James 1:27a(NIV)
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to
look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from
being polluted by the world.
It is our desire to do whatever we are able
using our gifts, qualification and preparation as well as financial
resources to help bring about
meaningful, lasting change. The vast need compels us to embark on
an extraordinary mission that may only be accomplished by God's
guidance, provision and enabling. We pray that you will come alongside us in
whatever way you see possible as you partner with us
on this journey of faith. |
The Need
South Africa is a land of extraordinary beauty. In addition to the many
varieties of wild life, it is a country which is rich in mineral wealth and agriculture.
Populated by a people as diverse, talented and enterprising as any modern nation in the
world it is a land of abundant opportunity.
In spite of the tremendous potential, the
obstacles in the way of true freedom seem insurmountable - the scars
of Apartheid, conflicting ideologies and philosophies, the
HIV/AIDS
epidemic, increasing poverty, crisis in education, violence and economic depression all add to
the increasing instability of the region.
There is a need for help in the area of
education and especially proactive assistance for the hundreds of
thousands of children orphaned by AIDS. Together with other caring
people it is
possible to restore an atmosphere of hope through actively engaging the
crisis through a revival of authentic and practical Christianity after the model that Jesus gave to us in Luke
4:18-19.
