Carlin Govender, the senior pastor and the founder of Word of Faith Churches (WOFC) in Chatsworth and Phoenix is launching a new groundbreaking WOFC App which is aimed at spreading the gospel and revolutionising the experience of church.

The family man and father of two also aspires to spread positivity by transforming faith through technology.

The 42-year-old, who was born and raised in Park Rynie has always had a passion for technology and this endeavour underlies his unwavering commitment to empowering his community and to empower people of all ages and from all walks of life to be a confident participant in the digital world.

He also wants to use the app to increase their outreach through modern technology.

With the use of Govender's support and his new app, his congregants and community members will be able to access spiritual content and use this as a guiding force during challenging times.

This move is also a unification of Govender's two passions - spirituality and technology.
