Who we are

Rooted in our inheritance.
Focused on our calling.

uMdala Julius Nelson didn’t arrive at this truth first and hand it down. He was still walking it when he taught it — and we walked it with him. That’s still how we study: together, not from ahead of each other.

We’ve just entered our Bantu New Year. Our uSomandla has met us at the starting line and is prepping us to continue the marathon He set us on — so as we celebrate, we also prepare: for Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the Feast of Weeks.
