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!

Hearing about us from friends, a couple decided to donate a whole van load of bedding, linens, and blankets for us to pass on to others in need! One of the places on our heart is a daily feeding scheme and homeless shelter, so we drove there with a bunch of blankets, as well as cooking oil, rusks, tea, and other needed items.

When we arrived and showed the lady in charge the blankets and items, she said in awe “we have no blankets left…none at all! Thank you!” We are so so grateful once again to see the Lord moving behind the scenes to touch other’s hearts to give to us, that we may give to those that need it. And all in the perfect timing! Amazing!

Each of our Sunday School children received a special Bible Activity book to take home after their weekly lesson!

After many years of faithful service here in Cape Town and surrounds, Michael (Mike) and Angela – with their son Samuel – have moved to England. They have both served here faithfully for a lifetime (combined nearly 40 years!), and have been an integral part of our work and activities. We are so grateful for their love and faithful service for these many, many years, as well as their company and friendship through so many ups and downs.

A heartfelt thank you to both of them for selflessly serving and helping others alongside us – showing Jesus to many! They will continue to be part of our extended family, and will be sorely missed by our whole team here. We wish them God speed and continue to keep them in our prayers in this new season of their lives. Thank you Mike, Ange, and little man Sam! We love you, and God be with you, till we meet again.
