Background

Mamelodi is situated to the east of downtown Pretoria, approximately 30 kilometres from the centre of town. It was the first mission congregation within the FRCSA and the work was initially started by members of the FRC Pretoria. A large area of Mamelodi comprises dilapidated houses made from aluminium. People live in poor circumstances and the mission work started as meetings held in the living rooms of these houses. Rev T de Boer was called as missionary in 1983 and with his departure back to the Netherlands, Rev M de Vries resided there for a short period until Rev J Bosman took over in 1991. The church in Mamelodi has become a self governing church within the FRCSA during 2003.They have now taken over the work in Nellmapius and are the missionary church for the growing congregation in Nellmapius.

Nellmapius

Nellmapius is a new development south of Mamelodi. The mission congregation is being served by Rev Tebogo Mogale, assisted by two mission students namely Phineas Kgatle and Sam Mathlokoane.

The church comprises approximately 70 members that meet each Sunday to listen to the Word of God being preached. Bible study is also offered to the members of the church and the youth actively participated in catechism, which is mainly provided for by the mission students.
