A Brief History
In 2003, God called our founder Marko Kiroglu to equip and empower His Church. This specific calling and love for the followers of Jesus Christ are the reasons why this ministry began in 2009.
Since this ministry has been founded, we have been working to empower the Body of Christ with the love of God and biblical truth. We aim to proclaim the Gospel of salvation through Jesus alone to countless people all over the world.

Meet Pastor Marko Kiroglu
Pastor Marko is the founding director of Countdown to Christ Ministries and Pastor of Die Kruishuis Kerk in Cape Town.
He specialises in Bible prophecy and giving people a true hope based on the gospel of Jesus Christ.
He was born and raised in Turkey as a nominal Muslim and became a passionate follower of Jesus Christ after a radical encounter with the Holy Spirit in November 2001.
For his faith in Jesus Christ and for proclaiming the Gospel of Christ, he was persecuted and even beaten to the point of death. However, God miraculously saved him.
While he was serving in the Turkish church God called him to South Africa, where he also met and got married to his South African wife, Elzeth.
In 2009 they started a ministry together that later became the current Countdown to Christ Ministries.
He is a passionate and proficient teacher of the Bible, ministering both in Afrikaans and English. He is also an exceptional radio and YouTube presenter on Bible Prophecies and the end times.
Marko and Elzeth serve Jesus together and God has blessed them with three children.

Statement of Faith
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God.
We believe in a literal interpretation of the Creation story as recorded in Genesis 1-3.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He is the God of the Bible. He is the Father of Jesus Christ and He is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
We believe in the deity of Jesus, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, and in our redemption through His shed blood.
We believe in Jesus’ bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His imminent return as the King of the heavens and the earth.
We believe in pre-tribulation rapture, where the true believers in Jesus Christ will be taken out of this world in the blink of an eye.
We believe Jesus will return with His bride (the previously raptured Church) to reign over this earth from Jerusalem for a thousand years, bringing peace, righteousness and justice.
We believe that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for the salvation of lost and sinful men.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the saved unto the resurrection of life, and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
