Western Cape SCO

My name is Tshepo Leabile , from a small village

called Drieloop, which is in a small town called Kuruman

at the Northern Cape Province.I love God so much.

I am from a big family of nine children (“Be fruitful and multiply,

and fill the earth”, Gen 1:22). My father passed away in the

year 2005, after a month of being sick.

It was hard to believe and accept my father’s passing – but

God is a comforter, He wiped my tears away. I have my

mom, brothers and sisters who are very dear to me.

I came to Cape Town to study Information Technology and focused on the software development stream at Cape Peninsula University of Technology – Bellville Campus. I completed my National Diploma in 2006 and enrolled for my 2 year B-Tech part time last year and could not continue last year due to circumstances that were beyond my control (Eccl 3: 1). I am currently working in the IT Sector as a diplomat of Christ.

I came to know the Lord as my Saviour in the year 2004 in SCO. I thank God for the gift of a momentous life in its fullness. I then was made complete in Christ (Col 2:10). There are so many things I am thankful to God for, He is everything in my life.

SCO is a student’s ministry I came to love and have passion for. Being involved in SCO leadership has equipped and taught me many things that helped me grow spiritually. I was recently challenged so mightily; I can say was in a valley of dry bones. During that time I heard a loud sound of confusion, doubt, I wanted to quit but hey, my situation brought me light at the end of the tunnel. I understood that the fight is not mine but the Lord’s. I thank God for the challenge I went through because it brought me closer to Him than probably what it was intended to – just like an eagle… the stronger the storm, the higher it flies.

Below is SCO Bellville Campus Executive for 2008/9 elected by SCO Bellville Campus appointed by God. This is a group of vibrant young people, who understand that “the harvest is vast, but the workers are few” (Luke 10: 2). They are willing and have vowed to feed God’s flock.
