Derick & Sanet Vermeulen
About Us:
Derick and Sanet Vermeulen are passionate about helping others fulfill their life purpose, conducting business in accordance with God's principles, being faithful stewards of God's blessings, and empowering the less fortunate to achieve self-sufficiency. In 2006, we discovered our ministry calling through Career Direct. Derick assumed leadership of Crown Financial Ministries in Namibia, with Sanet supporting him in his responsibilities. In 2014, we established Adonai Trust, which has positively impacted numerous lives. With our faith in Christ, we will continue this work for God's glory until it's time to hand over the reins.
