Resonate Global Missions
Resonate for Helfers

Tyler and Christina Helfers

 Tyler serves as the pastor of Stellenbosch International Fellowship (SIF). The church offers various opportunities for faith exploration and spiritual formation, we also provide more in-depth training for Christians to equip them for servant leadership in both the church and community.

Christina uses her gift of hospitality to welcome people into our home. She also helps with a women’s support group that is offered at the university.

Through the ministry of SIF, we reach out to migrant workers, refugees, and the 30,000+ students of Stellenbosch University, especially postgraduate students and their families. These students come from around the world, including many from 10/40 countries like Libya, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and China. Many of them will be influential leaders upon returning to their home countries and we have the opportunity to send them there with the good news of Christ.

Chelsey Nugteren

Every Navigator’s passion is to help others to know Christ, make Him known, and help others do the same. Through small-group Bible studies and Life-to-Life discipleship, we come alongside people and teach them to be Christ’s followers as they study and apply the Word of God to chart their lives. Then we train them to pass what they have learned on to others.
