PROJECT PHILIP - is our outreach to help feed the poor in South
Africa. Named after Dr. Philip Ray (his picture is below). He was a very
Godly Baptist minister who pastored in South Africa for many years. It was
reported that as a mere boy of 8, upon returning from school Philip
would go to his room for prayer before speaking to any member of the
family. He and his wife Peggy hosted Corrie Ten Boom in their home while
Corrie was recovering from a virus in South Africa. Both Peggy
and Philip were responsible for helping to get Christian TV in South
Africa through TBN, truly, a blessing from God. Another
great  sacrificial thing they
have done was to feed the poor, especially the elderly. By denying
themselves fancy banquets and eating out, they would send money to feed
the poor. Over the years, they sent a large amount of money to help feed
the hungry in South Africa. We want to give aide and help the poor more in
the future. Dr. Philip Ray and Peggy moved back to America some time ago,
and we became good friends. They have always encouraged me in the work of
South Africa. Dr. Ray went home to be with Jesus four weeks after my
daughter Anna was taken from me. We have decided to honor Philips life by
naming our program - PROJECT PHILIP.
We also want to help Rhema Bible Church's Hands Of Compassion ministry
who has 70 soup kitchens in South Africa. They are currently feeding
15,000 people on a weekly basis. South Africa has a high rate
of unemployment, and there are many hungry people. Matt 25:35
"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you
gave me drink." Let's all help where we can. Remember, Matt 25 is our
responsibility.
You can help sponsor a soup kitchen with any amount of funds. 100% of
those funds will go directly to purchase food in South Africa.
Also needed are bags of rice, beans, canned goods, and any dried soup
stock.

Special Needs to feed the Poor
15,000 small plastic containers are needed
for the soup kitchens. There are 70 of them. They need
containers for
the soup and or water. Please save your margarine or
butter
cups that are plastic. Does anyone have access to a
large
amount of them? And or any other containers?
