Celebrating Women: Pastor Nyretta Boshoff

Pastor Nyretta Boshoff is the wife of Pastor At Boshoff (founder of Christian Revival Church, a network of churches all around South Africa and internationally with a mandate to “Win the Lost at any cost) and mother of three beautiful children: Angelique, David and Chanelle Boshoff.

As co-founder of CRC, pastor Nyretta is in charge of the Creative Arts department in CRC, she directs the music ministry of the congregations in Bloemfontein and Pretoria and is the executive producer of the music releases of CRC’s house-own praise and worship albums.

Under her leadership, the CRC Radiation Band won the MTN South African Music Awards (SAMAs) for Best Contemporary Christian Album in 2011 for their CD “With all my heart”, an achievement that has put Bloemfontein gospel music on the map.

She is also heading the Adopt-a-Crèche Project which was created to assist under-resourced day care centres in the local communities to ensure that they comply with government standards and regulations. The level of support that is provided include maintenance and upgrading of existing buildings (mostly shacks); provision of basic toiletries, stationary, furniture and equipment; the supply of basic clothing, blankets, schoolbags, and other much needed items. The women who care for these children are also trained.

Pastor Nyretta also hosts the annual CRC Women’s Conference , which is attended by women across the world and which has attracted speakers like Sam Evans (Planetshakers), Lisa Bevere (Author: Lioness Arising and Fight Like A Girl), Criselda Kananda (Metro FM), Seipati “Twasa” Seoke (Lesedi FM) and many others. She also hosts the CRC Crystal Awards, an event which has attracted talented artists in the following fields: Poetry, Photography, Fashion Design, Singing and Dancing.

I look up to pastor Nyretta as my spiritual mother, and as a woman who lives an exemplary life of dedication to the church of Christ and to her family.

Thank you for your leadership, mama. We love you!!!

Celebrating women: Chantyl Mulder CA (SA)

As we all (should) know, August is Women's month, and as a tribute to the Super women all around the world, I will be profiling the women that inspire me to do great exploits in my life.

My biggest heroine currently is Chantyl Mulder CA (SA) senior executive at the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA): professional development, transformation and growth. As founder of the  Thuthuka Education, Uplifment and Bursary Fund, which offers bursaries to previously disadvantaged students to study B.Com in order to become prospective CAs(SA), Chantyl has contributed to the transformation of the growth of African and Coloured chartered accountants in South Africa.
When Thutuka was launched in 2002 there were 322 African and 222 Coloured chartered accountants in South Africa. By the end of 2010 these numbers had grown exponentially to 1 845 African and 789 Coloured CAs(SA). There are also approximately 1 700 African and Coloured students in the pipeline to becoming chartered accountants through Thuthuka initiatives

Amongst her many achievements are the following:
Ms Mulder was a Shoprite Checkers/SABC 2 "Woman of the Year Award" nominee in the Education Category in 2005.
She was also nominated for the prestigious, "Boss of the Year Award" sponsored by the MTN SA Foundation.
Winner of the 2011 Most Influential Women in Business and Government .

Above all her accolades, what inspires me about Chantyl is that she is a Christian who lives every day to glorify God. She says she fasts once a week and prays daily about the programmes that she facilitates through Thuthuka.

In www.gatewaynews.co.za, Chantyl is quoted as saying: "(my sister gave me this scripture: Isaiah 43  "Fear not, I have redeemed you, I have summoned you by name , you are mine.
When you pass though the waters I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers; they will not sweep over you.
See I have called you by name and My hand of blessing is on you. I have anointed you for the task that is set before you. Fear not I will lead you and guide you. I will open doors for you to walk through them.”
This is exactly what Thuthuka and all the work I am doing in the country is all about."

"If we want to change our country, we have to educate its people" Chantyl Mulder

May the glory of God keep shining through her, and may more women rise up to serve South Africa with the same passion and courage that she carries.
I salute you, ms Mulder!!!
