History

The Assemblies of God in South Africa began in 1908. Nicholas Bhengu was a major pioneer, working with H.C. Phillips and the Emmanuel Mission in the 1930s. James and Fred Mullan also joined the movement from the Congo.

In 1940, Rev. Bhengu led a revival crusade in Port Elizabeth with many healings and over a thousand conversions. His "Back to God" evangelistic campaign spread across South Africa and neighboring countries. The movement led to widespread revival, healings, and church planting, directly influencing thousands of lives across southern Africa.
