From Our Coaches

One of the many highlights with our Ignite Mission Team was the opportunity for them to meet our FlashPoint coaches, get to know them, and hear straight from their hearts. I thought it would be cool for you to hear from them as well.

We asked everyone to share their highlights from the year thus far, and here is what they had to say.

Thabang: Seeing kids giving their lives to Christ.

Pheelo: Reading testimonies from the kids and seeing how their efforts are really making a difference.

Joseph: Seeing learners become more open in sharing and seeking help about their personal struggles.

Thapelo: Having an opportunity to teach leadership lessons to his fellow coaches, and that Ignite is building him up as a leader so he can build others.

Pheko: Seeing growth in his learners, and seeing lives changed as kids apply what they learn.

Thulo: The impact Assemblies are having in new schools including many new commitments to Christ.

Amanda: Seeing the growth and boldness of each of the coaches.

Jill: Seeing the coaches use their gifts in mighty ways and also be willing to step out as God calls them to.

June: The huge step of faith each took as we made the transition from Thrive Africa to Ignite South Africa.

Dan: Learning so much from the leadership lessons, and being equipped as a leader and teacher.

Busisiwe: How the coaches work together as a team, and how they allow themselves to be stretched by God.

Amos: Being invited to speak to a 12th grade class over the holiday break.

Constance: Teamwork among the coaches, and also opportunities to learn new skills and roles.

Dimakatso: Seeing how she is making a difference with her learners.

Nnini: Seeing learners being changed, and also growing as a leader herself including teaching leadership lessons to her fellow coaches.

Disebo: Having an impact and building friendships with the learners.

Sibongile: Teaching grade 9 where kids are older than she’s used to; at first she was intimidated, but now they know and like her, and the class is going so well.

The team was excited to meet our incredible coaching team – their passion for God and raising up young leaders is so evident! Please pray with us for each of our coaches and the impact they are having for Christ.
