In 1979 Peter Pretorius, an affluent South African tobacco farmer, and his wife Ann came to the Lord after witnessing the dramatic healing of Peter’s father. Peter and Ann immediately began to passionately share the Gospel wherever they could. Within just three years, in October 1982, the ministry was founded.

Peter Pretorius was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. He recounts his childhood—a “riches to rags” story set in South Africa’s apartheid era. The injustices he witnessed would greatly influence him later in life when his father’s brush with death set Peter on a transformational path to salvation.

Jesus Alive Gospel Outreach (JAGO) has faithfully taken the Gospel to rural Africa for the past 35 years. Staying true to our vision of “going where others will not go and reaching the unreached where they are”, we now also take the Gospel to prisons in Kenya.
We have an incredible opportunity that cannot be missed. After the amazing responses and life-changing testimonies in two prisons, the Commissioner General of Prisons in Kenya has requested that we introduce our Christian Discipleship Programme (CDP) Teaching centres into 119 prisons in Kenya!
When Peter Pretorius started in ministry he had nothing to bank on, nothing to present anyone, no background in the church and certainly no knowledge of the Bible. He was straight off the street.
