H20 Ministries

As water (H2O) is crucial for life, so too is hope, Hope 2 Overcome (H2O). Born in South Africa & now residing in New Zealand since 2000 we are passionate to share this message of Hope.

Pierre Spies, one of the most imposing and explosive loose forwards that South African rugby has ever produced, shares his captivating story for the first time. Pierre’s is an amazing story of life as a Blue Bulls rugby star, reaching the heights of Springbok status and then being told that he may never play rugby again.

In Pierre Spies: More than Rugby, Pierre shares personally on all aspects of his journey so far, all of it previously untold: from family life to his many sporting achievements and his faith that helped him overcome the hardships and setbacks.

Much more than a sports biography, this is an inspiring, personal story behind the much loved “Number Eight” of South African rugby.

Foreword by Victor Matfield and contributions from Morne Steyn, Bryan Habana and Juan Smith

Born a Hindu die a Hindu?

I have been residing in New Zealand for the past ten years. My first ‘encounter’ with New Zealand happened when I was about seven years old. The South African rugby team, the Springboks, were playing New Zealand’s All Blacks. As a little boy it was confusing as to why anyone would call themselves Black, especially ‘All Blacks’.

Growing up under Apartheid we were indoctrinated to believe that anything black was inferior or wrong, and ‘White was right.’ So I was quite fascinated to see who these All Blacks were.

I can still recall my utter amazement and shock, when I saw the All Blacks running onto the field. I had to enquire of my father, ‘Dad, why are there white guys playing in the All Blacks team?’ I was totally astonished to see that amongst those running onto the field wearing the black jerseys were White men. These All Blacks from New Zealand were actually comprised of Whites, which astounded me.

That was my first encounter with anything from New Zealand and little did I realise that some 20 years later I would find myself living in the land of the All Blacks. In many of my introductory lines to audiences I often joke and say, As Indians growing up in South Africa we were not regarded as black but rather half black . Now that I’ve immigrated to New Zealand I have completed the process and am all black !
