Nigel Branken & Family
This sermon audio includes a testimony from Nigel Branken. He and his wife Trish were compelled by their faith and reading of scripture to move with their family into a two-bedroomed apartment in Hillbrow – a notoriously dangerous and neglected part of the city of Johannesburg.
We are a rather ordinary family doing some extraordinary things. We believe as Christians that God is extremely concerned with the brokeness in our city and nation and that He has called each one of us to get involved in making a difference. To bring change we need to see the future prepare for the future and then become the future or in the words of Ghandi we must become the change we want to see in the world. Nigel Branken
