To the Uttermost Parts of the Earth

While preaching to the multitudes of London one evening at Leicester Square, Dirk was approached by someone from the city of Cape Town, South Africa, with the words, “You need to come to South Africa, we need preachers like you.” The London ministry was booming, but soon an outreach trip was scheduled for the ASEA team in 1998. Four years later, Dirk and his family relocated to spread the vision to South Africa. They found a nation torn apart by hatred, poverty and violent crime. Dirk was drawn to the areas where gangs rule. The vision for South Africa includes training those whose futures point to gangs to be preachers of the Good News instead. Based in an area known as Muizenberg, ASEA was able to complete a building project in 2018 to house a church and a training center.
