23. Diocese of St Mark the Evangelist

The Diocese of St Mark the Evangelist (St Marks) comprises most of the National Province of Limpopo. The province of Limpopo was historically a patch-work quilt of Apartheid “homelands”, with 4 distinct “population groupings”. It has taken a great deal of hard work to integrate them all into one non-racial province. Great divides still exist between many of its 5 million people.

89% of the population lives in rural areas, with 46% of the people unemployed. Only 27% of the population subscribes to the Christian faith, limiting the church’s direct impact significantly. 53% of the population communicates in Northern Sotho, followed by Xitsonga (23%), Tshivenda (16%), Afrikaans (2%) and English (0.4%).

Her passions?
“I love the Lord Jesus and the Lord Jesus loves me and died for me – for this I am eternally thankful to God and want it known. He is the best because things go better with Christ Jesus. Amen.

I have a passion for only the ‘best’ - I love to see a positive result in any thing I lay my hands on.
My hobbies are watching “Day of Our Lives”, a TV soapy, singing praises and worship songs to edify my spirit and worship God. I also love to listen to Christian music and others that uplift and inspire. What makes me me, is that Christ lives in me, because I know that it is in Him that I live and move and have my being.”

Rosa is wonderfully supported by the Diocesan HIV & AIDS Task Team:

Rev Peter Wilson - Chairperson (popspete@mweb.co.za)
Mr Lebo Mmatli - Youth Leader
Ms Winnie Lekalakala - Wellness Management Programme Master Trainer
Mrs Paulina Manaka - Wellness Management Programme Master Trainer
