Alan Platt

Alan Platt is an agent of transformation in the lives of individuals, local churches and corporate structures of society. He has been in full-time ministry since 1983, serving the church on various levels. Under his leadership of Doxa Deo, a strong city-reaching strategy has been established. In Tshwane (Pretoria, South Africa) Doxa Deo serves 30000 people (referred to as partners) in ten different campuses (local churches functioning as one integrated church in the city).

This Ministry has also established churches in five other cities in South-Africa, as well as three internationally (London, UK: Auckland, NZ; and Stuttgart, Germany).

Doxa Deo has established various educational institutions (Pre, Elementary, through to High Schools) that serve to educate the next generation in Christ Centred education. Intentional engaging of existing public educational institutions by having a permanent presence in State schools in South Africa is part of their ministry strategy to affect the transformation of communities.

Vocational Education and Training Centres have been established to prepare people vocationally, also reaching the students spiritually, emotionally and physically through a counselling, medical, dental and eye care services.

The Ministry reaches out to HIV, abandoned and Special Needs children in several orphanages managed by The Doxa Deo Ministry.

Through their City Changers Institute, people are trained for effectiveness vocationally in the areas of Church, Education, Social Society and Business.

The City Changers movement has been birthed by the Doxa Deo ministry to facilitate greater integration and synergy between the kingdom initiatives in the different spheres of society.

Through Alan’s primary gifting in leadership and teaching, he has not only established an exceptionally dynamic leadership team in Doxa Deo, but he has also influenced a wide spectrum of organisations, denominations and church networks internationally. His influence extends beyond the church to the influencing of the business sector, education and society at large.

Alan’s capacity to communicate with small groups as well as large crowds makes him a sought-after speaker across the globe. His material on the finished work of Christ, as well as the Church and City Transformation has impacted many people, leaders and ministries. Alan has recently authored his first book titled ‘We start at Finish’, fast becoming a life changing instrument for many ministries.

Alan is married to Leana and they have two children, Duncan and Amy.
