Cape Town, South Africa, is a city of great natural beauty, a coastal vacation destination with a diverse array of people groups, languages, and cultures. Yet it is also a city with great economic disparity, political conflict, and racial tension. MTW South Africa ministers in both of these worlds.

Approximately half the population of Cape Town lives in the outlying townships, primarily non-white areas likened to overcrowded ghettos. Most pastors here have little to no training; the need for solid theological education here is enormous. MTW South Africa desires to be a Reformed voice in training these pastors and church leaders and encouraging Reformed church plants in the townships. The team also partners with local churches in several outreach ministries.

Additionally, the team has planted RUF Global ministries at the two top-ranked universities on the continent. RUF is helping grow Presbyterian church plants on both the University of Cape Town and the nearby Stellenbosch University campuses. The UCT chapter serves students academically and emotionally, as well as spiritually, adding life skills training and biblical counseling to the RUF evangelism, teaching, discipleship, and fellowship model.
