Ivan J Naidoo
Ivan, our visionary, is the presiding Pastor at The Abundant Life Centre. He entered public life at the age of 16 whilst in school and since then had a passion towards community development. He served in many spheres of church administration and Government. Drawing out the latent potential in people is his brand and passion. He studied various fields of management and believes his bedrock was the study of the Holy Bible which completed his understanding of man. The Department of Home Affairs has accredited him as a Marriage Officer and Commissioner of Oaths. He is married to Kumarie, a pillar of support to him in ministry. Networks and synergy are his catalyst to holding communities together through moral ethics.
S. R. Paul (26.01.1923 - 29.11.2019)
Pastor Paul, born on the 26th of January 1923 was called to rest on 29 November 2019 (96 years of age), whilst actively involved in sharing the evangelistic Gospel of Jesus Christ. Over the years, he profoundly demonstrated an apostolic calling. His calling started by giving his heart to Jesus Christ on the 17th of April 1940 at Kearsney, KZN, South Africa, being lead by God to plant many Church assemblies on the North Coast of Kwa-Zulu Natal; 12 in total. After 54 years of marriage, his loving wife was called to rest. They were blessed with 5 children, 15 grand children and 19 great-grand children with more to come. With more than 79 years of effective Christian Ministry, he believed that there is no retirement in the Kingdom of God and we need to reach the lost, towards a great end-time harvest until God calls him home. His character and profound ministry is dearly missed.
