Greetings Nadine I personally would like to say thank you to you and the Transformation team. I know that this weekend will make a difference to our generations. The weekend was blessed I also believe that the Lord spoke to all our hearts concerning the youth. I thank the Lord for the obedience of the Leaders where the word was concern we need to challenge our youth more about holiness and living pure lives .The warnings was for all of us and I know that we need to minister more messages to our youth about walking the road of a true follower of Jesus Christ. Nadine may we hear more positive reports and miracles from the youth and I know that the Lord will complete what He has began for us. I was inspired by Graham Power challenge for the Gospel to our Youth.  We need to tell the Youth about our Testimony so that they can hear true experiences. 

I know my son Joshua learnt something because he speaks about certain messages that reminds him about the whole weekend.


Thanks and continue to be a blessing to this generation that needs us.
God Bless

Hey you guys!

Just wanna say thank you for the wonderful weekend we had at Goudini Spa with you!
It was a time for me to explore, meet people and share experiences with you and others.

I appreciated the fact that you made us fast! In my whole life I have never ever felt how it feels to fast!

A special thank you to Tom for his ministry in my life! It made a huge impact!

Today I can face my lions and stand proud to attack them(not in a bad way)

God Bless You and Your family!!

Keep the Faith

Hi Team,

I would like to thank you for such an awesome weekend at the Transformation Africa weekend.  I come from Northern Ireland and I am staying in George for a year at the Life Academy, a ministry of Out of Africa Missions.  I came down with the guys from Parkdene Baptist.  I’m so glad I got the opportunity to go as it proved very challenging yet very profitable for me.  The culture in South Africa is very different from home, I have never had coloured friends before just because there isn’t really any coloured people at home and there are no racial problems but I see here that it can be a problem.  But I loved the fact it was interdenominational, there were people of different colours, from different parts of the world and spoke different languages however when we came together to worship God none of this mattered.  My favourite part of the weekend was actually being able to pray with a few coloured guys.  I just looked at my hand in theirs and it was just so awesome, everyone is unique, valuable and God has made us all different because He has a special purpose for everyone.  A lot of the stuff I learnt on the weekend was kind of a reinforcement of what I have been learning in Life Academy.  Taking time out to seek God and listen for his voice is so important and when we do this he does speak.  In fact he is always speaking to us I believe but sometimes we choose just not to listen.  I felt God really saying to me, just be still and know that I am God.  He is in control no matter happens, he is sovereign and his plans are so amazing for our lives.

Thank you once again
Yours because of Him

I hope that you are well rested since the confrence and that you are in good health.

I am from the Zoe Youth Group and we would just like to thank you for a awesome weekend that we had. To be honest I actually came back from camp quite disappointed because I prayed and asked God to really speak to me and touch me in a way that would change me but it was like He never listened and I went up for the alter call of laying your life down for Christ and I guess God saw my heart and how desperate i was for him. When I got home from the camp I went to lay cause i was quite tired and then the guys that was on the camp called me and asked if they could come over to my house because we all missed each other (even thought we saw each other 4 hours ago), I then said it was ok. When they arrived we held a prayer meeting on our stoep at home which I never expected to come from them cause we never pray together and have Christian meetings. we have now started a prayer group called THE EAGLES, not because we want to be seen but because we want to be a influence to our community, it is not easy for a teenage to be saved and intimate with God in this day and age, there are many temptations out there, so we are each others pillar of strength. When we spoke yesterday, all of us said that this was something that God has laid on our hearts for quite sometime but we planned it too much and that’s why it failed but now we are just gonna go for it and i would really like you guys to pray for us for strength cause its not a easy road, the devil knows what we are doing now and he WILL try to stop us but the bible says that they who wait upon the lord, he shall renew their strength, they will run and not grow weary, they shall walk and not faint.

God has blessed you guys will a brilliant vision and we the eagles are gonna run with it, we are gonna go to the ends of the earth for HIM. YOU GUYS TOOK A STEP OF FAITH BY DOING THIS CONFRENCE AND GOD HAS JUST TOOK TWO BEFORE YOU, AND WATCH WHAT HE WILL DO FOR YOU

We are praying for you guys at Transformation Africa...........

Dear Team

I attended the conference and throughout the  programme I was touched and blessed. I, however cannot say the same about Sunday evening. Etienne asked delegates to come to the front and give a short overview of the weekend thus far. Even though you said, this is not a platform of fame (something to that effect), they still preached and encouraged the youth and took up 10 - 15 minutes per person. I feel that you should put your foot down in cases where people are not obedient. Surely it was not laid on their hearts to change what you have put in place to something they wish to call "the shell road to fame". At one stage you also said that no more people will be allowed in the queue and still people flocked to the front to give their 10 minutes stint of "FAME". I must say that I was not at all impressed with what transpired there.

Throughout the conference you had people walking up and down the isles, praying aloud and worshiping. This was a disturbance to me, as you had this constant movement of people when you were in a quiet time of worship and prayer. If you could address this matter as well at the next event.

Hope that you will see this feedback as constructive feedback which can only help when you have such a conference next time around.

Yours in Christ

I would just like to write this letter to say thank you for the weekend.  It was a very pleasant and blessed weekend. I learnt a lot when I was there.  The point that stood out for me was the 3min in silence.  I never ever really sat down and listen to what God has to say.  He said a lot in that 30min, I learnt a lot.

I learnt how to praise and worship. I couldn’t praise and worship like I did there.  I really thank God for the oppertunity that He gave me to be there.  I can’t wait to see what God has planned for me in the future.

May God bless you!

I greet you all in the wonderful name of my Jesus and Father.  I wanna tell you what the weekend meant to me.  I left the conference being a changed man.  I came back and ga e my heart to the Lord.  I also got to learn that sometimes we should listen to what God has to say instead of us doing our own thing.  We should be still and know that He is God.  I wanna thank God for making this weekend possible.

Just to say thank you!  God really used you to bring our desires and dreams to reality!  Our desire was to have youth camp at thee Spa but financially it was impossible.  God really sees to the heart of people and He answered!

Our youth are 99% from Chris Hani camp in Maccassar and our ministry is 2 years old.  We are still very small not even 50 yet but we trust God… Our youthreal;ly grew stronger spiritually and more mature in their walk with God… thanks to the team.

Dear Transformation Africa Team

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!  My name is Ethan Pedro, Leader of the Holy Trinity Revival Youth.  I just want to thank you guys for an awesome weekend that totally changed my spiritual life.  Seeing how young people, from all over South Africa, praise God and talk about His power and might, just makes me wana be a better person.

I really became closer with some people in our youth and made so many friends.  It amazed me how everyone I talked to already knew God and what He can do.  Immediately we could have a conversation and share our stories about how God saved us from the world and it’s desires.
