Our vision
Light where it is
needed most.
We see lives redeemed, leaders developed, communities transformed and nations touched by the power of Jesus Christ.
We are building a ministry that stands as a beacon of faith, excellence, integrity and compassion—bringing hope where there is despair and opportunity where there is need.
“Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.”
Isaiah 60:1–3
Developing leaders for the next generationOur story
From a tent revival
to a trusted home.
Christ Ambassador Ministries has served Nemato township and the wider Port Alfred community for more than three decades. What began as a tent revival in 1994 has grown into a trusted ministry providing feeding, counselling, mentoring and skills development.
Our name, Ikhaya Labangcwele—The Home of the Holy—expresses our conviction that church is not simply a building. It is a living people who make the love of Christ tangible.
