The Robert and his wife Inga received the call to pastor the Brandon Vineyard Church in April 2018 and moved to Brandon, Manitoba in 2019. They both joined and served at Westman Youth for Christ at different times during the period 2020-2023.

Robert’s greatest passion is in worship ministry as well as philanthropic work of any kind. He has always worked in the accounting field, running his own small accounting practice in Cape Town, South Africa focused mostly on serving non-profit companies in South Africa. He has worked in a wide variety of contexts including the International House of Prayer, Kansa City, USA, Canadian personal long term care and property management industries as well as several South African charities.

Robert sees administration as his gift offering to support the work of the Kingdom mission of YFC Winnipeg but is equally passionate about building a strong team culture within any work environment he is engaged in, where all members of the team thrive and develop in their greatest skills to further the overall mission of the organization.

Robert and his wife Inga met at Kingdom Vineyard Christian Fellowship in Cape Town, South Africa in 1996 and have been married since 1998. They have 3 kids – Hannah, Isaac and Lily.
