Erena van de Venter is an Afrikaner, a Social Worker by profession. She is the 3rd generation of German missionaries Peter and Louise Sterrenberg who came to SA in 1859, to serve the Cape Coloured people.

The cross and the switchblade is the movie that planted the seed for her to start working with young men in gangs in the late 1980s in Worcester, South Africa. What was the challenges and obstacles that she had to overcome? A man of peace gave her really good advice for working cross-culturally with the gangs. Listen to find out what that was.

Erena now works with the Change Maker program helping young men get out of gangs and drugs. Join me and Caleb in this exhilarating conversation. Like Caleb says, a story RIGHT out of the movies.
