I am a native South African who arrived on US soil in 2016 with my dog and cat, answering God’s call to ministry in the USA. Before God called me to ministry, I was a firefighter, paramedic, and nurse. Besides pastoral ministry, I have many years of experience in youth and college campus ministry, prison ministry, and working extensively with people struggling with substance abuse, sexual abuse and homelessness. I am a suicide prevention and intervention advocate, have a BA in Pastoral Leadership, an MSc in Christian Counseling, an M Div., and a PhD. in Christian Leadership (Church Revitalization). I love the outdoors, doing crafts, writing liturgies and poems, and sharing my house with my fur babies: a German Shepherd, two cats, and a turtle. Before answering God’s call to First Congo, I pastored in South Carolina. I have been blessed with a fantastic church family and am excited to be a part of this community. If there is anything I can do for you, please feel free to reach out.
