Coralie and Dicky Roets – South Africa
Coralie was the missions coordinator at her church for seven years before being asked to establish and oversee the Missionary Venture South Africa office in 2004. Since that time, Coralie and her husband Dicky made it their mission to expand the Gospel reach in South Africa.
Coralie and Dicky opened up Swaziland, Lesotho, Mozambique and eventually Malawi for Missionary Venture team trips—hosting and leading teams regularly to these countries.
Today, many hearts and homes in South Africa are being opened to the gospel due to this couple’s desire to fulfill the Great Commission.

Cathy Potter, Durban, South Africa
Cathy is working in three different Township schools teaching a reading program called ‘Neema’ (developed by teachers for the African context) which is aimed at second language speakers. She has helped two local churches launch the program in their areas and is currently going in every week to teach and to help them with their volunteers. This is a wonderful opportunity to mobilize the local church family to serve in very poor communities and to show the love of God through education. We have a tremendous freedom in this country at this point to share our faith with teachers and learners alike.
In addition, Cathy is running sewing and business skills classes in the Zulu township of Embo. They come not just to learn a skill but also to get to know Jesus and understand His love and plans for them as Zulu women living in Embo Valley!
Cathy will always welcome support for any of the programmes mentioned above as well as leadership training and help with running health programmes.
Do you feel the call to any of the above, can you help in the growth of God’s Kingdom in South Africa?
