We were able to hold food distributions for two communities with items such as bread, potatoes, fruit, rusks, coffee, and tissue paper, as well as brand new school supplies for the children and Gospel material for all. We had prayer all together at each community, and smooth distributions. It was great!
Our Sunday School in Wolwerivier is a constant joyful commitment, with up to 100 children joining each week. We have Bible lessons, stories, games, memorization of Scripture, songs, and even 1-on-1 counselling; as well as a snack. Over the last 9 years, many children have given their lives to Christ! Though it can be heartbreaking to see and hear the things that these precious ones face, we are grateful to be part of bridging them closer to Jesus and showing them that they surely are loved.
A long term friend who works as a car guard and comes faithfully for our Sunday fellowship came over for his son’s birthday, bringing with his daughter and eight other children. We had a wonderful time getting to show them love through our fellowship meeting, Sunday School, snacks, activities, and presents. Best of all, we gave a Gospel message – which Kristen and Isabelle (8yrs and 6yrs)) helped with – and all 10 of the children accepted Salvation!

Amy, David, and Ester did the “heart skit” for all the children, illustrating how the only key to our hearts and lasting joy is True Love – not toys, clothes, or money. (miracle, only days before a friend showed up at the mission with a brand new wireless speaker and mic setup, which we used for this event! God bless them!) The whole thing was smooth and blessed, with all gladly receiving their gifts and treats! Best of all, 260 children prayed to invite Jesus into their lives as Saviour and Forever Friend!
Our hope cannot be based on our circumstances because they are unstable ground. Instead, we can place our hope on the solid rock of Jesus.
Happy New Year!
A dear friend called us up to collect HUNDREDS of sweet melon from his farm, which we distributed together with Gospel tracts to feeding schemes, children’s homes, and a government clinic! What an extra treat and blessing!
So many people are lonely, sad, or hungry at Christmas, and it is a time of year when such lacks are most keenly felt. So, as part of our Celebration, we focused on bringing the spirit of Christmas – God’s Love – to as many as possible. It was our gift to Jesus and others! We prepared a WHOLE LOT of…
