Jacques was born in Cape Town in 1973. He is the middle child of three, raised by a devoted single mother. His childhood brought tough lessons, but it also instilled a resilience that would shape both his life and career. He built a successful career in the financial services industry, gaining extensive experience with offshore investment firms worldwide. Spending seven years in London at a young

age influenced the path he would choose. In 2012, Jacques had what he calls a moment of grace. This was a turning point that made him reconsider everything. By the end of 2014, he felt a strong call to full-time ministry. In 2015, he relinquished his material possessions to pursue seminary training. That journey of faith led to his ordination as a pastor in May 2021. Since then, he has travelled widely across South Africa, Mozambique, and the Middle East, sharing the gospel through street ministry, outreach, and evangelistic services. In addition to evangelism, Jacques is passionate about pastoral care, counselling, and discipleship. He offers compassion and practical support to those in crisis. He is dedicated to teaching and upholding the life-changing truths of the gospel. His ministry blends strategic experience with heartfelt pastoral service. He wants to see lives and communities restored. His wife, Caroline, is a caring full-time mother to their two children and a talented Christian counsellor. Her gentle care has become a ministry in its own right. Together, they share a vision focused on family, faith, and serving others. Today, Jacques is entering a new season. He is temporarily separated from his family as he seeks opportunities in the United Kingdom. His goal is simple yet ambitious: to expand God’s kingdom in both practical and spiritual ways, and to create a secure future for his wife and children. He walks this path with faith and hope, believing that every open door is an invitation to serve, build, and bring light to those in need.

A Word for the Week
**To Know Him**

Do we read the Word to make sense of the world, or to know the One who created it?

It is possible to study Scripture deeply and still miss the One to whom Scripture points.

Jesus said:

“You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me.”
John 5:39 (ESV)

This week’s *A Word for the Week* asks us to consider what we are really seeking when we open the Bible.

Do we read the Bible simply to find answers, or to know God Himself? A reflection on John 5:39 and how Scripture points us to Jesus Christ.

A Word for the Week
**The Fear That Leads to Wisdom**

When I first came to Christ, I stumbled over a word that echoed through Scripture.

Again and again, I read that we are called to fear the Lord.

Fear, to me, meant being afraid. Why would a loving God ask for that?

It took time for the meaning to unfold.

The fear of the Lord grows from recognising who God truly is. He is perfectly holy and sovereign over all creation. His authority reaches every corner of our lives.

Reverence is a deep awe that bows before the holiness and authority of God.

Acts tells us that the early church was “walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit”.

The fear of the Lord shaped the way they lived.

Solomon writes:

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom...”
Proverbs 9:10 (ESV)

FAITH FOUNDATIONS IS BACK

**I Was Baptised Before I Knew Christ**

I was baptised as a baby.

Years later, after I came to know Jesus Christ personally, I began asking whether what had happened to me as an infant was the baptism I now encountered in the New Testament.

That question eventually became deeply personal.

In this new Faith Foundations article, I share my own journey from infant baptism to conversion and later believer’s baptism. I also examine what Scripture teaches about faith, repentance and baptism while respecting Christians who have reached a different conviction.

After more than three months without a new Faith Foundations publication, I am grateful to return to longer-form discipleship teaching on **EvangeliSphere**.

A Word for the Week

**Have You Taken It Back?**

Perhaps there was something you once placed into God’s hands.

Maybe it was a promise about your marriage. Maybe you surrendered a habit or laid down a part of your life before the Lord. You meant every word.

But somewhere along the way, you took it back.

Samson’s story in Judges 16 leaves us with a question worth carrying into the week:

Is there something I once gave to God that I have taken back?

Perhaps today is the day to give it back. His mercy meets you here.

Samson’s story in Judges 16 challenges us to consider what we may once have surrendered to God but later taken back. A devotional on consecration, repentance and grace.

📚 **NEW ON EVANGELISPHERE: RECOMMENDED READING**

Following Christ involves growing in our understanding of God’s Word while also learning how to walk faithfully through the realities of everyday life.

I’ve added a new **Recommended Reading** section to the EvangeliSphere **Discipleship & Care** page.

The aim is to recommend carefully selected Christian books that can help believers grow in Christ and find biblical guidance as they navigate life’s common struggles.

The first collection covers discipleship, healing, Bible study, prayer, Christian living and evangelism & apologetics. Each recommendation includes a brief introduction, who the book may be especially useful for and why I recommend it.

More books and resources will be added as the section develops.

A Word for the Week
*He Will Fulfil His Purpose*

Sometimes the road between God’s calling and its fulfilment can feel far longer than we expected.

David knew that journey well. From shepherd to king, he learned to trust God’s purpose while leaving the timing in His hands.

This week’s message reflects on the assurance of Psalm 138:8:

“The LORD will fulfil his purpose for me.”

https://www.evangelisphere.org/blog/3326637_he-will-fulfil-his-purpose

When God’s purpose seems delayed, David’s journey reminds us to remain faithful, trust His timing and believe that God is still at work.

A WORD FOR THE WEEK

*NO OTHER FOUNDATION*

Can all religions lead to the one true God?

In a culture where spiritual truth is increasingly treated as a matter of personal preference, Scripture gives us a firm foundation.

Jesus Christ is not simply one path among many. He is the foundation of saving faith.

This week’s devotional reflects on 1 Corinthians 3:11 and the truth that our hope rests on Christ alone.

Read the full devotional here:
https://www.evangelisphere.org/blog/3317289_no-other-foundation

In our day, spiritual truth is often seen as a matter of personal preference. Many voices set different beliefs about God side by side, as if each path leads to the same destination.

📖 A Word for the Week

The old life often returns dressed as something harmless. It promises quick relief while quietly drawing the heart away from what is true.

Ephesians 4:24 calls believers to put on the new self and allow their identity in Christ to shape the way they think and live.

📖 **A Word for the Week**

When temptation comes, Jesus shows us how to respond. He did not let the enemy control the conversation. He answered every lie with the authority of Scripture.

The enemy still speaks today. Let the Word be your answer.
