Pastor Mahlangu is on a mission
He is a man on a mission; his main concern is not only the young people of this country but family units as a whole.
Not only is Pastor Isaac Mahlungu a pastor in his church, he is socially involved in other activities as well.
He is the founder of Operation Sivezukukhanya’s (OS), which was started in 2002.
“Young people are exposed to many dangerous things
which they did not come into contact with before. Things like drugs, alcohol, crime, sexual activities and violence.
It is not surprising because older brothers are doing things and younger people think it is right,” noted Pastor Mahlangu.
OS has other programs like guiding parents on how to parents their children. The organisation also help young people who are on drugs helping them out, OS is also involved in a feeding scheme and caring program. Poor families within the communities are identified and are
given food parcels every month. The organisation plan to build a multi-purpose drop-in centres in the future so that their work and projects can be effective.
Recently the organisation held a camp for young people.
In the camp different activities were held, they included life skills, character development, gospel updating and counseling. The camp also helped adolescents (youths) to protect themselves and to know the purpose of God. The camp also helped them to discover themselves and protect themselves from drugs, alcohol and teenage pregnancy and their purpose in life.
“I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans about the future you hope for,” (Jeremiah 29:11).
Pastor Mahlangu believes that many young people have good plans about their future, but they fail because they are not connected with their Creator.
“Don’t wait until it’s too late, don’t wait until your child is involved in drugs, alcohol and sexual activities. Teach your child how he/she should live so that later they can turn away from these evil activities,” added Pastor Mahlangu.
Pastor Mahlangu also noted that they have realised that single parents bring up a lot of young people especially mothers and young people need a father figure. He said boy’s needs guidance to develop properly.
Pastor Mahlangu has also started an organisation for men called Men of Destiny.
“I want men to lift up their hands and pray without anger and argument. Our country needs men to repent and seek the face of God and pray that God will heal our land and bless our families. To set free our young ones from drugs and alcohol, teenage pregnancy and curses that is on our hands,” ended Pastor Mahlangu.
OS recently held a nine days national youth outreach camp in Ermelo as part of Msukaligwa Youth Collection and Development program.
The organisation needs financially assistance.
