South Africa’s potential for ministry is fantastic. The fall of the oppressive Apartheid government in 1994 brought a relatively peaceful transition to democracy in South Africa, and the years since have been both hopeful and troubled.

Both HIV/AIDS and crime are growing. There is lingering mistrust between racial groups, tribal groups, and socioeconomic groups. Individuals and organizations are struggling to find a place for themselves in the new order of things.

The Ethne South Africa team was formed in 2010 and lives incarnationally among the people of Tshwane (the city of Pretoria and surrounding areas). Pretoria is the executive capital of South Africa and is home to numerous embassies, universities, and government agencies. Four million people live in Tshwane. Extreme wealth exists next door to abject poverty.

The Ethne team is committed to hands-on contextualized ministry and serves local Jesus leaders to strengthen relevant expressions of the Church. The Church, as a growing and relevant force in South Africa, can provide the leadership, stability, and integrity that will help the nation reach its potential.
