“When last did you tell anyone about Jesus?”
This was the opening question Riaan Swiegelaar, guest speaker at New Life Church’s men’s breakfast, asked.

Riaan, with all his tattoos, stood out among the crowd on June 14, and he said that after a long battle between him and God, he realised that God had greater plans for him, more than he could ever have imagined.
Riaan hit the news headlines when he successfully registered the satanic church as a religious organisation in 2020.
“Our minds are a battlefield, the first area the enemy attacks. But, God is like water that runs down and meets us wherever we are,” Riaan said.
He told the men that the war for souls is intense and for the man who serves God the onslaught and attacks is so much more.
Riaan encouraged the men and said if you have Jesus in your boat, you are not in for smooth sailing, but you have a navigator and captain who will steer you through the storm.
