At a government clinic, an underprivileged creche, and on the streets in needy areas, children and adults alike received sandwiches, fruit, and even donuts! It was such a blessing to work with volunteers to prepare the many sandwiches, and of course to see the happy faces of those who accepted these physical touches of God’s Love together with a Gospel tract!
Our outreach team is on the road! They will be witnessing and ministering up along the way to Grahamstown, there for the duration of the Arts Festival, and back down again early July. Two weeks in total.
The rest of the mission team here will continue with local outreach, Bible studies, food distribution, and projects. Hooray for the miracles and testimonies to come!
Because children walk in your footsteps, always travel where you want them to go.
Happy Father’s Day!
We were asked to dismantle and find a new home for this playground, which was quite a task, but joyful, as we know many children will enjoy using it!
Winter is here, and the need is very great. On behalf of all these dear ones who received soup. meat, bread, bananas, and cereal, we thank those who made this project possible! It was a joy to do it, and joyfully were all the items accepted!
This year, we’ve partnered with a small local Christian radio initiative that broadcasts specifically into prisons; connecting both inmates and correctional service officers with the Gospel and targeted messages of Love and Hope. Our Helping Hand team personally records/edits devotional audios which are played daily, reaching individuals all over the nation! Thank you Jesus for a WHOLE OTHER ministry!
Thanks to donations and gifts in kind, we could bring these desperately needed items to “Mama” Rosie and the 160+ children she cares for. There were bags of flour, beans, maize, rice, cereal, sugar, and baby formula! There were also brand new clothing items for some of the younger children, and Prime drinks for the faithful staff members! When loading the van, we suddenly felt led to give some packs of nappies that we had received and were not allocated yet. When we arrived in Khayelitsha and Mama Rosie and her operations manager saw the stack of nappies, they burst into rejoicing and thankful tears! Then we learned that they simply couldn’t afford to keep the kind of nappy stock needed for the amount of little ones they have, and had been stressing about both the practical lack and the Department of Health’s inspections. So even though we didn’t know the urgency of the need, God knew and provided! It was such a joyful day!
How lovely it was to celebrate with the ladies at this home for women in crisis for their graduation! They had completed a course on God’s Love and the value placed on each on of God’s Children, regardless of background or the way others may treat us. To help make their graduation memorable, we brought treats and snacks, did a photoshoot of individual/group portraits for them to keep printed copies of, and even joined for an “ask men” Q&A session, at which they could ask any question on their hearts regarding men and what to expect/look for in a Godly man going forward. We are so glad to be a part of their lives and encouraging them to walk into a brighter future with Jesus at their side.
