Angus Buchan was originally a Zambian maize and cattle farmer of Scottish descent who started farming in Zambia but was forced to sell everything and move to Greytown, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa in 1978 due to political unrest in that country. Angus Buchan is a South African farmer who would eventually become a full-time evangelist. Committed to hard work and hard living, he made a radical change by becoming a Christian, surprising friends and family with his newfound faith. That faith has sustained him through family tragedies and financial crises. Feeling a burden for his community in South Africa, Angus felt called to share the faith he’d found on a larger platform. In 1980 he started the Shalom Ministries to preach in his local community. Still a farmer, he is now an international evangelist, having traveled through Africa in a refitted yellow fire engine, telling people about Christ, and filling the largest venues in South Africa. The story of his spiritual adventures was detailed in the popular book and movie Faith Like Potatoes.
