Our new commander in chief

After yesterday's commissioning service, it is now official: Paul Makhurupetsi is the new National director for Navigators, South Africa!

Below you can read a bit more about him:
Paul's Bio...
Paul was born in Limpopo Province, South Africa and raised up in a village (Ga-Kuranta). He is the third out of a family of eight children (two have passed on). He came to Christ in 1986, after the sudden death of a close cousin. "I started to have a fear of death and a felt need for protection against evil. All along I thought I was a good person and therefore God's child. Another cousin of mine, Joseph Makhurupetsi, who had become a believer, shared Christ with me and after a few days of struggling with the idea, I responded to Christ." says Paul.

Paul received spiritual mentoring form his uncle, Ronald Moroatshehla (who was a teacher at his high school) and Bob Turner (a missionary who started The Navigators ministry in South Africa).

Paul studied B.Sc (computer science) and worked for 4 years in the IT division of a national logistic company in SA. In March 1999, he resigned his job in order to serve in a full-time capacity with the Navigators. His ministry focus has been on reaching and discipling students at the University of the Witwatersrand.

Paul's interests are national & global politics and soccer. For a holiday he would like to travel to any or all of these: Israel, Egypt, US, UK, or Dubai.
