How it all came into being

In August 2016, after many years working in the South African Short-Term Insurance and Healthcare industries, God called
Pastor Elroy and Santie Du Toit into full-time missions ministry.

Their journey began by serving with various mission organizations and church denominations for the first two years,
gaining valuable experience and spiritual grounding. In 2018, God clearly directed them to Namibia—Pastor Elroy’s country
of birth—where their calling took deeper root.

Initially, they stayed briefly in Keetmanshoop to finalize Namibian citizenship, but the Lord soon led them supernaturally to
the small town of Bethanie in the southern Karas Region.
For two and a half years, they ministered among farming communities and the impoverished Nama people. During this time,
Elroy also began his theological training, while together they established a children’s upliftment centre—providing food,
spiritual care, and emotional support to little ones growing up in hardship.

In 2020, the Lord opened the door for them to serve in Rosh Pinah for a year, where they strengthened the local community and
laid the foundations for what would become a newly Registered Non-Profit Missions Organization.
Shortly thereafter, God resettled them in Keetmanshoop—the capital of the Karas Region. From this central location, they established
The Mission House, a base from which they could more effectively reach Southern Namibia with the Gospel and carry out the vision entrusted to them.

After seven years of ministry in Namibia, and nine years since first being called, the Lord spoke again in 2025—this time enlarging
the vision beyond Namibia to the continent of Africa. In response, Co-Missions Africa was formally established, stepping into a
broader calling to serve the nations.

In October 2025, Pastor Elroy and Santie will visit Malawi, where a local family has already been serving under the
Co-Missions Africa banner for over a year and a half. This marks the beginning of a new chapter—expanding the work from
Southern Namibia into Africa as a whole, as God continues to open doors and confirm His mission.
