We were so blessed to be able to have Michael & Chris represent Helping Hand at the It’s Time prayer gathering! They came back brimming over with testimonies, accounts of how the Holy Spirit moved through the well-over-a -million strong gathering, and the sure knowledge that God will fight for His people, as we all put Him first and reject compromise.

For Easter Sunday School, the youth shared the wonderful news of how Christ lived, died, and ROSE AGAIN in order that we might be saved and have an eternal home in Heaven! “He is Risen!” their colouring page boldly proclaimed, and the Q&A time showed just how much of the Great Gospel they are absorbing! We also gave a packet of hot cross buns to every child. Both the message and the special snack was received with great joy, hallelujah!
Our four-person team is now in Oudtshoorn; spreading the Gospel message of Jesus’ Love to any and all who will receive it! Please join us in prayer for protection, provision, wisdom in conversation, good weather, souls saved, lives changed, many Activated magazines and Gospel tracts distributed, and in all things, for God to be glorified! Thank you!
Here are a few photos from this month’s food distribution – thousands of kilos of fruits and vegetables, over 3500 eggs, cereal, and more! Praise God and thank YOU who make it possible through your prayers and support!
Limited movement, speech, sight, and the inability to care for oneself in any way: the dear patients of the Sive Nathi center face these issues every single day and rarely get a chance to have a change of pace or scenery. It is for this reason we committed to taking them -and the staff that so lovingly cares for them- on a special outing once again. The scenery of the beautiful Helderberg Nature Reserve in Somerset West totally captivated these 40 children who spend most of their time bed-ridden. In spite of the extremely hot weather, we were blessed with shade under the trees and a cool breeze, which made the time so much more comfortable! In these photos we’d like to share with you the thrill it was to see their faces light up with enjoyment over things as simple as a colourful balloon or some bubbles; to share with them some special treats like cake and custard or some fruit yogurt (only soft foods can be given). As we held, played with, and laughed with them, noticing their reactions to simple joys and pleasures, we began to truly re-appreciate all our own blessings! A heart-felt thank you to the volunteers and sponsors who made this event a success. It was a wonderful day, in every way! (Matthew 18:10) “See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven continually see the face of My Father who is in heaven.
