he called, we answered
“The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest.”
Matthew 9 v 37-38
About
We are called to radical discipleship and live to pursue the hearts and minds of people. We pray our lives will reveal Father God’s heart for them so we can help them understand how deeply God loves them, the truth about how He sees them, and their identity in Christ
The New Journey
In 2014 we began a new chapter together. This new beginning impacted our mission organization, our marriage, and ministry purpose.
Magezi Ministries was birthed through clear direction from the Lord and a number of close mentors who together and separately endorsed our family founding and directing this new non-profit organization.
“Magezi” literally means “Big Lights” and has the spiritual definition meaning, “The light that shines because of Christ.” Isaiah 60:1-3 are the founding verses for this organization and begin by saying, “Arise and Shine for your light has come,…” which is quickly becoming the driving passion for everything that is done.
‘And then he told them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.’
Mark 16:15
Dan & Janell
The road to love & forgiveness
Our marriage is not what it used to be. We have been walking a redemption story together as husband and wife that is having deep impact everywhere we go. As a couple we deeply desire to see others walking in true freedom and victory from sin, as well as understanding “Whose” they are in their core identity.
This grew out of a deep healing that took place in our marriage due to Dan’s confession and full dealing with a life-long battle with pornography and Janell’s decision to commit not only to the covenant of marriage but also to Dan as a person. Together, our story of redemption is helping individuals find victory in their own lives, which in turn impacts the intimacy and health of marriages, which in turn impacts the entire family toward health, wholeness, and happiness.
Looking back..
We have over 20 years of missions experience in 29 countries. Since 2006, we have been living and ministering in Southern Africa. In 2014, we founded Magezi Ministries. We now live in Bethlehem in the Freestate Province and minister from here to the rest of South Africa. We are passionate about discipling men and women to become healthier in their relationships and to break free from addictions, specifically pornography.
We facilitate a course called Align which uses the Addict to Disciple books as our curriculum to help Africans discover that healing is possible and how to walk in victory and freedom.
The path of From Addict to Disciple may be the path less traveled, but it is the path that makes all the difference!
If our focus is on moral regeneration instead of being clean and sober, we can look at the root, the wound, that birthed a pattern of aberrant behaviour which became our “normal” even though society has labeled it as illegal, antisocial, and abnormal.
