Part of our Big 5 Vision is we see the 7 Gateways of Society being infused with Kingdom Values. We want each and every believer to be equipped to fulfil their call to carry God’s presence into everyday life in the sectors of society where they live, work and play. Our dream is to see people, who love Jesus, bring Kingdom values to focus in BUSINESS, EDUCATION, ENTERTAINMENT & SPORT, FAMILY & HEALTHCARE, MEDIA, POLITICS AND SPIRITUALITY!In this sense, every family member at Liberty can take on “missional” responsibility to see the glory of God become a reality in our world… from Sunday through to Saturday every week.

EDUCATION THIS IS FOR THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE:TeacherLecturerWork in education
“I trained as a Mathematics and Science secondary school teacher and taught for several years in that sector. Our second daughter was born severely physically and mentally challenged and had a direct impact on the direction of my life, although I was still able to follow my passion/calling for education. During the therapy sessions and researching of child development, I became aware of the significant importance of stimulation and play-based activities in the first five years of a child’s life. Together with a social worker, we established Safe and Sound as a pre-school for domestic workers’ children and in 2005, the organisation focused on training Early Childhood Development practitioners from townships and informal settlements. Safe and Sound remains on the ‘cutting edge’ of developments in the Early Childhood Development Sector ensuring that children are equipped with a solid foundation to succeed in the formal schooling system. I am very excited about the Education Gateway in line with part of Liberty’s vision statement “We see the 7 Gateways infused with Kingdom Values”. There is so much happening in all phases of the Education system in South Africa and I look forward to developing strategies with you, strategies that could significantly impact the many we interact with – learners, parents, families and colleagues.”
