Blankets

Thank you so much for all the blankets that have been dropped off for Lindelani! Greytown has been freezing the last few weeks and the blankets have kept little toes an fingers warm!

Light

God has been so faithful (as he has a tendency of being :) ) In the past few weeks there have been a number of people who have given their hearts to Jesus. They are all people who have been receiving home based care. It is so encouraging to see how their lives have been touched, had how God has used the carers to demonstrate his love.
"No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light" Luke 7:16
I love this verse, and I've seen it so clearly in Lindelani. Those who have given their lives to Jesus shine so bright in the place of darkness. People are drawn to them.

Today I was so encouraged by a report that I received from the community. They were saying how the crime in Lindelani has decreased and I've seen over the past few month how the reports of abuse have diminished. Again when see how when light shines darkness is overpowered.

We serve an awesome God!

Philani

This is a picture of Philani that was taken yesterday. You can see Lindelani in the background on the right.

Princess

This is Princess, who is our newest member of staff.  She is a community worker and helps with the home based care and is a massive blessing to us! She has two children, Nokulunga (7) and Samkelo (4).

New Year

Philani creche and baby care has started full swing this year. We have been able to increase the number of babies we care for and now have 20 babies in the baby care and 40 children in the creche. The teachers and baby careres have their hands full!! :)

Philani concert

Yesterday we were treated to a concert done by the Philani children. The theme of the day was Zulu tribal wear meets nativity play. They danced and sang beautifully, even a fair share of rain didn't put a damper on the occasion!

Christmas concert

The children at Philani are practising for their end of year concert. The concert takes place on Sunday 12 December, 2Pm at Philani. All are invited to come and watch.
