Dear partners, supporters, friends, family, and loved ones,
We are so thankful for each one of you for the
difference you are making to us personally as well as to the ministry.
Together we can do it better, and in fact much of the work would not
even be possible were it not for our united our efforts.
1. OUR SPIRITUAL MINISTRY RELATED NEWS
2. OUR PRACTICAL MINISTRY RELATED NEWS
We trust that you will enjoy seeing
what you are an integral and invaluable part of. Together we are making
a difference in the lives of many!
The photos below picture one of the highlights of this month! We did a
united outreach with our Gracelife family, going out two by two. Within
about an hour and a half 26 people had been led to receive Jesus as
their Lord and Savoir. There is nothing more satisfying than to reach a
soul for Jesus and see their eyes fill with light, and new hope.
Thankfully we are also able to invite them to come and get their mind
renewed, and experience a transformed life with the ability to live
victoriously in a fallen world! And several of those we reached out to
joined us the following day for our Sunday gathering.
OUTREACH:
 |

GRACELIFE:

Here Philip is teaching on: “The Most Important Commandment!” It also
covered some of the laws of the Kingdom showing how God is not
mysterious but actually is very reliable and that we can know what to
expect. The picture below shows some a subsequent class Philip taught on
the same subject!

Here we were having a follow-up meeting with some of the Sir Lowry's
Pass leaders. Philip was expounding more on the subject mentioned above
and having a question/answer session.

One of our inspiring times of worship. The children love to joins us for
this time and we often end up singing and praising the Lord while
dancing around.
BACK-TO-SCHOOL SUPPLIES:

We were asked to please help supply some of the very basic stationery
needs for 100 of the the Sir Lowry’s Pass children. Basic needs such as:
a pencil each, a ruler, and eraser, a sharpener, a blue and a black pen
each. Thank you so much to ALL of our partners who enabled us to
respond positively!
S.A.HARVESTER:

We are very thankful to S.A. Harvester who on a regular basis are
assisting us in helping soup kitchens and private families have their
very basis needs, namely food, met. They are making s big difference !

The supplies are distributed in Gordon’s Bay, Temperance Town, Sir Lowry’s Pass and Nomzamo!

Angels’ Kitchen, Sir Lowry’s Pass, greatly appreciating the supplies, - and they eagerly help unload!

Angels’ kitchen again receiving supplies. They made a delicious apricot
jam for the children. They also faithfully ensure that all the
vegetables are preserved—washed cleaned and frozen!

Here we are delivering supplies to Tom’s Little Angels’ ECD. They are
located in the narrow back streets making it nearly impossible for us to
drive through to them. Yet they are very needy and we have now arranged
it so that they come out to the main street and carry the supplies back
to their ECD center.

Joyce’s Soup kitchen, which is the biggest in the village, receiving supplies!

Bright Stars, Nomazamo, which runs and ECD and a soup kitchen, are receiving supplies from SA Harvester as well!
SUPPLIES:
MILK:

100 liters of milk are collected (monthly) and distributed in Nomzamo and Sir Lowry’s Pass!
WOOLWORTH:

Supplies donated by Woolworth. This is one of the largest pick-ups
received in a long time, which by the way we have come to expect at the
beginning of each new year. We are very thankful for this support! - And
the flowers! :)
WEET-BIX:

We collected 14 large boxes of Weet-Bix which were distributed to ECD
centers, and soup kitchens. As well as (package by package) to
individual families!
OTHER:

And we were able to assist a single mother of five children living in
Sir Lowry's Pass with an electric stove/oven. We learned that she did
not have one for quite a awhile as the one she had before got stolen.
Besides this we also delivered a sleeping couch, a wooden desk and
chair, as well as several office folders, clothing, etc, to the village.
BREAD AND PIZZA BASES:

We are very thankful to the company supplying these sacks of pizza bases
and pre-sliced bread, and to the Lions’ Club for including us as one
of the distributers. These are distributed in approximately 10 different
locations in Sir Lowry’s Pass, as well as in Nomzamo. We are however
not the only ones benefitting from this generous gift. Many other
charities from other areas also come to collect for the people they are
ministering to!
The following pictures give a small glimpse of some of the many recipients, however time and space fail to show it all!
JOYCE'S KITCHEN:

RACHEL'S KITCHEN:

This “bread” has come to be greatly appreciated and looked forward to by
many people. We think especially by the children, as we often hear
them, when driving through the village, chant, “Pizza, pizza, pizza!”
Haha!
MILA'S KITCHEN:\
FRANSINA'S KITCHEN:

All the blue bags contain pizza bases or bread! And the photos are all taken in different places!
ELSIE'S KITCHEN:

EILEEN'S KITCHEN:
JESSICA'S KITCHEN:

Besides regular distribution to the above mentioned kitchens we also
have 4 places where drop off pizza, after the kitchens have been
assisted and we see there there is still enough, that act as small
distribution centers for their immediate neighbors.
LIFE-GROUPS/BIBLE STUDIES:

Above: Our Bible study group in Nomzamo. Sadly our group got smaller
this year as some workers had to be let go due to the lower number of
children being enrolled for the new year. However we are happy to say
that we are still in touch with those that are no longer present, via
our daily devotional sent out via What’s up!
There are many testimonies of people’s lives being impacted by the Word of God and getting to know who He truly is.
The other day when teaching a Bible study in a shop in Gordon’s Bay a
client came in (the young adult daughter of the lady we were teaching
was available to assist her). However, she quietly walked around and
eventually approached us asking if this class was open for all? She said
she overheard us sharing some testimonies and when we backed it up by
Scripture she just felt drawn and the desire to join in. Needless to say
we are thrilled by these “little” set up and how the Lord helps us be
in the right place at the right time.
Meanwhile our new friend has started receiving the Daily Word as well
and b=never fails to acknowledge that she has received and read it. —We
are expecting great things this year and increased fruitfulness.
.In closing we want to THANK YOU for your time, interest and
participation in our work. Together we are creating a better world and
future for many.
