Mission's Emphasis Chapel 2025-2026: Ann Pretorius - Fields to Faith: When Ordinary Lives Meet God’s Power

Ann Pretorius shares her journey from being a farmer to leading major ministries in Africa, sparked by a miraculous healing that showed her God still works powerfully through ordinary people. Through their evangelistic ministry Jesus Alive , she and her late husband preached the gospel, trained leaders, and reached communities across Africa, while also developing humanitarian work that provides food, education, and long-term sustainability. She recounts intense personal trials, family tragedy, danger, persecution, and her husband’s death, but emphasizes perseverance, forgiveness, and relying on God’s strength. Her message highlights that faith must be both proclaimed and demonstrated through action. The core challenge is to live boldly for God’s purpose: think big, don’t shrink back from hardship, and use your life to bring both spiritual and practical transformation, trusting that God can multiply even small acts into lasting impact.
