I find it a privilege to know Pastor Radebe and Mrs Radebe of Willowfontein Assembly of God, who I met last year August. The couple were my late aunt’s pastors. On the day she had called for a three-day fast, this man and woman of God were humble enough to participate. My aunt had invited me, so I was there. When I arrived at the church hall, I was warmly welcomed by Pastor and Mrs Radebe, as well as church members. I felt at home, as if I had known them for a long time.
Pastor Radebe’s dedication
Pastor Radebe is not only a good Bible teacher, but he is also a humble man of God who loves to work hands-on. He has no qualms about soiling his hands; whether it was when the church needed fencing or during the building of the church hall, he was there. At my aunt’s home, he built a couple of steps by himself to assist in taking my aunt out and bringing her back when he had to take her to church.
Mrs Radebe’s ministry
I discovered that Mrs Radebe has a wealth of personal and ministerial testimonies, which she shares with church members. She is a prolific intercessor and a worshipper of note.
My aunt’s faith
My aunt was very sick at the time but was determined to continue praying for her family, every believer, and the country. Her suggestions found humble ears in this Godly couple. They were always part of those fasts and prayers and prayed a lot for my aunt.
A spiritual legacy
On May 23, 2024, my aunt passed away. There was a huge revival at her home. Many souls were touched, and the family received full support from Pastor and Mrs Radebe. Thank God for them.
