Merry Christmas from all of us, and blessings in Jesus to you and yours!

For the children at our weekly Sunday School in Morningstar settlement off the N7, this Christmas event was a very special one! We gave a Christmas message, and offered the best gift of all – JESUS and His Salvation – to those who hadn’t yet accepted it. Wonderfully, seven children prayed then and there to invite Jesus into their lives! Then, all of the kids received their own Christmas present, goodie bag, Gospel tract, and healthy fruit to bring home!

It was an incredibly happy and busy day as we brought special Christmas hampers to men, women, and children living in two rural communities. We prayed together, and then began giving to each person, one by one. Two of the children from the mission joined in the event, handing out the goodie packs and Gospel tracts, smiling and giving hugs, all while wishing young and older a Merry Christmas! There were sweet potatoes, flour, carrots, gems, fruit, tea, coffee, sauces, Gospel material, and of course sweeties and toys for all the children!

While our website was having serious issues, the work kept on going! Here are a few updates we have now been able to catch up on posting, which you are welcome to look over and enjoy! All glory to God!

These supplies – including a nebulizer, back brace, wheelchair, walker, crutches, reading glasses, and all kind of medical consumables – were so gratefully received by a mobile clinic as well as a respite home – both working to help the most vulnerable in Khayelitsha.

For the children at this little creche, Christmas was brought to life with games and songs for all, as well as a wrapped and labeled toy and a goodie bag for each child! We gave the Message of Christmas, and explained why we give gifts to each other – because God gave the Best Gift of all. The faithful staff also received an appreciation parcel of foodstuffs and treats, to encourage them that their daily efforts are seen. Most wonderfully, we were privileged to lead 21 children in a prayer to accept Jesus as their Saviour and Forever Friend!

We’ve been busy preparing for Christmas projects; among other things sorting and packing many hundreds of toys and goodie bags! Exciting times!

We brought crates of baby formula and cereal, hundreds of nappies, a baby cot, bath, and other needed items to assist a creche and abandoned baby care home in Khayelitsha. The dear ones running things can never have enough of these vital and valuable items, and it was great to see the excitement on their faces as we unloaded and showed them the gifts.
