Where did it all begin ?
Pastor Benny Roberts is the only son of John and Elizabeth Roberts. He was born in a coloured township, Kensington and grew up in a poorer part of Cape Town called Factreton. He is the on ly son and grew up with four sisters. (Jennifer, the eldest, passed away in 2004). He became a nightclub deejay at the age of 16 and went on to become a fulltime nightclub disc jockey at an international Chinese prostitution underground nightclub. In his last five years as a nightclub deejay, he worked Monday to Monday from 8 pm – 5pm and were very stressed out because of the lifestyle that went with it.
He never grew up in a religious home and when He accepted Jesus as Lord and saviour, he immediately turned his back on his previous lifestyle. In 1997 after receiving Christ as Lord and saviour at a factory were he worked, he was introduced to a pastoral couple who introduced him to Rhema Bible School teachings. In the same year he started a youth ministry, A.C.M and in no time they grew and became a much wanted youth ministry in Factreton. He left Cape Town for mission in the Boland, Wellington, Paarl and started a prison ministry with an American missionary, Rev. Dave Bliss who accepted him at the Andrew Murray Centre in Wellington.
In his firsts year he was used by God to be evangelistic and for about two years, he introduced prisonesrs to Jesus Christ. He helped prisoners and introduced them to the gospel on a daily basis.
He became director of associate training and staff and later had the responsibilty to train people in fulltime ministy. During these years he worked with visitors from all the corners of the earth and introduced them to the Cape Province cultures and Biblicall undestandings.
His only ministry focus and teachings has always been Biblcal and non denominational.
