The young people of Helping Hand prepared and distributed about 75 sandwiches to the young, helpless, homeless, and needy. A legacy of Love, that’s what we pray to leave behind.

A father’s deep interest & loving concern,
Are generous gifts we do nothing to earn.
Gifts he keeps giving us day after day,
Gifts of the heart we can never repay.

Our first outreach in Greyton was last year February, and this follow-up visit was a great victory. We were able to visit some of those that we ministered to last year, as well as meet many new faces. One and all, they received a Gospel message and “Jesus loves you!” – with some asking for on-the-spot prayer and others making the decision to accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour!

We distributed food parcels to hundreds of families in several informal settlements – giving them both physical aid and a mental boost of encouragement; simply knowing that Someone does care about them.

For Nurses Week, we packed 120 “appreciation parcels” comprised of a little box of chocolates, an Activated magazine, and a thank you card specifically designed for these dear men and women.

The children eagerly ate, some finishing their bowls within minutes. Our hearts bled to see some others who (due to often having little to eat and thus stomachs not used to a large portion) were unable to finish their bowl at once. We had them take it home with them, so that they could benefit more even later…

We thank you LORD,
So Great and Good,
For the love and care,
Of Motherhood.

In addition to providing food items on a regular basis, we were grateful to be able to divide between these centres chairs, heaters, desks, a bathtub, two portable swimming pools, a TV, dozens of blinds, a baby cot, baby changing table, linoleum rolls, office furniture, rubbish bins, mirrors, a dryer, mop buckets, bales of tissue paper, plastic cups and jugs, carpets…
