Basil Sparks
As a seasoned leader, pastor, author, and outdoors enthusiast, I'm driven by a passion to empower individuals to thrive. With roots in South Africa, my journey has been a rich tapestry of experiences - from the rugged beauty of growing up on a cattle farm to serving as senior leader of a church in Durbanville, Cape Town, for over two decades. My heart beats for authentic leadership, meaningful connections, and unlocking human potential.
