For the poor families who live in houses made of wood, tin and plastic sheeting in the townships around Cape Town, life is a daily struggle.

But it’s a struggle that’s just got a whole lot worse! Torrential winter rains that fell earlier this month have ruined hundreds of homes … along with the meagre possessions of dozens of families.

But if you click here now, you can help them to rebuild their lives.

Can you imagine what it must be like going to sleep at night having hardly eaten, on a mattress on the floor of your icy cold shack – and then waking up to find your home and all your possessions under water?

If you can, please reach out right now to help.

I desperately want to help children, men and women in disaster-hit communities like Citrusdal, Klawer and Vredendal. And I’m hoping you will too!

Some warm blankets, mattresses, schoolbooks and supplies along with food parcels will go a long way towards easing the misery.

Please click here to help – because weather reports indicate more cold fronts are on the way – which means more rain and hardship for families who struggle to survive when times are ‘good’.

Remember – every gift helps – big or small. Thank you!

God bless

Yours in the service of Christ
