About me

Location	Cape Town
Introduction	“I will feed My flock, and I will make them lie down” says the Lord. “I will seek what is lost and bring back what was driven away, bind up the broken and strengthen what was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong and feed them in judgment.” (Ezek 34:15, 16) “… for I was hungry and you gave Me food, I was thirsty and you gave Me drink, I was a stranger and you took Me in, I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you visited Me, I was in prison and you came to Me.” (Matt 25:31-46) We want to minister to people in need with great compassion. The warnings in the particular chapters we see as beacons that the Lord has put on our path as shepherds to guide us. Our faith banner is Ps 127:1 “Unless the Lord builds the house, they labour in vain who build it. Unless the Lord guards the city, the watchmen stay awake in vain.” The Lord has further strengthened our faith with the following words: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” (Proverbs3: 5, 6)
Interests	To do something constructive for the youth is the one big challenge in Mitchell’s Plain. We focus strongly on the youth. Our youth ministry is known as “Youth With A Purpose (YWAP)” and the one for young adults as “Changing Lives Around You (CLAY)”. The name of the latter was chosen after meditating on Isaiah 64:8. “…You are our Father, we are the clay, and You our potter, and all we are the work of Your hand”. Our aim right now is to generate funds to bring about spiritual defensibility in Mitchell’s Plain. Spiritual defensibility encompasses: 1. To develop a multipurpose youth facility as there are no meaningful recreation facilities in Mitchell’s Plain. 2. To initiate an aftercare centre for scholars from Monday to Friday. 3. To organize educational tours for the youth. We are already busy taking children out of their environment and into nature through various excursions and hikes during school holidays. The children are so much more positive when they return from those excursions as they thoroughly enjoy and appreciate what we are doing for them. We will definitely focus more on this in future. The Western Cape has some of the most beautiful mountain ranges, nature reserves and hiking trails in the world. Our biggest needs are transport and financial assistance for this project. 4. We are currently busy helping to develop a soccer league. Our team’s name is GRACE UNITED!
