Our guest speaker: James Pearce

James is the co-founder and former joint CEO of SMSPortal, which he started in 2003 with a friend, while studying BSc IT (Computer Science) at the University of Port Elizabeth (before being rebranded as the Nelson Mandela University).

James focused on the technical development of the business and helped to scale it into one of Africa's largest bulk messaging platforms (delivering up to 100 million messages per day for banks and corporate service providers), before selling the business in November 2025.

James currently supports the local tech ecosystem through start-up ventures, angel investing, and mentorship. He also serves within JoshGen, overseeing property and facility projects for the new LEAP Campus and several Cape Town congregations.

About Our Group: As followers of Jesus, we believe our work is worship. This group therefore connects Christians across congregations to share practical wisdom and be encouraged by testimonies of God's hand in our careers.

Registration: Kindly reserve your tickets via Quicket by Tuesday, 17 November, so that the seating and catering teams can plan accordingly. If you are inviting guests, please remember to include their tickets as well. Ticket types include:
