Kwa Mama Care Center

     Last week several ladies got together to help our friend, Liezel Essop, paint a local creche.The Kwa Mama Care Center is situated in Shaka's Head. At Kwa Mama they collect crumbs and create purpose on a daily basis.  Child care is provided free of charge to any child who lives in Shaka's Head. The center also provides opportunities for around 30 unemployed residents of this community. Each child gets feed two meals a day and have access to a library of knowledge for preschool and after school care.

This is the new look of Kwa Mama Care Center.

A few monkeys pitched up to paint. Bridget and I were two of them.

Liezel, the artist opening the the tools of creative expression.

Transformation has begun.

Lizzy's talent is admired by some of the kids.

Bridget is a flower painting extraordinaire.

Just look at those beautiful eyes.

I am told "that is not a heart, that is LOVE"

Now a welcoming place for everyone.

August 29, 2011

We have recently returned from an annual leadership meeting in the Cape Town area of South Africa. Many of these leaders speak Xhosa and are part of the second largest tribal grouping in the nation. It has been very gratifying to see the relationships among many different Christian churches grow in recent years. 

Pastor Mqokeleli Mntanga of Harvester in Mbekweni Township, SA Pastor Mntanga, or "Clock" as we know him, is a significant bridge among different fellowships in the Mbeqweni Township. This year our conference was hosted by four different fellowships rather than just one as in the past. It is great to report that this part of the Body of Christ is growing in their devotion to the person of Jesus.

This trip completed one of the busiest periods of ministry we have ever had. We've been to Capetown (twice), Brazil, Johannesburg, the Drakensburg Mountains, and Zimbabwe all in the course of the last three months. In each location the pastors and leaders we relate with are making Christ known throughout the communities they serve. Please pray for our plans to visit the USA in November/December. Blessings in Christ..............Rodney,Trina,Bridget
