The Vision

At the peak of her entrepreneurial journey — winning awards, hosting workshops, and traveling the country — Theri Rossouw held onto a recurring image: A grand stage. A sea of people. A message yet to be spoken. But despite the spotlight, she knew: This wasn't the stage. Not yet.

Then in 2018, a yearning stirred. A longing to walk — from Cape Town to Knysna — not for sport, but for purpose. It wasn’t yet clear why, only that it mattered.
Year after year, obstacles stood in the way. Until one morning in early 2025 — a moment in worship broke the silence.
The time had come.

The vision sharpened. The stage found its ground. The walk revealed its meaning. And the years of helping broken, beautiful souls all began to make sense.
The puzzle had finally come together.

From Vision to Movement

The Faith Journey is no longer just a dream. It is a living mission — a united journey across roads, music, and healing — one that invites you to walk, worship, give, and believe.

Together, we are building something eternal:
🔹 Faith awakened
🔹 Communities restored
🔹 Hope made practical
