Meet Dr OT

Born and raised in Tsomo and Port Elizabeth into a humble home that did not care much for religion, I never imagined being one of its ardent advocates, to the point of establishing a Christian ministry. I distinctly remember as a young man going from piece-job to piece-job, wandering through life aimlessly. Without purpose, thinking to myself, ‘Lord, this can’t be it. This can’t be how life is supposed to be’. I knew something had to change.

God must have taken heed of what was in my heart because not too long afterwards, I was unexpectedly selected to study theology at one of the most prominent Christian colleges in the country. There I learnt about Christian doctrine, ways to keep a congregation spiritually connected to God, and so much more. Once assigned to my first parish on completion of my degree, I immediately found myself immersed in preparing encouraging and engaging sermons weekly, as well as visiting homes during the week where I would offer guidance and support to families. I’ve been on a mission ever since.
