Ministry and Career

Adrian has been the Lead Pastor at Siloam Word of Truth Brakpan for over 10 years as of 2025. Under his guidance, the church has grown into a key community hub in Gauteng, hosting weekly services, podcasts, and transforming conferences. The last 2 years have been fulfilling for the Lead Pastoral couple as they’ve been instrumental in the birthing of new Siloam Campuses, one in a country hostile to the Christian faith and two in areas underrepresented by a church of Siloam’s stature. Prior to full-time ministry, Adrian worked as a Learning and Development Consultant at Standard Bank South Africa, where he honed skills in leadership consulting, execution diligence, and training, qualities that now fuel his pastoral role. He is also an active podcaster, producing content through Siloam’s platforms to extend the church’s reach beyond physical walls.
