When I change everything around me changes. Prayer and fasting changes me. Let's get to God humbly and genuinely. #1stThings1st @My3C_

The accuser condemns, but Jesus restores. We are defined by His grace, not our failures. When others fall, may we choose prayer over gossip, restoration over condemnation, and reflect the heart of Jesus.

We had an incredible night of deliverance at tonight’s Macro Cell Meeting! Through the authority of Jesus Christ, we were reminded that the enemy does not have the final word over our lives. Jesus came not only to forgive our sins, but to set us free from bondage and lead us into a life of victory. As we surrender to Him, stand on His Word and walk in obedience, we can live in the freedom He has given us. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed!

What an incredible time we had at the G12 Free State Conference, hosted by EMI Church under the leadership of Pastors Benny and Thuli Kareli! We experienced anointed worship by Dr Tumi, 3C Live and the EMI team. We are so grateful for the powerful presence of God, the lives that were touched, and the passion and hunger we witnessed among pastors, leaders, and believers. It is always such a blessing to see leaders united with one heart and one vision — to win souls, make disciples, and raise up a generation that will impact their communities and transform our nation for Jesus Christ! A special thank you to Pastors Benny and Thuli Kareli for your wonderful hospitality, faithful leadership, and unwavering commitment to building God’s Kingdom. We believe the best is yet to come for the Free State! To God be all the glory! 🙌🔥

FIRST SACOFF MANGAUNG FAITH & GOVERNANCE GATHERING 🇿🇦 What a significant and fruitful beginning of engagements for SACOFF in Mangaung! A special word of appreciation to Pastor Benny Kareli and the faith leaders of Mangaung for bringing the Church together for this important first gathering. The programme created a meaningful platform where faith leaders could listen to and engage leaders from across the political spectrum, including the Chairpersons of the Free State ANC and DA parties, and Mangaung mayoral candidates of the, MK and PA Party. We were honoured by the participation of senior leaders in government and local governance, including the Speaker of the Free State Legislature and the President of SALGA, alongside church, governance, business and community leaders. Ps Bert Pretorius, President of SACOFF National, shared the heart and vision of SACOFF — calling the Church to unity and reminding faith leaders that the Church cannot remain on the sidelines when decisions affecting our communities are being made. As South Africa moves towards the 2026 Local Government Elections, the Church has an important role to play: encouraging responsible citizenship, strengthening accountability, engaging leaders across party lines and being a constructive voice for the communities we serve. This was far more than a meeting — it was the beginning of something significant for Mangaung. 🙏🏽🇿🇦 Thank you, Ps Benny and every faith leader who made this possible. May this be the first of many SACOFF Mangaung engagements that strengthen unity in the Church and help change the dynamic of Mangaung through principled, constructive and sustained engagement. The Church united. The Church engaged. The Church serving its community.

We honour you and celebrate what God is doing through your ministry! We believe the best is yet to come for Mahikeng and the North West Province! All glory to Jesus! 🙌🔥

FREE TO FORGIVE. Forgiveness doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt. It means you refuse to let the hurt control you. DROP THE DEBT. RELEASE THE OFFENCE. CHOOSE FREEDOM.

Memorial Service - Wedela And we gather because 18 precious lives have been taken from us. Not 18 numbers. Not 18 statistics. Eighteen people. Eighteen stories. Eighteen lives. Eighteen people who were known by name. What happened here confronts us again with the reality of evil. Human life has become too cheap. Violence has become too common. Families are being destroyed. Communities are living with fear. Illegal firearms, criminal networks, lawlessness and violent conflict are leaving innocent people traumatised. And it must not be something that we just accept. We must never reach the place where another mass sh**ting becomes just another news headline. We cannot simply shake our heads and continue with life. Every victim represents something sacred. LIFE IS SACRED, and every life matters. When a person is m**dered, something sacred has been violated. AS THE CHURCH we clearly say: VIOLENCE IS NOT NORMAL. M**der is not normal. Lawlessness is not normal. Living in fear is not normal. Communities controlled by armed criminals are not normal. And we must never accept them as normal! South Africa needs to Jesus!

It is heart-wrenching! Violence and murder must never be accepted as normal!

What an incredible time in Moscow, Russia, training and equipping pastors and leaders at the G12 Russia Conference, under the leadership of Pastors Eduard and Olga Deremova. We experienced such a powerful move of God! It is always inspiring to see leaders hungry for God, passionate about His presence, and committed to the Great Commission - making disciples and raising leaders who will impact their cities and nation. It was also a great privilege to minister alongside Presiding Bishop Sergey Ryakhovskiy, member of the Public Board of the Russian Government; and as well as our dear friends Pastors Jorge and Margarita Catano. Thank you, Pastors Eduard and Olga, for your friendship, leadership and warm hospitality. We love and appreciate you and believe the best is still ahead!

Today I was privileged to address the leadership and pastors at the Apostolic Faith Mission of South Africa General Business Meeting on behalf of SACOFF.

We deeply value the AFM’s significant contribution to the Church and to our nation. As I said earlier today, the fingerprints of Jesus and His Church are over the rebuilding of our nation. Thank you, AFM. We honour you and appreciate your partnership in the Gospel and in serving South Africa.

Great having you with us!
Today, I joined 3C Ministries for the church’s annual ‘It’s A Girl Thing’ Women’s Conference. The event is dedicated to honouring and empowering women and girls. Every woman carries a purpose, a gift and the power to make a difference. When a woman discovers her purpose, her impact can reach far beyond herself ❤️. Thank you to Pastor Bert Pretorius and the congregation for their prayers and warm welcome. @BertPretorius @CityTshwane

We had an awesome time in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, ministering for two incredible days at Word of Life Church, led by our dear friends Drs Goodwill and Maureen Shana. What an incredible experience! The presence of God was so powerful, and it was beautiful to see people hungry for His Word. We are so grateful for the warm Zimbabwean hospitality, the wonderful people, and the privilege of being able to pour into this great church. We leave Bulawayo encouraged, refreshed and thankful for all that God is doing in Zimbabwe. The best is yet to come! Great pastors. Great church. Great people. Great God! 🇿🇼❤️
