Gill Kretzschmar has had her fair share of life’s challenges!

After being a caregiver to her husband who battled liver and colon cancer for four years, Gill was widowed at the  age of 44.

As a single Mom, she successfully raised her two sons. During this time, Gill ran a thriving recruitment company for 25 years before going into fulltime ministry.

Gill has had her own cancer journey and she is a survivor of melanoma stage three.

During her growing up years, Gill experienced the pain of divorce at the age of 13 when her parents parted. She learnt much about mental illness as her brother spent his adult life under the anguish and torment of schizophrenia. Gill has witnessed supernatural healing in her own journey and in her family.

Gill is involved in counselling and facilitates support groups.

Gill is passionate to share her Christian faith to inspire and encourage others to receive God’s healing at a spiritual, emotional and physical level.

“I have learnt that living in the peace of God defeats anxiety, depression and fear. To meet the challenges of life, Jesus is the anchor for my soul. He keeps me firm and steadfast.

By placing my faith in Jesus, God’s peace gives me emotional stability.

Having been a care giver and a cancer survivor I naturally have an understanding, empathy and compassion required to communicate with people battling illness and enduring a long term challenge.

I have learnt much about emotional and spiritual growth alongside vital and practical issues such as good nutrition, a healthy lifestyle, stress management and the power of the Word, prayer and forgiveness.

I have been a Christian since 2004 and I have held leadership roles in various ministries. I have a degree in psychology, I love people and I am passionate about healing and my faith!

God gave me the vision for “Anchor for Life “in 2020  with the foundational scripture “This hope we have as an anchor for the soul, both sure and steadfast” Hebrews 6:19

Jesus is our living Hope and in Him we receive love, healing and restoration. On this course I believe we have been called to share our stories of healing with you to encourage you to conquer the challenges of your journey to wellness – emotionally, spiritually and physically.

The Word tells us in Proverbs 15:30

“Light in a messenger’s eyes brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones”

I believe we can share our positive life experiences with others to encourage and support them.

“I sought the Lord and He answered me, He delivered me from all my fears”
Psalm 34:4

“ The joy of the Lord is my strength”  Nehemiah 8:10
