In July 2024, Prince Magana and Zikhona Magana left their established lives and ministry in Gauteng to answer God’s call to full-time missionary work in the rural village of Tsholomnqa, Eastern Cape. Accompanied by their two young children, they relocated to a community they had never previously known, trusting God to establish a prayerful missionary presence among the people of Tsholomnqa.
Today they serve as leaders of Divine Life Missionary Church, a ministry committed to making disciples, equipping believers for missionary living, and bringing reconciliation between communities and their Creator through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Their work includes discipleship, schools outreach, community evangelism, leadership development, prayer, and missionary training.
At the beginning of 2025, 24-7 Prayer South Africa formally received the Maganas as a missionary community within the movement, walking alongside them as they seek to embody and demonstrate the values of Prayer, Mission, and Justice in one of South Africa’s most underserved rural regions.
The Eastern Cape remains one of South Africa’s most vulnerable provinces. What began as helping a few children with homework around their dining room table evolved into a reading club, and eventually a fully functioning community library operating from their family home. Children now come for books, school projects, internet access, printing facilities, homework assistance, and mentoring. The project has grown beyond the capacity of their home and has become unsustainable within their current space.
The vision is to establish a permanent community hub consisting of two converted shipping containers on donated land.
Container One: Library & Learning Centre
Container Two: Prayer & Discipleship Centre
Target amount: £12,000 – £15,000
Funding will support:
• Purchase and delivery of two shipping containers
• Conversion and fitting of both containers
• Property fencing and security
• Library shelving and educational resources
• Tables, chairs and furnishings
• Electrical installation and basic infrastructure
• Prayer room and training equipment
• Community signage and site preparation

How it works
The tradition of The Gathering Auction goes back further than we care to remember, and is unlike anything you will have experienced before.
The best way to sum it up in one word is OUTRAGEOUS.
It is an opportunity for outrageous giving to some highly worthy causes connected with 24-7 Prayer.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I bid?
We want everyone to be involved, but please only donate what you can afford to give. We’re encouraging outrageous generosity, but if you give £1 or £1000, you are still a star in our eyes.
Can I donate towards more than one item?
Of course! Donate towards as many items as many times as you like but, as hard as it may be, try not to get too carried away!
Where does my money go?
Each lot will support a different cause, and all causes are listed on the website. ALL the money received from the donations will go to that cause.
