Dewald & Marizane Gouws
Awaken Church is a Spirit-led, presence-centered church based at 13B Plankenburg Street, Stellenbosch. Founded in 2018 as The Voice Ministries and re-established in 2023 as Awaken Church, we stepped into a prophetic identity — to awaken a people who carry the Presence of God into every sphere of life.
We build according to obedience, not preference — committed to sound Scripture and the active power of the Holy Spirit.
