Our Team
John
John is passionate about helping people in business using his financial expertise in a God given way by applying biblical principles. He studied as a Chartered Accountant in Zimbabwe, worked commercially in finance for a number of years and then spent three years studying fulltime at an Evangelical bible school in Cape town. He subsequently served over 20 years as the Treasurer for SIM South Africa, an international mission agency working in over 70 countries. He also helps fundraise for the mission and missionaries working with business as mission. John also serves as the Treasurer for a small Christian school Grades 1 to 7, and runs a small business from his home in Kommetjie selling frozen berries.
Andy
Andy was brought up in a Christian home with parents who set a wonderful example for him to follow, so he has known the Lord all his life. After his studies and national service (as a chef in the SA navy) he started out his professional life with a career in food and restaurants. But in his late twenties he stumbled into a job as a software developer and found a hobby that folk were prepared to pay good money for. He loves his work and has developed software for many different businesses. He currently leads a team of developers writing software for insurance companies.
"The Lord has blessed me greatly throughout my life and instilled in me a servant heart and a desire to uplift people in my surroundings with the skills I have and the knowledge I have acquired."
Karen
Karen started her working career in the bank, working in most departments but mostly as a Training officer. After hitch hiking around Europe for 8 months, she got involved with a cosmetic company in the Direct Selling Industry for more than 25 years. From there her passion developed for training, developing, empowering and encouraging people.
Bastiaan
Bastiaan (Dutch) has worked in many countries outside South Africa, mainly for NGOs and UN Agencies. He specialises in training and systems development within the health and education sector. He has a passion for spreading the gospel. More information on his personal website: Click here.
David
David has a rich background in teaching and training, both in the traditional classroom setting, as well as mentoring and coaching Bible students.
His multicultural training experience started in the oil industry, and later extended to teaching students in China and Honduras. Locally, he lectured at the Fish Hoek School of the Bible where he met wonderful saints of many years standing, still at work honing their knowledge of the Word, as ‘iron sharpens iron.’
As an educator, David is aware that dedicated teachers and mentors require students eager for knowledge, together with a suitable environment where knowledge can be imparted. Business education based on the Word of God has an enormous advantage in that it is fundamentally sound, built on the Rock.
