Pastors David and Marilize van der Walt
David Tobie van der Walt is man after God’s heart, flowing in a 5 Fold anointing to equip and release God's people into their Purpose and Destiny. He has ministered in over fifteen countries, and lived in three countries permanently during the last thirty plus years - South Africa, Israel and the USA.
He is married to Marilize and has 2 sons, Jonathan and Nathan. He graduated Bible school in the USA In 1998. He has since been a Youth Pastor, a Children's Pastor and a School Pastor for an A.C.E. school in Cape Town, an Associate Pastor in the Orlando Florida, and is now the Senior Pastor of One Vision Family Church, that is based in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), South Africa.
Through his life his passion has been the pursuit of a Heart of Worship. Worship is one of his strongest giftings. He has found that no matter the nation or people group, praise and worship will break any barrier holding people back from relationship with God and their destiny.
A key purpose for church has always been souls, and God has set the platform to reach the lost and to train them into kingdom minded sons and daughters for the glory of God the Father. God's vision for his life is to affect change where ever he goes by stirring the hearts of people towards God through 5 Fold training and helping them change their lives and their communities and their nations.
"God wants us to be strong, bold and mature in the spirit and live a life that shows forth His glory so that all may know that He is the one true living God."
