Hello

My Story

When I was 7 years old, I had a vivid dream. As a child growing up in South Africa, we did not really watch TV in the '70s like we do today, and influence from the outside world was extremely limited. Yet, in the dream, it was a time of war. The environment looked like modern-day war-torn nations - everything was brown. There was no grass and no color.  I remember hiding behind a big army tank when suddenly the entire scene changed in the blink of an eye. Everything turned into the most beautiful green fields. I don't know how I knew the following, but I thought, “Wow, the hills look just as green as Scotland.” I also knew that the USA was not in a good place before God.

Suddenly, I saw Jesus shining like a very bright light coming down on a huge white cloud, and I knew it was too late to accept Him. The entire world could see Jesus coming down. I don’t know how I knew this, but I knew Americans on the other side of the world were looking at Jesus at the same time,e but it was too late for them to repent. I was very aware that the entire Globe could see Him. Nothing and no person could hide from Him at that moment.

I became very afraid because I knew it was too late for me to accept Him. That is when He spoke to me with an audible voice. “Do not be afraid, you are coming with Me.”  Physical warmth and incredible peace surrounded me, and then I woke up.

​

One day, while I was still in high school, the Holy Spirit suddenly spoke into my heart as I walked behind one of the classrooms during break time. He said: You are following Me because you are scared of hell, not because you know Me."  That was a defining moment in my personal walk and friendship with God. At that moment, He was so real.

​

I have a few more stories like this that lead me on a very different trajectory than what I planned. In 1996, God called me to full-time missions through Jeremiah 1:5. A dear friend introduced me to YWAM, and I joined in 1997. My very first trip to India was for a few months, and it changed my life forever. I saw the unreached face-to-face and personally met hundreds of people, nice people, who have not even heard the name of Jesus or knew that there is a Creator!

Currently

​

I have been with YWAM for 3 decades, lived on 5 continents, and made evangelistic films with Create International in many nations. Since losing my visa after years overseas, I now create resources in other languages through stop-motion animation from home, and minister among my people. Being part of the South Africa Frontier Missions Full Nets Team keeps my focus on the 10-40 window. I am also on the Team for Bible Engagement Faculty of the University of the Nations. Running SLOWKOU STILBAAI for women in Stilbaai gives me a lot of joy! Check it out on Facebook.

In 2026, I will lead a team on Motorcycles through 14 Southern African nations. Keep an eye out for us on YOUTUBE! 

With faithful prayer partners and monthly sponsors, I keep going full steam :-) I have never earned a salary, yet God has always been faithful through His body. Thanks!
