Why We Do This
It starts with Jesus.
We love Him — and we believe He’s for everyone.
We want people in Ballito, in Shayamoya, and beyond to know and follow Him, because Jesus is the only one who saves, satisfies, and gives eternal life.
That’s why we’ve partnered with Christ Church Shayamoya (CCS)* — to stand with a local church bringing the good news of Jesus to their community.

How We Partner
Here’s how we come alongside CCS to help them live out the gospel and be a solid presence in their community:
- Lightening the load so Lizo and the team can focus on leading, loving, and sharing the good news of Jesus
- Backing CCS initiatives that build trust and gospel credibility in the community
- Sharing our resources — time, skills, and finances — in ways that serve what they are doing on the ground

*Christ Church Shayamoya is a small local church planted in 2012 in the Shayamoya community outside KwaDukuza. It was born out of a desire for people to hear about Jesus and learn about Him from His Word in their home language. The church is led by Lizo Mtshalala and his wife, Poppy. Senzo, who grew up in the church, is currently training for ministry at George Whitefield College in Cape Town.
