For the children regularly attending our Sunday School in Morningstar settlement off the N7, we had a special event! From grade R to 12, each child received a pack of school supplies, plus a bag of treats, cereal, and fruit! All were thrilled! Something that really stood out to us was how one boy C (often a bit of a rascal) thanked us over and over, really appreciating the gifts and expression of God’s Love. Day by day, heart by heart, change is made.
Jesus, lover of my soul,
let me to thy bosom fly,
while the nearer waters roll,
while the tempest still is high;
hide me, O my Savior, hide,
till the storm of life is past;
safe into the haven guide,
O receive my soul at last!
-Charles Wesley
We have been very busy gathering, preparing, and packing school supplies for over 400 children! So excited to see them go into many hands, uplifting little lives and enabling their process of education.
And for selected teenagers, brand new Bibles are ready! Stay tuned for updates after the events!
This packed vanload of fresh fruits and vegetables was distributed to multiple destinations – two soup kitchens, a creche, two quadriplegic homes, an orphanage, plus several individual families!
Enjoy seeing a little pictorial overview of January!
What a day, and what a joy! We were able to bring food parcels to families in three settlements, – a packet of wors to each person, plus grapes, apples, vegetables, bread, Jimmy sauce, cereal and a Gospel magazine! Such a privilege and blessing for nearly 1000 people total! Mothers, fathers, singles, children, and babies all benefited. We are most grateful for the huge gift of all the meat for this project. It was such a pleasure to be a “Helping Hand” on the ground in this way and see and feel people’s appreciation first-hand.
We are so thankful to be able to support these two centres – with fresh pastries, sauces, rusks, vegetables, meat, flour, and other needed items. Every time we have a chat with these lovely cheerful men and women, we are reminded again how very much we have to be thankful for.
This delicious full cream yoghurt was very well received by each family and centre it went to! What a lovely healthy treat!
