“My role is to encourage, connect and help build capacity for the people who are out there, on the ground, making Bible engagement practical.”
This includes the otLIVE instructors who help people understand and engage in the story of the Old Testament – and under-resourced pastors who, through Pastor’s Institute, are finding tools and other means to bring Bible engagement to their churches.
Mpho shares:
I have always been passionate about developing people, and this role fits right in with my previous experience of equipping others who also have a passion for God’s Word.
Both research and my practical experience show that we live in a generation where Bible engagement is at its lowest in various sectors of society. My ministry has given me an excellent opportunity to help focus our people back on the Word of God. This also fits perfectly with Walk Thru the Bible’s mission of igniting a passion for God’s Word. Being part of the Walk Thru the Bible team also helps me to fulfill my goal of passing on and entrusting the faith to the next generation.
I came to know Christ as Saviour at the age of 14. I was in a youth service on a Saturday afternoon, and our youth leader taught about the importance of developing a relationship with Christ while you are still young. For the first time that afternoon, I saw the need to accept Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour, and my life has never been the same since then.
Fun fact:
My first job was working as a voting officer in the 1994 first democratic elections. What an experience that was!
As a family, we like playing board games and cards during our spare time. We used to be super-competitive, but over the years, with more sanctification, we have become gentler when we play! We also like to hike from time to time.
Life motto:
“It’s okay to be scared, but don’t camp there, move on to faith promptly!”
