Regional Updates

We have received the go-ahead to translate Season 1 of Superbook into isiZulu. We're excited to see the completion of this project and the fruits of Superbook reaching more people in our region! We were excited to learn that Meagan Taylor, our Partnerships and Sustainability Manager received the President's Award for her consistently excellent work during 2019.

Christmas wasn't a peacheful for many as a fire broke out in Capricorn, a township near our offices in Cape Town. The fire completely destroyed 26 homes. We were able to respond and provide assistance with 26 Hope Kits ( a bucket containing food, toiletries and other basics items for a small househol) and 26 clothing boxes (each box has clothes for a man, woman and children). The items were distributed through a partner organisation called Living Hope.

Disaster Relief was provided in the form of 200 x 25kg maize meal packets for 50 families in a church community in Zambia. The connection came through a community partner, City Hope, who do disaster relief throughout Southern Africa. Zambia is experiencing unprecedented drought, and the rural communities are no longer able to sustain themselves. This food will sustain them for about 2 months.

PRAISE REPORT: Prompted by Stu's testimony of complete restoration through Christ from drug addiction on social media, a mother called in to ask for prayer for her son who is addicted to drugs. Our prayer line volunteers prayed with her and she called us back to tell us that she is seeing a difference in her son.

A girl at one of our local Orphan's Promise projects watched a Superbook DVD and a DVD of Gordon Robertson. Through watching these DVD's, she accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Saviour!
