“Back to the Garden” Brings Two-City Revival Weekend To Joburg & Cape Town
“Back to the Garden” Brings Two-City Revival Weekend To Joburg & Cape Town. The Beauty of Transparency is summoning churches, small groups, and hungry hearts to an autumn gathering described as more than a conference—a holy call. Under the banner “Back to the Garden,” the three-day experience invites a generation to return to the altar to be purified, restored, and repositioned for purpose.
The weekend spans two cities with one heartbeat. On 17–18 October, the movement gathers at Rhema Bible Church, Johannesburg; on 19 October, it continues at CHS Life Centre, Cape Town. Event artwork highlights a diverse roster of voices, speakers, facilitators, panellists, and worship leaders, signalling an intergenerational, multi-gifted convocation where the altar is open and the response is ours.
At the heart of the gathering is a collaborative roster of trusted voices. Keynote speakers include Jackie Hill Perry, Megan Ashley, and Apostle Kabelo Moroke, leaders known for Scripture-rooted teaching and unapologetic devotion to Jesus. The event is hosted by Tiisetso Kgomo, founder of The Beauty of Transparency. Together, they will serve, teach, and also sit in conversation across the weekend’s sessions.
Guiding the flow of the rooms are facilitators who keep the focus on encounter and honest dialogue: Blaque Nubon, a pastoral voice and therapist whose presence anchors several men’s conversations, and Thato Rabatseta, whose facilitation helps translate revelation into practical next steps. Their role is to shape space for repentance, healing, and commissioning—so transformation isn’t reduced to content but becomes a lived response.
Worship is the weekend’s lifeblood. Mmuso Worship—the Pretoria-based collective known for congregational anthems—will lead the house in extended moments of sung prayer. They are joined by Oncemore Six, a worship leader whose songs often appear alongside the collective, and Siba Mrwebi, whose ministry emphasises prayer-soaked devotion. Expect unhurried space for God to move, songs as prayer, not performance, so people can linger long enough for real change.
Beyond the main platform, the conference leans into unfiltered, pastoral conversations that meet people where they really live. Panellists include Ps Israel Phiri, Tom Ntuli, Phinius Sebatsane, and Busisiwe Mothudi, who will address identity, healing, discipleship, calling, relationships, and the practical outworking of faith in everyday life. These exchanges are designed to pair spiritual hunger with wise counsel, ensuring that altar moments translate into Monday rhythms.
While the format includes familiar elements—messages, music, and moderated dialogue, the heartbeat is unmistakably altar-centric. Ministry moments are woven throughout rather than reserved for a closing song, with room given to repentance, confession, intercession, and commissioning. Attendees should come with Bibles, journals, and a margin to linger. Leaders are encouraged to bring small groups and teams so that what begins in the room can be carried home into churches, campuses, and workplaces.
Believers in Jesus Christ can expect Scripture-rooted messages that rekindle devotion and clarify calling; extended, Spirit-led worship that makes room for encounter, healing, and surrender; and unfiltered panel conversations tackling heart work, holiness, vocation, and culture with honesty and hope. Ministry at the altar will be central throughout, with trained teams serving those seeking repentance, restoration, and commissioning.
The theme lands at a timely moment. In a cultural climate of distraction and hurry, “Back to the Garden” calls the church to the source; back to the presence of God, where identity is recovered, burdens are lifted, and assignments are reignited. Organisers emphasise this is not spectacle but reset: mission flowing from encounter, not exhaustion.
Practically, the schedule opens with a youth hangout and prayer-and-worship night on Friday, continues with a full Saturday of teaching and conversation, and culminates with a Sunday encounter in Cape Town. The flow is simple: prepare the heart, make room for God, receive instruction, and be sent.
