Megachurch Pastor With 120K Members Secretly Divorces Wife, Doesn’t Tell Church

Pastor At Boshoff (Adam Johannes Jakobus Boshoff) is the founder and senior pastor of Christian Revival Church (CRC), a large South African megachurch based in Bloemfontein with over 90 campuses worldwide and more than 120,000 members.

A televangelist whose sermons reach millions across the world, he has shared a stage with figures such as Steven Furtick, Ed Young, John Bevere, Samuel Rodriguez, Rodney Howard-Browne, and others—a prominent figure in South African Christianity for over three decades.

If you want a glimpse of what type of pastor he is, here is a clip of Boshoff at the 2015 C3 Conference, saying he would fire anyone for disloyalty, and that he once fired a pastor for saying he serves God and not man.

At is happily married to Pastor Nyretta Boshoff. She heads up the Creative Arts ministry and directs the Music ministry of the congregations in Bloemfontein, Pretoria, and Johannesburg. She’s also the executive producer of CRC’s in-house praise and worship music release albums, speaks at women’s conferences, heads up the women’s ministry, ministers to the CRC pastors’ wives, and organizes and coordinates various CRC events.

Or so they would have us believe.

On December 5, 2024, in a since-deleted post, CRC London shared a celebratory message to the blessed couple, wishing them a happy anniversary.

What they didn’t know, and what no one would know for more than a year, is that the couple filed for divorce and had formalized it a few months before, in October 2024, according to recently unearthed court documents from the Gauteng local division of the Office of the Chief Justice.

Awkward.

With the divorce being unopposed, meaning that Nyretta did not contest it, Project CBNews notes that “the separation likely occurred in late 2023 or early 2024, yet throughout this period:

  • Boshoff continued to preach from CRC’s pulpits as a married man
  • The church’s official materials continued to describe him as married to Pastor Nyretta
  • His Instagram biography still states: “Married to @ngaretta_boshoff”
  • Church websites and promotional materials maintained the facade of an intact pastoral marriage
  • Social media posts celebrated their “marriage” anniversary.”

Seemingly, there were no board members or elders who demanded accountability including, at the very least, the courtesy of informing their congregations that the pastors had split up.

By all accounts, the church leadership had no intention of saying anything, if not for the story being revealed by the South African newspaper Rapport on December 20, 2025.

Yet even now, despite the news having broken, it has not been widely reported. Many CRC members remain unaware of the divorce and numerous comments online continue to question the validity and reliability of the reports.

Project CBNews has a list of questions for associated folks to consider in light of concealing a divorce for years:
