ONE TOWNSHIP | THREE MONTHS | 11 CRUSADES

WHAT IS IT?

WOW ALEX was a dynamic, multi-crusade initiative targeting the township of Alexandra, which is located in Johannesburg, South Africa. Spanning over 800 hectares, it is home to hundreds of thousands of inhabitants and is notorious for violence, addiction, and overcrowding. WOW ALEX is an acronym for Wave On Wave Alexandra. Our objective was to cause wave on wave of salvation, deliverance, and revival to move across this tormented community! Eleven crusades were held—each over a minimum of three days—beginning in early February and concluding in mid-April.

HOW WILL IT WORK?

Each weekend, a different section of Alex witnessed its own tailored crusade, ensuring easy accessibility for all residents, transport being a massive problem faced on account of poverty and criminal activity. Some of the crusades were held among the dwellings in an inviting, open space. Others took place on a soccer field, school ground, or in a community hall. Sixteen local evangelists, well-known to In His Name and most trained by the ministry, collaborated over several weeks, ensuring that relationships were forged between the pastors of Alex and evangelists with whom they can work together moving forward. The schools were ministered in and aggressive street evangelism campaigns conducted.

MEET OUR EVANGELISTS

Jabu4.png

JABULANI NDABA

Jabulani Ndaba, founder of Christ Harvest, was radically saved while serving time in prison. His youth was spent engaging in criminal activities and abusing drugs and alcohol, which led to repeated incarcerations. Today, he ministers in jails, schools, rehabs, streets, drug dens and in the most dangerous places in the townships of Gauteng, South Africa, having been inspired by the people who preached the Gospel to him while he was still in prison. He is happily married with two boys and two girls.

MAKWALE MANGENA

Makwale Mangena is the founder of Antioch Christian Outreach, an evangelistic outreach ministry that focuses on soul-winning through Gospel Crusades and street evangelism in South Africa. Being born to parents who are born-again Christians, he received Jesus as his Saviour at the tender age of ten. While he was an introvert as a boy, he now shares the Gospel with passion and power. He is blessed with a wonderful, God-fearing wife and is currently holding crusades in the Limpopo Province, in the surrounds of Tzaneen.

Khomotso Kgatla heads up Jesus Soul Winning Ministries. As a university student in 2010, he got saved during a church service and was set free from ancestral worship and alcoholism.

Since 2014, he has focused on holding tent and open-air crusades in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. He is married to his beautiful wife and they have one daughter.

BONGANI MIKE MHLONGO

He now heads up Jesus In the Workplace International Ministries, which focuses on winning the lost, reviving backsliders and equipping the church for evangelism. His current areas of focus are the South African provinces of Gauteng and Limpopo. He is married to his lovely wife, Ndumi and they have seven children.

DEBORAH MAFUJANE

Deborah Mafujane has been entrusted by God with His Light Shines Ministries. She was saved by the Lord while growing up in boarding school. However, in university, she walked away from Him to embrace a life of partying, drinking and living in complete rebellion. The Lord delivered her from this path to destruction and called her to go and tell others of His goodness and lovingkindness, through the preaching of the Gospel. She is also mandated by God to equip the saints for the work of ministry and teach church groups on how to evangelise. She lives in Johannesburg, South Africa.

STEPHANIE NGCOBO

Stephanie Ngcobo got saved in high school after losing her brother. Thereafter, somebody told her mother that she would need to become a sangoma or she would lose all her children, which she then did. Stephanie remained faithful to her newfound Saviour and never stopped praying for the salvation of her mother and family. The Lord answered her prayers and one day, her mother renounced being a witchdoctor, told all her children that none of them would become sangomas and now, the entire family is serving Jesus! Stephanie is passionate about evangelising to the patients and staff at the clinics in Alexandra township, where she makes her home, supported by her church, Johannesburg Christian Center.
