“Merry Christmas” – 700 times!

We are so thankful that – in the middle of these very tight and trying times – with “a lot of help from our friends” we were able to make this project a reality! Over 700 parcels went out to older and younger; potatoes, onions, carrots, apples, and bread for all, plus treats and toys for the children! A little bonus was several Christmas decorations for each adult along with their Gospel magazine!
It truly was a joy to be able to wish each of these ones a very Merry Christmas!

CHRISTMAS CHEER! – Youth Centre

This Youth Center is a sort of half-way house between orphanage and full-on adulthood. While here, the young men and women learn very necessary life skills along with Godly values. It was absolutely awesome to be able to present these young people with a whole lot of fun toys, board and card games, craft projects, puzzles, and most of all, a wide selection of youth-geared Gospel material!
Then, each young person received their own wrapped and labeled gift pack, with chocolate, messages from Jesus, and a Bible study booklet.
They told us again and again how this really made their Christmas, and thanked us for thinking of them.
Praise the Lord for open doors to spread His message to these leaders of the future.

At a Safe House and a Creche – Gifts and Goodies for 50 children!

With a whole lot of love and care, toys were sorted, wrapped, and labeled for children at two centres! And then, goodie bags added to the pile! At one centre – a community creche which has seriously struggled to stay solvent through the pandemic – the children rejoiced to see us arrive with their presents and treats! We then spent time presenting each one’s present by name, and watching them open and enjoy them! Then to the safe house, which cares for children as young as 3 months, and unwed mothers of 19 and 20. It was wonderful to be there and let them know they are deeply loved by Jesus – and He will never abandon them. For some of these children, the present we brought may be their only gift, and we are just so grateful to have come and spent time with them. The kind-hearted teachers and caregivers also each received a Christmas hamper, which they more than deserve. As we left each place, the children smiled and chorused “Thank you!” and we called back “Merry Christmas!”

Let’s Remember Christmas – Appeal for Prayer and Support

Please keep in prayer for our strength, wisdom, and supply for the season. Besides charity projects, (of which we have already held two!) our goal is to distribute 2000 Activated magazines and 10 000’s of Gospel tracts, Bibles, and other books. We are having multiple teams on daily Gospel outreach through till 24th, plus projects for over 1000 people total. We don’t know yet how it will all be possible, 🙂 but we are trusting and going forward one day at a time. Now is the time for Salvation. (2 Corinthians 6:2)

You are most welcome to contact us if you would like to donate toys, sweets, or give a financial gift.
Thank you Jesus! And Merry Christmas time.

Aid for Drought-Stricken Community

We heard about an area of farms in the Northwest which are greatly struggling – especially the labourers and even farm owners. Thank God, we have been able to send up with a friend four large boxes of staples – samp, flour, oil, cereal, sugar, biscuits, concentrated juice, and instant noodles – plus over 500 Gospel tracts, 150 Activated magazines, and six Bibles in English, Afrikaans, and Xhosa!
We also continue to pray for all those in the area.
