According to Wikipedia, the word ‘history’ is described as inquiry, knowledge acquired by investigation, the systematic study and documentation of the human past and investigate their patterns of cause and effect.
For Alvin and Jean Witten, it was not only the case of investigating past undocumented history but also lent an opportunity to create their own ‘he’story’ when they answered the call to undertake an extraordinary task.
In his professional life, Alvin worked in the Training and Development Sector with a focus on Leadership Training in Cape Town South Africa. He was quite accustomed to travelling to other African countries namely Namibia, Zambia, Uganda, and Kenya. Additionally, Witten also served as a Spiritual Leader in the New Apostolic Church, South Africa where he spent many years facilitating Ministerial and Theological Training.
In a recent interview with Alvin Witten, he shared what the extraordinary task was which concluded with the writing and publication of a book called Searching for Churches, Five wild years in Mozambique.
“Searching for Churches” is a compelling account of Alvin Witten and his wife Jean’s extraordinary mission in Mozambique.
At the age of 60, they were tasked with searching for churches across a country unknown to them, leading to an unforgettable five-year journey of discovery, faith, and cultural immersion. This book explores the personal challenges they faced, from overcoming language barriers to dealing with the emotional weight of separation from loved ones. Alvin weaves together moments of triumph and hardship, offering readers a heartfelt glimpse into their pursuit of purpose in a land vastly different from their own.
