Our
passion is
to change the world through empowering people to develop a personal
relationship with God, and in turn, to change their part of the
world. We seek to provide a supportive and energizing environment for
personal spiritual growth, for sharing the good news of God’s love
and salvation, and for the application of Christian ethics and values
to everyday life. To translate God’s love into action in a way that
brings a touch of the divine to someone’s spirit, and leads people
to the discovery of a personal relationship with Jesus.
Humanitarian
Assistance:
Enhancing the quality of life of the disadvantaged, displaced, and
those without hope. We do this through not only ministering to them
spiritually, but also seeking to meet their physical needs such as
food, clothing, personal hygiene supplies.
Spiritual
Development:
Providing spiritual and emotional support to all in need. We provide
assistance for people’s spiritual development through means such as
Bible based teaching, personal counseling, support groups, and
further encouragement in times of distress or hardship, especially
through prayer. We are also engaged in a variety of educational and
character-building programs for children.
Soup
Kitchen
James
2:15 and 16
- If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and
one of you says to them, "depart in peace, be warmed and
filled", but you do not give them the things which are needed
for the body, what does it profit?
Being
motivated by this call we first started working in Sir
Lowry’s Pass Village
by assisting the obviously needy kitchen in any way we could. We
started getting meat soup bones, mince, boerewors, fruits and
veggies, peanut butter, jam, rice, flour, millie meal, sugar, etc.,
etc. The kitchen is geared to assist the most needy and downtrodden
of the village and although the number of people seeking the aid may
vary it is approx. 350 people that depend upon it. We were also
instrumental in starting a sandwich project for approx. 100 high
school students attending the Gordon’s
High School.
These projects are still running and although it may appear as if
they are well covered there are still many lacks and we
would like to encourage you to be a part.
With
Christmas fast approaching we are now faced with the challenge of
bringing some Christmas cheer to this impoverished community. We
would like to set before them a nice Christmas meal. For this we will
need:
10
boxes of quarter leg chicken
30
kg mince
20
kg rice or 30 kg pasta
Red
and green veggies
100
ltr. Juice
Desert,
etc.
This
year there are about 10 fulltime volunteers at the soup kitchen.
These women work long hours for little or no pay. For Christmas we
would like to be able to offer them a nice food hamper for them and
their families. Almost anything would be welcome for this purpose.
Some suggestions are:
I
whole chicken per family
2-3
kg of either: rice, pasta or potatoes
Canned
goods
Sugar
Millie
meal
Cooking
oil
Margarine
Fruits
and veggies
Tea
and coffee
Etc,
etc.
Besides
the volunteers there are approx. 15-20 sick and elderly that we would
like to offer a hamper to as well, consisting of some of the same
items as listed above.
If
you would like to help you can either do so via donations (you can
specify how you would want it used), or you can already start
contributing with non perishable foods that we will set aside for
this purpose. All donors will receive a special picture page of the
event and distribution of the hampers. We will also highlight your
name and business in our January newsletter, should you so desire.
Lathi-Tha
is located in Sir Lowry’s Pass. We have assisted this Daycare for
the past 2 years or so, from before they got registered. Besides
helping with food and other necessities, we got a company to repaint
the place inside and out.
Sunshine
Kids: We
only recently started helping this Day Care as well. As above we
brought some food and daily necessities as well as toys. With time we
will see how to get more involved.
Mila’s
Angels is a
day-care that opened fairly recently. When we first visited they were
so poor that they had no furniture of any kind and barely managed to
feed the children. With the Lord’s help we were able to get tables,
and chairs as well as a nice big toy chest for them. We regularly
assist with food and other necessities as well.
Emily’s
Soup Kitchen
is are among one of the largest day-care centres in the Sir Lowry's
Pass Village. This was initially just a soup Kitchen for children,
ensuring that they all would get one warm meal a day. It has since
developed into a day-care and they are in the process of getting
registered as well.
