Fullness of life can be yours in 2024. But it won’t be found via worldly measures of success, says Pete Portal
It was almost 15 years ago that I quit my job in TV, packed my bags and set off for South Africa, aged 23. Having grown up in a middle-class home in London and come to faith as a teenager, I was eager to close the gap between what I read in scripture and what my life looked like. A year after arriving in Cape Town, I moved into a township called Manenberg and invited young men wanting help to leave addiction and gang membership to come and live with me. My life had been changed by Jesus, and I wanted to extend his invitation for “life in all its fullness” (John 10:10, NCV) to those living in a version of hell.
