National Staff

Anton van Dam - Falling Forward Coordinator

Anton joined Journey staff as an intern in 2021 after serving for a few years as a coordinator on Journey programs at his local church. He currently oversees the Falling Forward programme - being passionate about walking with those struggling with sexual addiction and, particularly, the hopelessness they face as a consequence - helping men to see that their addiction is the very platform they can use to find deeper connection with God and his people. He and his wife, Suzanne, have 2 daughters and live in the south of Johannesburg.

 

Cindy McDonald - National Coordinator

Cindy loves walking with people as they discover the joy and freedom that comes from knowing God and being known by Him, as well as growing in being known in relationship with others. She deeply enjoys conversations with God, even the hard ones, and being with others in their conversations with God.  She loves witnessing the brave steps into new life the beautiful people she gets to meet through Journey take. She enjoys travel, nature, travelling in nature, creativity, spending time with her people, laughing, reading…and lots more - including the two cutest cats in the world who call her house home.

Craig has been involved with Journey South Africa since 2001 and has been serving as the director for JSA since 2013. Craig has a passion for seeing local church leaders find freedom from hiddenness, discover the truth of their identities in Christ, and become safe places for wounded people in their communities. Craig, his wife Kathy, and their daughter Mayah, live in the south of Johannesburg.

 

Megan Matcher - I.T & Online Facilitator

Megan joined the Journey staff in an administrative capacity in 2019. Since then, her role has grown to include managing various I.T software programs and online platforms involved in the functioning of the national office.
