ABOUT US
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"
We have been journeying in this new reality together for some time and have a passion for more people to experience the same. We have discovered that in the communion of Jesus Christ, we find freedom, bliss, love and our True Selves. That Christ has come to live in the hearts of believers and enable us to live in His; therefore we have an expectation for that reality to become known in the world. (Hebrews 2:14-18) Everything we do is in response to His goodness and love.
Kardia (Greek for the heart) is the name that the Holy Spirit gave us to represent the culture that we want to see established on the Earth and YHVH has divinely connected with others around the world that are on a similar path as us.
​
As a ministry involved with training, seminars, conferences and events, we are open for speaking invitations and networking. We are based in Cape Town, South Africa but our reach is across the globe!
