Carrots, Potatoes, Onions, Gemsquash, Oranges, Apples, Bread, Instant Cereal, Maize, Sugar, Jimmy Spice, Bananas, and a Gospel Activated magazine + “Soul Vaccine” Salvation tract went into 500 parcels for the dear people of this impoverished community. We arrived, set up, and before beginning, led the line of excited residents in a prayer of thanks! Through the hours of distribution, the tender smiles that dawned when we reminded them – man, woman, teenager, or child- that Jesus loves them, showed us it’s worth it all.

Answer to Prayer for “Mama Rosie”
Early one morning, we got a call from “Mama Rosie.” She’s the founder of Baphumelele, an orphanage in Khayelitsha that we’ve been assisting for over 10 years. (She now cares for 160 kids plus runs a community soup kitchen and frail care centre)
She was nearly in tears on the phone, saying she doesn’t have enough food for running, and might even have to close down the soup kitchen. We were so touched because she…
Medical Supplies for Underfunded Clinics
Three clinics (Kraaifontein, Wellington, Fisantekraal), an elderly care home with over 140 residents, and a mobile ambulance unit -serving Khayelitsha- each received dozens of medical supplies to help them in their work of caring for the poor! The supplies included ankle, wrist, elbow, and knee braces, heat patches, PPE products, two wheelchairs, and bandages and plasters. We were able to add a children’s nebuliser for the mobile unit helping patients in Khayelitsha.
Praise God for these frontline workers that serve their communities. We are honoured to make their job a little easier by providing them with these needed items.

VIDEO: Food Distribution for Three Communities
In our day to day ministry, we come across so many in need; so many hungry and lacking what many of us take for granted – regular meals. It is such a blessing to have been able to bring food parcels with vegetables, fruit, bread, mayo, and Gospel material to families in three communities. May the video be an inspiration to you.
VIDEO: Partnering with a Drug Rehab to Clean and Renovate Park
It was really special to join with the gentlemen from Freeway Ministries in their efforts to overhaul a park in a rough and crime filled neighborhood. Mike, Michelle, and the others worked on removing rubbish, leveling the informal landfill, and planting trees! We also brought Gospel material and Bibles. Through these upliftments, the Love of Jesus is shown, praise God!
Helping Others Help Others
It is our mission to show the Love of Jesus to as many as possible, through all possible means! Thus, we often partner with existing centres and initiatives – enabling them to keep reaching out in their communities, that God’s Name may be glorified! Feeding schemes, orphanages, creches, and quadriplegic homes get items such as fresh fruits and vegetables, flour, oil, bread, cereal, non-perishable supplies, and more! And this physical aid is paired with Gospel material and message.
