Nurturing soulful organisations

Most of us desire to live soulfully, especially in our professional lives. We want to give ourselves to something that resonates with our passions, alongside others who feel equally engaged and inspired to bring their true selves forward. In essence, we long to be a part of a soulful organisation. But what exactly do soulful organisations look like, and how do we nurture them? In this guest article, BeSoulful founder, André Kilian, shares insights on how to cultivate greater authenticity and soulful integration in our organisations to unlock impact and purpose.

Igniting potential, transforming Africa

Across the Mergon Foundation’s South Africa, sub-Saharan Africa and Middle East & North Africa portfolios, we partner with ministries who sense the responsibility and potential of investing in the next generation. Through different contextualised programmes and initiatives, these ministries share the gospel and disciple youth in creative ways, train them in practical leadership and life skills and, ultimately, play a significant role in launching young people into all God created them to be.

A season of transitions

In this episode of Our Mergon Journey podcast, Mergon board chairman Dick van der Walt provides insights into Mergon’s leadership transition around 2008, when founder Francois van Niekerk handed over the reins to Pieter Faure and his new team. This article captures highlights of their candid conversation. The conversation kicked off with Pieter diving into Dick's long-standing connection with Mergon, which began when Francois requested Dick’s assistance in securing a tax-exempt status for the Atterbury Trust.

A glimpse into Mergon Foundation’s funding approach

As a Foundation with a long history of partnering with impactful ministries, we have been through many learning curves. We have persistently sought the Lord and adapted the way we do things out of obedience to Him and His purposes for the Mergon Foundation. He has taken us on a journey and shaped our thinking, including our funding approach. How we show up in spaces, our posture of partnership and the focus that we place on relationships are all critical to our funding strategy.
