HANLI SLABBERT
...was born in the district of Moorreesburg near Cape Town in South Africa. She always has a desire to sing but it was only at the age of 14 that a teacher started to enter her for many Eisteddfod singing competitions. She furthered her studies in voice training at the Conservattorium of the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa.

She however chose a career in the teaching profession because of her love for sport (tennis). In 1974 she married Danie and settled in Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) where their 3 children- daughter Hanel and twins Nicolaas and Hano were born.

July, 1978 will remain the most important day in her life as she surrendered to Jesus Christ by accepting His wonderful gift of salvation. It was during the war of independence that this young family was attacked in their homestead. As the enemy opened fire on them with RPG7 rockets, AK47 machine guns and mortars, she cried out to God. After being saved-she knew that she wanted to use this gift from God to serve Him and bring glory to His Name across the earth.

For many years she sang throughout South Africa- did a lot of recording, radio and television work but then the doors opened internationally. It was greatly due to invitations by the International Christian Embassy of Jerusalem that she was invited all over the world. For the last 10 years, she ministered in song at the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem.

ELKANAH MINISTRIES is the work of God the Father who uses this vehicle to draw people to His Son Jesus Christ(Y'shua ha Maschiach). To bring healing and restoration to those who hurt (especially in marriage). To encourage that ALL can have a living relationship with God and experience His love, His joy and forgiveness and His peace.

Hanli is available to minister through praise, worship and preaching of the Word. She gives her testimony on life in Africa and it is powerful to see and hear what God had done in their own marriage. She is often used to bring a word of strength and encouragement. (1 Cor. 14:3)

"Pray that I'll know what to say and have the courage to say it at the right time, telling the mystery to one and all, the Message." (Eph. 6:19)
