Kobus van Niekerk

In YWAM 29 years - currently based in Pretoria, South Africa

Role within YWAM in Africa: Regional Director of Southern Africa, representing two regions (Southern and South Central) to the GLT and helping with pastoral issues in the greater Africa.

Role within the ALT: Currently chairperson for the ALT Executive Committee and for the greater ALT for this next year.

Vision for YWAM Africa: To see YWAM in Africa releasing more leadership, resources and hope from within; to inform the world about Africa, celebrate those that are already labouring in Africa and to challenge those that still need to come, especially key people to address poverty, HIV/AIDS and Community Development within Africa. I would like to see Project 4K happen and the unreached reached.

Spare time activities: Being outdoors, in the bush, bow hunting and having a good 'braai' (BBQ).
