We made polony sandwiches and peanut-butter-jam sandwiches and gave them to 80 children in two communities. What a simple joy to uplift these little ones and remind them that they are Loved.

Brand-New Appliances (and more) for Centres!
We are so thrilled to have been able to equip several centres – homes for women in crisis, quadriplegic homes, an orphanage, and a drug rehab centre – with donated brand new appliances, as well as cleaning and toiletry supplies!
Songs, Stories, Snacks, and Games – Sunday School
We so enjoy taking time weekly with the children at our Sunday School in Morningstar settlement – praying, teaching Bible lessons, singing songs, playing games, and sending them home with a snack in hand!
Every Sunday, we teach between 50-70 children in two groups, sharing the Love of Jesus and instilling character building lessons. Praise God!
Supplies and Surprises
We continue to assist underprivileged creches, quadriplegic homes, orphanages, soup kitchens, and feeding schemes nearly every day of the week! Thank you Lord for providing – through the kindness and open hearts of others – so many staple items of all types, to benefit those in great need. Sometimes we get a call out of the blue to collect – loads which can range from hundreds of kg of soup bones, to tissue paper, to maize, oats, or more! These surprises encourage us and keep us motivated to keep pouring out and doing our best, even when it is tough.
Note: we are blessed to receive many items in kind, which we readily distribute – as a mission our biggest need right now is more finances to cover costs such as petrol, electricity, airtime, etc.
Greyton and Hermanus Outreach!
16 Decisions for Jesus!
2450 Gospel tracts distributed!
Over 50 Bibles, Activated magazines, and other faith-building books given out!
We prayed for many personal prayer requests, discussed issues, encouraged, and followed up!
Love in Action – Two Vans of Needed Foodstuffs for Communities
Hundreds of men, women, and children in nearby rural areas benefited from these food parcels –two vanloads of fresh fruit, vegetables, sugar, oats, cheese, energy drink, raisins, tea, rusks, tissue paper, and more divided into bags for each one! Although we wish we could do so much more, we know that every bit of help, and especially every bit of love, is well worth it and has an impact beyond the immediate.
Hampers for Happy Moms and Babies at Four Clinics!
At any time and in whatever circumstance, being a mom is a lot of hard work, and deserves recognition and respect!
It was absolutely wonderful to see the thankful smiles of mothers (and curious interest from their little ones) as we gave them hampers – packed with clothes, shoes, a blanket, nappies, a toy, tissue paper, sunscreen, warm-up baby bean bags, soaps, a facecloth, and a Gospel magazine!
Mothers at four clinics received these gifts, and we pray all the items will truly be a help and reminder that Jesus cares about them!
Supplies and Spiritual Input
We’ve been busy preparing and delivering supplies to various centres all around the city – a creche for underprivileged children, two quadriplegic homes, and a refuge for abused women and children. We always spend time talking with and encouraging those at each place, and leave Gospel material for them to enjoy further!
