JEREMY KING
School Director / Lecturer
A husband, a filmmaker and a follower of Jesus, Jeremy leads Ready Aim Fire with a desire to see the Kingdom of God break out in people's lives.
He studied film & media in Cape Town, which allowed him to work on a feature film in the mainstream industry. From there he worked for 5 years at a production company called Rooftop, that allowed him to travel to 25 countries, creating films for companies such as UNICEF, Coca-Cola and the Global Fund. It was a call of God that saw him leave the industry to pursue education. He desires to see young people equipped while their identity remains firmly planted in Jesus.
