April to June, was meant to be a period of time that Dr. Paul and I would capitalize on becoming familiar with day to day operations and people and partners.

​However, with Dr Paul, sis. Molly, Dr. Ngubane and myself testing positive for COVID-19 late in April, all the plans had to be abandoned.

​All of us have recovered but Dr Paul's recovery is slow and will take some time. We continue to ask for prayer for him.

The past days and months, as someone said of me, this transition felt like a baptism by fire. However, I am grateful for the wonderful Leadership & Services personnel that work with me. Together we were able to provide meaningful leadership through a myriad of challenging events.

On 6th June a formal induction into the role of Director was held at Umhlanga Baptist church. I am deeply greatful for the many missionaries, family, friends, and church leaders that attended.

On 1st July, I officially assumed the role of Director and it has been a steep learning curve. Besides the day to day operations, my time is also focused on the Strategic Direction for SIM SA, process management and continuing to work towards the relocation of Leadership and Services to KZN.

During October 2021, the Board of SIM SA approved the general strategic direction for SIM SA. Please click the video on the left to have a general understanding of the task ahead of us.
