Where it all Started
Christo and Estelle Campher, founders of His Place Ministry and later known as His Place Developing Centre, had the desire to serve God and to help others.
They have an open hand and open heart to the less fortunate through out their lives. As they grew their family and home educated their children, they were able and actively involved within their local church. During those years there were children and young teenagers from a nearby settlement that regularly came begging for food. It became apparent that regardless of the dire circumstances that these children had to endure, some was without shelter at times. Moved with compassion Christo and Estelle started to assist however they could and began to evangelise to these children, firstly at their home, teaching them the love of Jesus and the good news of the kingdom of God. As the relationship with these children grew Christo and Estelle started to go into the settlements these children came from, continuing to preach and evangelise within those communities.
At that time, it became clear that God wanted them to create a haven for all that seek it, and to teach them from the word of God and provide education and literacy to both children and adults.
During the year 2000, they were involved in a spirit filled ministry, serving God and the community, however the dream and vision God has placed within their hearts was to build a ministry focused on education. In 2005 they began with training and education of their first group of students at their home, using the word of God as the foundation of their education. God through His Spirit gave the name His Place to them and in November of 2005 they started their own Ministry under the name, His Place. God has opened the doors to fulfil this vision by assisting in attaining their current premises.
In 2006 they took in their first group of students in the Literacy Centre, providing school and education during the week and present church services over the weekends. His Place is still growing from strength to strength, pursuing the vision and strategy God gives them.
