My personal mission for GoMaD:

Ingo van der merwe

“I hold to the idea that one practices the way one plays, so this mission trip is filled with experiential learning and dialogue, study and practice, adventure and solitude, challenge and growth, accountability, and responsibility, living the idea of being a living sacrifice.”
“I deeply believe in God and His call on my life and so endeavour to live my life in such a way that all is integrated into this belief.”
“I am old school. I am more concerned with the renewal of your mind more than your feelings. My job is to make you stand on your own two feet, on solid ground, in faith.”

Where it all Began

For young adults today life is predicated on fundamental ideas that the past way of doing things is wrong and not just out of date. The individual is free to choose everything and anything and no one may interfere with the individual’s pursuit of choices that make them happy as that is the ultimate goal of life. Values and principles that stood the test of time are discarded. Authority is lost. The only thing left then is the self. That is all that matters, therefore love yourself first and foremost.

Social media and virtual connectivity have made this era the most connected and relational, yet the most lonely and anxious. Why is all this not working and why do the youth feel left with a yearning for meaning and purpose and no way to fulfil it. Young men in particular feel disconnected and sidelined because the world tells them that the natural leaning of a man is bad and destructive.

I too was young once and was afforded time and space to ‘grow up’ and discover who I am and what I believe about life. I believe that what our youth need is time and space to ‘grow up’, think, dialogue, test and determine the way they should go.

GoMaD offers just that. A place and process that will allow you to freely question anything and everything, be seriously challenged as you are a young adult, stretched out of your comfort zone and given opportunities to serve and grow. You cannot but be affected. And you will have a great adventure to boot.
