Teaching psychology and training counselors
at AGTS is not just an academic exercise for Johan Mostert. After
several years in his early career as a pastor of the Apostolic
Faith Mission in South Africa, he left the comfort of prosperous
parish ministry to become a pastoral counselor among abused and
abandoned children at the Villa Lubet Children’s village. For
the next twenty years he served the needs of South Africa’s
poorest and most vulnerable citizens, directing the National Welfare
Department of his denomination for more than a decade. The
severity of the AIDS crisis and compassion for the rural poor eventually
led him to begin Chrisnet, a faith-based organization dedicated
to channeling government grants to local churches and Christian
sustainable development projects. He
is widely recognized as a leading authority on local-church response
to the global AIDS pandemic and travels frequently as a speaker
and project consultant for faith-based development agencies. His
passion as a teacher is to train counselors who will respond to
human suffering wherever it is found with biblical and psychological
skill and Spirit-led compassion.
"I am passionate about helping students gain a global and holistic perspective on the power of the gospel to transform lives and change entire communities.." — Johan Mostert
