We
want to thank Leon’s Duck Farm as well, as we were able to
bless
the 15 families that received the Food Hampers with some
whole
ducks, and the many additional volunteer helpers for the
day,
to their great joy, also received some!
We
were able to between 4 soup kitchens, 6 ECD (Early
Childhood
development) centers, the volunteers and single parents
mentioned
above, as well as other needy individual families
living
in Sir Lowry’s Pass and Nomzamo, to distribute approx.
700
kg of meat for their Christmas/new Year celebrations.
A
BIG THANK YOU to our generous donors!
By
the end of the year our Bible students completed the course:
Spirit,
Soul and Body, by Andrew Wommack. We are happy to
have
been instrumental laying a strong foundation for them to
walk
in victory, and we look forward to keep building on that
foundation.
We
want to thank Peter, who together with Philip, worked to
bring
hot water to the kitchen sink at the soup kitchen. This was
especially
appreciated, as it came in time for the big Christmas
celebration,
after which there was a tremendous amount of
greasy
dishes to be done!
We
are happy to announce the safe arrival of little Abigail, the
daughter
of Essie. She was born on the 23rd of December. The
doctor
had warned that a C-section might be needed, but after
prayer
the baby moved into the right position, and there were no
complications.
Essie went to the clinic at 8 am and was back
home
by 2 pm. Praise the Lord!
We
have been entrusted with the distribution of Christian Xhosa
Poster
sets for children, for the Eastern Cape. Before the end of
the
year we were able to bring several boxes of these poster sets
to
Fransina, who in turn will bring send them with people visiting
the
Eastern Cape during their holidays. We are praying for the
seed
sown to bear much fruit!
We
also want to thank Sugar Crystal for their generous donation
of
lollipops. Not only were there more than enough to go around
for
the children in the village, but we were also told that some
boxes
were taken to some outlaying farms, where the children get
few
or no treats. We are so very thankful to each and every one
of
you who helped us spread so much cheer during this special
time
of year. THANK YOU! May you all be richly blessed!
As
mentioned last month all the ECD centers we applied for for
the
Santa Shoebox Project, were chosen, and greatly benefitted.
For
the 3-400 children, it was the first
time ever to enjoy this
great
blessing!
We
look forward to embracing 2016 as we continue to work
together
to change this part of the world by bringing hope,
life
and the love of God to the needy!
Jesus
said, “Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least
of
these my brethren, you have done it unto me. Matt. 25:40.
