Pretoria Gospel Chariot Office


Above is the Pretoria Gospel Chariot building. We have a number of ministries that operate from here. All our Chariots are run from this office. Dimpo Motimele is the coordinator who works closely with me. We have a short term Bible school, World Bible School office and a Downtown congregation that meets on Sundays. They are approximately 200 in attendance.
Above shows the GCM team. Mamse, Jonas, Bongani, Dimpo, Quinton, Joshua, Lydia, Elvis, Shanga and Lazarus. There are 12 of us and we are the GCM family. On the right you can see Dimpo with his wife and newborn baby boy. We are so proud of them. Below shows the congregation on Sunday during worship and after worship. Above shows Dimpo sitting with Joshua. Behind them you can see the year planner. We plan the Chariots' travels as well as all seminars and Church visits. We also have dates for different semesters at the Short Term Bible Schools. A lot of planning and work goes into one year. On the right you can see Lazarus Munetsi with his wife. Laz works full time at this office. He and Dimpo are my right and left hand men. Both teach at the Pretoria Short Term School. Lazarus is boasting his Masters Degree through Nations University. Our offices are satellite Universities for Nations. On the left you can see students lining up for their diplomas on graduation day. This shows the office with Dimpo, Lazarus, Joshua, Shanga and the ladies Mamse and Lydia.


Below you can see the ladies grading and working with many, many WBS lessons and names. We put ads in the newspaper and receive thousands of responses. We even get some through the cell phone. People can now sms us. We also have a WBS Private Bag X10 in Boksburg where all students in South Africa send their mail bound for the USA. Vicki and these ladies work with this ministry. They are a fantastic team.

Above: Shanga from the A team. Shanga goes out to all the surrounding towns visiting WBS students. He goes into their homes and studies with them. He then baptizes and links them to the different Churches of Christ. So the teachers do the teaching and we do the reaching. This we do house to house, but most times through seminars. This way we invite hundreds to come study with us. Gas is so expensive. We are very concerned in this regard. Please pray for us.

Above shows a combined meeting in the Pretoria area. We might have the office in the city, but each evangelist who works with us is also a preacher and leader of a Pretoria congregation. The Church of Christ in Pretoria is doing extremely well. The Church of Christ is strongest in Pretoria, Venda and Natal.
