Today we remember the courage of 1976—young people who stood up and changed our history. As we honour their legacy, we look ahead with hope and build together for the young people of our nation.

"Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity." — 1 Timothy 4:12

Sometimes our beneficiaries share stories that stop us in our tracks. This story is one of them!

One of our graduates from our recent barista course shared that before coming to the message, she had put God in the background because of the trauma she was holding. When she engaged with our chaplain through our 1-1 sessions her eyes were opened and she realised the importance of having God back in her life.

Through her time at the message has slowly again turned back to faith in Jesus.

Our team had their second session with Valpark Primary and what a beautiful day it was!

The learners have shifted so much already — they are now eager to answer questions, share their thoughts and participate after we started celebrating every contribution made.

Their excitement reminded us how important encouragement, consistency and showing up really is.
We’re so expectant for what’s still to come!

8 incredible young people officially graduated from our Barista Course ☕🎓 5 of the graduates could be with us to celebrate their graduation and we’re so proud of them!

What a beautiful journey it has been watching them grow in confidence, skill and purpose. Please keep them in your prayers as they step into new opportunities — praying for open doors, favour and job opportunities ahead.

But more than just learning how to make coffee, our prayer is that they walk away with something even greater… a deeper encounter with God, purpose for their lives and hope for their future.

A Big Shout out to Redband Academy!

Over the last few weeks, The Message South Africa team, have called for prayer for our dear friend, colleague and family member, Alicia. It is with sadness to share that last Wednesday evening Alicia passed away, surrounded by her church and immediate family who were singing to Jesus. Some of our team were at the hospital until a few minutes before she died and said that the ward was full or worship and prayer.

Alicia has been part of The Message family since 2014 and was part of the initial Eden Pelican Park team. She was a youth pastor in her church for over ten years and was on staff with us from 2022 until 2024 serving in the Creative Mission team, she was full of joy and committed to seeing Christ change the lives of young people around her. She was full of joy, lived generously, was passionate about community and living deeply with those around her.

We are living in the tension of knowing that she is fully healed and with Jesus whilst mourning the loss of a dear friend and family member. We ask that you continue to pray for Enrico and their daughter as they mourn the loss of a wonderful wife and mother.

With all our love, The Message South Africa Team

*We share this post with the love, permission and gratitude of Enrico and family, knowing that Alicia was a valued part of our wider Message Community.

Octavia’s story is a reminder that even in the most difficult seasons, hope is not lost. Her journey speaks of resilience, growth, and the power of choosing a new direction. What once felt heavy is now a testimony of transformation and purpose.

We celebrate every step of her journey and the courage it took to rewrite her story.
