MAMA'S HOUSES ARE UP AND RUNNING!
GOD has raised up 2 MAMA'S homes for our orphanages so far and many more
coming! We have three more that we want to open. The first house has 7
children and
already up and running.
Pastor Anthony in Orange Farm has our 2nd MAMA'S home and has 7 more
children currently being housed and fed. We have 5 more children coming.
He has
many more homes that we will be opening up for orphans who need A MAMA'S
WARM,
LOVING CARE and MAMA'S who can COOK!
Our concept is not a LARGE building but rather separate MAMA'S HOMES. That
way the children are raised up in a family rather then isolated in over
run
empty buildings that are cold and sterile. We want WARM MAMA's HOMES WITH
LOTS
OF LOVE AND HUGS AND WARM FOOD AND SHELTER!
Doesn't that wonderful name MAMA have a WARM feeling that goes with it?
That is
exactly what we want!
We are going to need more BUNK BEDS...and the manager
of Furniture City in South Africa is helping me with that. Right now we
can get
our BUNK BEDS for each house for $300 including delivery (that is a good
price
in South Africa all furniture is expensive). This will provide permanent
bedding for the children for years to come. We have already placed 10
sents of
bunk beds into our houses. But more are desperetly needed.
We are going to need 10 more BUNK BEDS at $300 each total we need is
$3000. WOULD YOU OR YOUR CHURCH LIKE TO SPONSOR A SET OF BUNK BEDS FOR
$300?
What about your prayer group? or womans Bible Study? or Sunday School
class? This would give children who have lost their parents a comfortable
bed to sleep in and a warm place to
live.
We will also need sponsors for food for the children. Each house will
require $150 a month for food. So that is really cheap, and will provide
the children with 3 meals a day. WILL YOUR MISSIONS DEPT. ALLOW YOU TO
SEND $150 A MONTH TO HELP?
We are really excited that GOD has ENLARGED our vision as we continue to
reach out in SOUTH AFRICA!
Matthew 25 says:
35 For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a
drink. I
was a stranger, and you invited me into your home (MAMA'S HOME SBY
VERSION~SMILE).
36 I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for
me. I was in prison, and you visited me.
37 Then these righteous ones will reply, Lord, when did we ever see you
hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink?
38 Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing?
39 When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?・
40 And the King will say, I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of
the
least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it
to me!
~ON THE HOME FRONT~
in SOUTH AFRICA
Our House MAMA~ is also currently in need of a vehicle...it is about $6500
for
a good used one for her to use for the children as she has no way to
transport the children to and from school without one. So if anyone can
help please let us know. If 12 people or ministries
can sponsor $500 she could pay and fetch her vehicle or if someone wants
to
sponsor the total price of a good used one, she says, she can get one for
about 40,000 rand
$6500. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT TO HAVE A GOOD RUNNING VEHICLE IN AFRICA!
~~~~~~
A Pastor in South Africa, who has helped us so much, is in need of a new
lap top computer. He has nothing right now. If you can help PLEASE PICK
OUT THE LAP TOP YOU WOULD WANT TO GIVE AS A GIFT TO PASTOR and ship it to
our Pasadena, CA address and it will
be taken on airplane over to him. It must have wireless card access as he
has no landline in
Africa. Or you can send funds to help sponsor it!
Isn't it fun to be part of GOD'S TEAM reaching out in South Africa!!!
Everything that we do has to be sponsored in order for us to keep touching
lives
and hearts for JESUS in Africa. Thank you for your LOVE AND PRAYERS AND
SUPPORT!
