We went to public clinics in Kraaifontien, Wellington, Brighton, and Brackenfell, giving out gift parcels with clothes, nappies, lotion, cereal, and other baby necessities! Many of the mothers were overwhelmed with joy, and turned the parcels over in their hands, examining all the goodies! Likewise the mothers in the labour wards got their parcels, so that even before the baby was born, they had some lovely clothes and other items ready! We also gave short words of encouragement on the importance of mothers in God’s kingdom, and left each mom with a Gospel Activated magazine.

And there was a lot more as part of this project! See the Orphanage in Khayelitsha section…

A community leader reached out to us, telling of a talk that was scheduled with the ladies of the area. Everything was in order, except they had no eats or things to give the attendees. They had contacted the city office, but were told that there was no budget left. We are very thankful that we were able to give them some snacks, teas, hand sanitizer, and Activated magazines! And the talk was a great success!

We heard about an entire family who were often going days without enough to eat, and sharing
blankets on cold nights due to only having two blankets between them. Thanks to the Lord and
those who support us, we could give them a large food parcel, as well as blankets and other
needed household items and toiletries! Please enjoy seeing the thankful smiles that you are a
part of bringing through your support. (in addition to regular outreach, food distributions, and
focuses such as moms and babies, we assist individual families with parcels as we are able)

How lovely to be able to supply a local social worker with clothing and shoe items, which she and her team gave out to families in great need!

We surprised the young people at this center with games and movies, paintings and decor, and equipment such as braais, weighing scales and educational books.
This youth center also serves as a halfway home for youngsters who are too old to remain at the Baphumelele Orphanage but not yet ready to join the work-force.
Along with skills training the youth here receive any needed education and instruction to prepare them to become a useful part of society.
We are happy to help them on their way to a brighter future.

For many years now, our Helping Hand team compiles, records, and sends out free weekly audio messages, on a variety of topics relevant to spiritual growth, personal relationships, following Jesus, and overcoming trials. The digital version of the testimony-laden Activated magazine likewise goes far and wide, and reminds us just how active the Lord is every day, and that what He has done for others, He can do for us as well! We also have Endtime-focused video classes and material available to inform and inspire, and we hold video-call and in-person Bible studies.

Chocolates, Activated magazines, and gifts were excitedly prepared by the ladies at the mission for several events! At a home for women in troubled circumstances, they enjoyed pizza and treats, gifts, and a movie! In two rural communities, the ladies received boxes or fancy bars of chocolate, and then – together with all those in the settlements – a food parcel with ham, cheese, bread, fruit, and veg! We really enjoy being able to manifest Jesus’ Love for these ladies and their families, bringing a reminder that they are loved and valued.

On different occasions over the last weeks, we have brought either warm oats or fresh milk – together with fruit or other snacks – for these children to enjoy after their Bible lesson. And two of our own kids from the mission came along to help dish out the treats with smiles and friendly interactions!
