The children of Helping Hand enjoyed giving chocolates and smiles out freely to over 120 elderly residents of this care home “Tehuis.” Many of these individuals are suffering from loss of limbs, loved ones, and even mental capability. What a joy to bring them sparks of kindness and special treats for their enjoyment!
At our Sunday School, the children experienced the Easter story in a special way through a home-made flannel-graph, which was used to bring the message to life! They also received hand-packed treats packs with a reminder Gospel message inside! They enjoyed some of the sweeties immediately and took the rest home to enjoy later! What a happy Easter, praise you Jesus!
How special to spend a special time uplifting these ladies – who are staying at a crisis centre and were not expecting much of an Easter celebration. With gifts, treats, and a message on the unwavering Love of Jesus, it was a day to remember!
Up from the grave he arose;
with a mighty triumph o’er his foes;
he arose a victor from the dark domain,
and he lives forever, with his saints to reign.
He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!
‘But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”(Romans 5:8)
Blessed Good Friday to you and yours as we remember Jesus. Let us praise our dear LORD for loving us enough to come live and love and die for us, so that we through Him we can live and love forever!
The Lord supplied SO abundantly – more than we could ask or think (Ephesians 3:20) and much more than we could ever afford to do with our own ability – that we had an amazing time distributing food parcels to these many families in great need! Flour, cereal, tea, coffee, sugar, hot cross buns, apples, bananas, potatoes, carrots, onions, gemsquash, tissue paper, and Gospel tracts were all inside each parcel! We are also grateful to have had several volunteers join us, both for preparing and packing the items before event, and at distribution itself! Prayer —> Provision —> Packing —> Prayer —> Project —> Praise!
Exciting times! Please keep our team in prayer as they are in Oudtshoorn doing street outreach and followup during the KKNK festival! We are claiming protection, provision, souls saved, lives changed, and an abundance of Joy, Truth, Peace, and Light from Heaven to flow through onto each and every person met!
The 21st of March is World Down Syndrome Day. Once again, we celebrated it –as well as our dear Down Syndrome missionary, Timothy — by joining in the 6 km Tygerberg Fun Run. Timothy rose to the challenge and ran with his usual flair.
From young to older, each Helping Hand member gave it their all and received their well-deserved medals. Well done to all!
