Church Planting
The Bible presents the local church as central to God’s design for spreading the gospel, maturing disciples of Jesus Christ, and equipping them for the work of ministry. If the Great Commission is to be accomplished, we need healthy local churches all over the world that will fulfil this mission in their area. Lord willing, our church will seek to be a part of seeing many churches planted into the future.
The Greater Pretoria Area
One goal we have as a church is to see “every person in the greater Pretoria area have reasonable access to a Bible-teaching church.” Phase One of pursuing this mission is planting our church in Pretoria West. With time, we hope to help start churches in other parts of the greater Pretoria area where we see a significant need for Bible-teaching churches (for example, the Ga-Rankuwa and Soshanguve areas North West of Pretoria, and the Atteridgeville, Saulsville, Lotus Gardens area West of Pretoria).
Ka-Bungeni village, Limpopo Province
Ka-Bungeni is a Tsonga village not far from Makhado / Louis Trichardt in Limpopo Province. Like many parts of Africa, both the Prosperity Gospel and a syncretism between Christianity and African Traditional Religion are very widespread in the area. The need for Bible-teaching churches is huge! Lord willing, Living Hope Church will send out Akani and Lerato Hlungwane to plant a biblical church in this village in 2024.
Akani was born and raised in Ka-Bungeni. He is an elder at Living Hope Church, where he and his wife, Lerato have been faithful members for over a decade. Akani and Lerato were very instrumental in laying the groundwork towards our church being planted. For more information about them and this church-planting mission, please click here.
Our church contributes towards the Hlungwanes' ministry support. We also aim to participate in short-term ministry trips to this area at least once a year.
