“BUILD A SANCTUARY FOR CHILDREN” – Ps Danie Terblanche 2015

This was the WORD (seed) in the beginning of starting South Gate Academy straight out of the heart of God calling Overberg Christian Family Church to look into the future, to hear His voice and to obey His Living Word.

“You will bring them in and plant them on your
own mountain—the place, O Lord, reserved for your own dwelling,
the sanctuary, O Lord, that your hands have established.” – Ex 15:17

The Overberg Christian Family Non Profit Company has been serving the schools and communities of Cape Agulhas the last 10 years through the Education Connection program. This has set the foundation in establishing South Gate Academy Private Christian School in partnership with Overberg Christian Family Kingdom Community. This is one of the many ways God has called this community in building a sanctuary to develop young people through excellent quality education, mentorship and training.
