Dear Ones,
Today we would like to start off with a big THANK YOU to you, our faithful partners and supporters, who are enabling this ministry to carry on. We are honored to have your backing. Thank you! May the Lord bless you with “treasures where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.” (Matthew 6:19-21)
SHOPPING:
1
|
The second trolley is for the Angels’ Kitchen (geared for kids) in Sir
Lowry’s Pass! We also bought adult nappies for a stroke victim, sugar
for a school that requested it, etc.
2
Delivering supplies to the kitchen in Nomzamo. Since their need is so
great we encouraged them to apply to Food Forward. Sadly their request
was declined as they will need a separate NPO # for the kitchen—the one
they have for the Daycare Center is not acceptable. However, once they
get that in order they were encouraged to apply again at the end of the
year. Please pray they will succeed as it would enable them to provide
much more abundantly for the needy.

Delivering the shopping to the Angels’ Kitchen in Sir Lowry’s Pass. As mentioned this kitchen is geared mainly for children.
S.A.HARVESTER:
4
We are very thankful for the help S. A. Harvesters are offering the
Lions’ Club and thereby us. We were impressed when hearing of their
faith and determination to get supplies to the warehouse—which they
themselves collect from the farmers. Due to the heavy rains we have had
they made several attempted trips that failed, as the roads were closed.
They had to seek alternative routes, etc. They also repeatedly tried
to meet up with key people that ended up not being available at the
expected time. All this to say that a lot goes on behind the scenes and
we are impressed with and thankful for the hardworking dedicated and
determined team at S.A. Harvesters! And as seen they did manage to
provide once again a truckload of wonderful supplies for which we are
very thankful
Thank you!
5
Delivering supplies from S.A. Harvesters to the Angels’ Kitchen in Sir
Lowry’s Pass! When there are ample supplies 3-4 kitchens share the
supplies brought. Jessica, who runs the kitchen we deliver at, divides
the food and then calls them to come and collect from her. The fresh
produce is always highly sought after!
6
Here we delivered supplies from S.A. Harvesters to Bright Stars' Kitchen
in Nomzamo. These are bi-weekly supplies as we rotate between Sir
Lowry’s Pass and Nomzamo
7
Occasionally we have had enough supplies from S. A. Harvesters to also
assist Joyce’s Soup Kitchen in Sir Lowry’s Pass. This is the biggest
kitchen in the village as it feeds more people/families than any other.
They also assist stroke victims with food parcels.
BREAD AND PIZZA-BASES:
8
We are very blessed to be able to deliver bread/pizza-bases, and at
times croutons or rotis to the various soup kitchens. In Nomzamo, they
have time and again run out of soup before all were served, but
thankfully they were able to at least give a couple of pizza-bases to
the last ones. Please also pray that this of bread and pizza-bases
supply will not run dry or diminish as it has saved the day many
times.Thank you!
9
Elsie's Soup Kitchen Sir Lowry's Pass!
10
Here
pizza-bases, bread and milk (the brown boxes, 5 of them with 6 liters of
macadamia nut milk) was delivered. During the school holiday they have
up to 80 or more children come to the kitchen for breakfast.
11
Mila’s Angels Kitchen, Sir Lowry’s Pass! As usual it is not possible to
show all the places that are benefiting, but let is suffice to say that
the pizza-bases are a tremendous blessing to many, many people!
NOMZAMO OUTREACH:
12
Twice a month we have started to go to Nomzamo when the soup kitchen
there opens. We minister to the people for about half an hour or so
(from the time they start arriving) till the kitchen opens. Cari and
Zoleka, two precious sisters in the Lord from our Gracelife community,
have been joining us and have been a big blessing to our efforts there!
Many souls have been won to the Lord and encouraged to pursue their
relationship with Him. We see a lot of potential for starting a Bible
study group there and are praying and looking for a suitable venue where
we can meet to minister to those who would like to go further with the
Lord! Please pray with us for this!
13
There are many very precious and needy people out there to be reached.
By the grace of God we will make a difference to as many as possible!
14
Due to the school holidays there were a lot more kids than usual.
Zoleka, who speaks Xhosa, had them all sit down (more than 50) while she
ministered to them and led them to the Lord. The kids were very
interested and need a lot of input! We had an amazing time!
15
While Zoleka ministered to the children, with the help of some of the
staff at the ECD/Kitchen, the rest of us went and ministered to the
adults. About 10 adults received the Lord that day. Praise the Lord!
16
The week before this approximately 20 people prayed with us. We seem to
have a wide open door of opportunity here. Please pray for the Lord to
further open the door so we can begin to help disciple these people and
help them get further established in the truth. We would appreciate
your prayers for the Lord to lead and guide us so we can take full
advantage of the opportunity,
17
GRACELIFE:
18
At our Gracelife church we are presently going through the book of
Ephesians. Here I was teaching from Ephesians 2 about our destitute
state before salvation and the immeasurable gift of salvation.
19
We had a time of laying hands on the sick. We not only prayed for their
physical ailments , but for the healing of broken hearts as well. Praise
the Lord for Jesus and the difference He makes. We were also very
encouraged to receive testimonies from several church members of how
they had encountered a needy person and had laid hands on them and seen
them healed. Praise the Lord!
20
During our times of prayer we are always encouraged to tune in to the
Lord and possibly receive a word of encouragement and or direction for
the body, or perhaps an individual. Here Philip is sharing such a word
he received during our united prayer time.
Again time and space fails to tell of the wonderful times we had
together i.e. on Fathers' Day we were able to treat all the fathers to a
nice chocolate treat and cappuccino. We also attended an all-campus
meeting with our Gracelife community, etc. In short it a a great
blessing to belong to a local church and if you are looking for one to
join we welcome you to join us. You can write us for more information!
LIFE-GROUPS:
21
Here we are with one of our LifeGroups. It is always such a source of
inspiration to meet up together. We presently have 3 LifeGroups, and we
believe the Lord has a lot more in store for us, Time is short and we
need to be equipped and help equip otherS for the days ahead.
22
Our LifeGroup in Nomzamo. Cari and Zoleka have joined us for our early
Monday morning classes, and for the outreach there. It is wonderful to
see the inspiration they have added. The staff at the ECD/kitchen have
also connected with them very well, and we are all working together to
make a difference and have an impact on the community there.
In closing we would like to thank each and everyone who is participating
in our ministry in one way or another. You are helping make it all
possible. More and more we are realizing the strength and fruitfulness
of working together as a team. Together we are bringing hope, love and a
better quality of life to many, not to mention the gift of everlasting
life! Praise the Lord! Thank you for being part of the team.
Much love and appreciation,
Philip and Rita
