God be praised for His goodness to me over the years. He has guided me through many trials to finally bring me here. As of the 13th September 2026 I am an ordained minister of His holy Word. May He guide my steps as I carry this cross to its destination. May He also bless the fraternity of both the pastors and the congregations of the Free Evangelical Lutheran Synod in South Africa, so that they do not lose sight of the confession that defines and unites them.

Pastor Philip Wortmann

Die Einführung von Pastor Andreas Albers findet am 2. Oktober in der St.-Paulus-Gemeinde in Pretoria statt.
