New pastor at Radiant Life Ministries
Pastor Rufus Latchmigadu was a spiritual son of the late Pastor Vasin Gounden.
RADIANT Life Ministries (RLM in Palmview, Port Shepstone inducted Rufus Latchmigadu into the ministry as assistant to Pastor Rangie Gounden.
The change in leadership was brought about by the death of well-known Pastor Vasin Gounden, who died in June last year.
The church has been operating under the leadership of Pastor Rangie Gounden and the church council for the past six months. The ministry has been blessed that Pastor Vasin equipped and empowered many sons and daughters in the house to be able to pick up the baton and make the transition seamlessly. The induction service was conducted by Pastor Jacob Isaac of Christian Impartation Ministries.
Pastor Latchmigadu is no stranger to RLM. He has been a spiritual son of the late Pastor Vasin Gounden. Pastor Latchmigadu comes from the stalwart Latchmigadu family, which has had strong links with the church since the missionaries brought the gospel to South Africa.
He has served as the leader of the worship team and has been the visionary behind the formation of United in Worship, which is an interchurch fellowship of worship teams and song leaders. He has also been a member of the Radiant Life Ministries council for many years.
Pastor Gounden, together with the council and congregation of RLM congratulated Pastor Latchmigadu on his induction into the ministry.
The leadership of RLM has full confidence that having walked and worked so closely with the late Pastor Gounden in ministry, he has an intimate grasp of the vision and heartbeat of the church. He has pledged to continue the vision set out by Pastor Vasin to serve the broader community of Port Shepstone.
