Church visit | Pastor Richard langworthy | south africa

Pastor Richard Langworthy and his wife, Ingrid, visited Bridgeway Family Church in Durban, South Africa, from 8 to 12 January 2026. Pastor Richard shared on both Sunday mornings and devoted much of the week to meeting with local church leadership, families, couples, and the youth. Every gathering had a clear and unified focus: to remind each person of the faith needed to respond fully to God’s purpose and calling on their lives.

Across the two Sunday messages, Pastor Richard unpacked three key themes. He first reminded the church of the apostolic vision for Durban, shared more than twenty years ago. He then called every member to rise in faith and rediscover how the Lord intends to use this church to bring meaningful, powerful impact to the surrounding community and the city. Finally, he gave a clear, practical exhortation on the vital importance of guarding our Christian testimony in the world we live in today.

It was also a great privilege to have Ingrid share at the first ladies’ meeting of the year. Her message was deeply encouraging, set a strengthening tone for the months ahead, and blessed the sisters in a special and timely way.

A rich programme to start the year well and full of encouragement!
