Getting to Know Us
Magda Els is married to Gerhard Els since 2009 and blessed with two beautiful daughters. She gave her life to God while pregnant with their firstborn in 2010. In 2014 she started working at the local church’s Sunday School while studying at Christian Leaders from August 2019. Currently she works full-time as a home school mother and at Mattana Ministry.
Coming to Christ and Calling to Ministry
Although Magda always knew about God and attended church during her youth and young adult life; it was only in 2010 when she gave her life to Him. During 2014 she volunteered as a Sunday School Teacher where she noticed that adults catered for children’s physical and emotional well-being but neglected their spiritual well-being. Her passion for telling more people about Jesus inspired her to work harder towards finding ways of reaching out to both youth & children.
The Calling to Mattana Ministry/Soul Center
The epidemic of 2020 caused churches all over the world closed down with many hesitant about returning even after reopening; mainly parents who were afraid of bringing young children back due to safety concerns along with losing interest among youths/young people towards traditional churches.
As more people spent time on their phones or social media platforms during this time; Holy Spirit guided Magda into starting Mattana Ministry which came into existence on January 1st ,2023 has grown rapidly across various Social Media Platforms since then!
