Sent 2 Serve Ministries Logo

Our Logo

The logo depicts a family in unity, holding hands, while the cross is above them. The cross symbolizes that they know where they come from and the authority behind their action. Therefore, like Moses we can say “I AM has sent me to you” Exodus 3:14. The number 2 are being used because Jesus has sent forth His disciples in pairs, and likewise we have been called. “Ministries” includes the 3 crosses. Jesus, being the centre of our lives and the 2 crosses on the side, reminding us of our redemption.

Sent 2 Serve Ministries

Sent 2 Serve Ministries is an inter-denominational, interracial ministry to the glory of God alone.

Sent 2 Serve Ministries have two main focuses -

Reaching out

The calling of God on our lives is irrevocable, just like the commission of Christ to spread the Gospel of redemption to all mankind. We do this through every means, place and opportunity possible. Sharing the Word of God and allowing His Spirit to change people. We plant the seeds, but God makes it grow…

Serving Others

We believe that a hungry person does not hear the Gospel of Christ in it’s fullest form. Share The Way, Truth and Life around a table, like Jesus did so many times, and they listen… Reaching out to the destitute, hungry and naked is God’s love in action. Giving comfort and taking care is part of sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ.

A short insight into Sent 2 Serve Ministries

At the beginning of 2012 we thought that “Changed lives Ministries” would be registered by now. GOD had other plans…. The name could not be registered as there was already a ministry by that name. We then tried to register “One Way Ministries” but that was also in existence. Next we tried to register “Grace Ministries” which was also already registered. Was God trying to tell us something? Yes, definitely. We got the message and started praying, asking God to intervene and show us what exactly He had in mind for us. We waited and prayed and waited and prayed….

All along we carried on with that which God has entrusted us with, serving people with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Bringing relieve by collecting food and clothing for the needy and supporting and ministering to the emotionally wounded. All in all, giving comfort and taking care of the lost, emotionally wounded, hungry and needy in the name of Jesus Christ, whom has set the perfect example for us.

One morning Madelein was talking to the Lord, asking Him to confirm our calling and that which He wants us to do. Clearly the following words came to her mind - ”I have sent you to serve” When I arrived home later she greeted me with a big smile, telling me that our ministry must be named, Sent 2 Serve Ministries. We realized that if this was from God, the registration process will be without any problems.

I contacted the company that would assist us in this and a week later was notified that Sent 2 Serve Ministries was accepted for registration as a non-profit company. Sent 2 Serve Ministries is now officially registered with the Companies and intellectual properties commission as a non-profit company with registration number - NPC 2012/105954/08. We are also registered as a non-profit organization (NPO) and a Public Benefit Organization (PBO), Article 18A; (PBO 930042286) which allow us to issue a receipt for donations, which in return is tax deductible with SARS for the donor.

Thanks be to God who is faithfully leading us in this Ministry to the Glory and honor of His name alone.
