In 2018, the Lord led our family to move from the United States to South Africa to preach the gospel and invest in raising up disciples of Jesus who will boldly follow Him wherever He leads.

We launched ROOTED, a discipleship program focused on spiritual formation, leadership development, and equipping young believers to strengthen their local churches and serve the nations. Students come from across South Africa and beyond for an intensive season of growth, and many return home grounded in Scripture, strengthened in character, and equipped to serve in churches, ministries, and church plants around the world. Over the years, students from multiple nations and provinces have been trained through ROOTED and sent back into churches, ministries, and mission fields.

In addition to ROOTED, we are actively involved in supporting local churches and helping strengthen church planting efforts through discipleship, leadership development, preaching, mentoring, and practical service. Our heart is to see healthy, gospel-centered churches established and strengthened across South Africa and beyond.

We also partner closely with a local children’s home, investing relationally and practically into the lives of vulnerable babies and children. Through mentorship, consistent presence, and hands-on service, we desire to reflect the love of Christ in tangible ways.

This work is only possible through faithful partners who stand with us in prayer and financial support. Our family depends on monthly partnership to remain on the field and continue investing in the next generation of leaders in South Africa.

Would you prayerfully consider becoming a monthly partner?

Recurring support allows us to disciple, serve, and plan with greater stability and long-term vision. Whether large or small, every monthly gift plays a meaningful role in sustaining the work God is doing here.

Thank you for considering partnering with us in the gospel — in South Africa and beyond.

In Christ,

Pete, Sumari, and Arielle Witt

“Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

— Matthew 28:19–20
