MINISTRY UPDATES

  • Kingdom Sports Ministry having our annual year end camp 13-15 December 2019, at Zonekus Holiday resort. We would like to take all 50 kids to camp. 
    • ​We have the camp merely to show appreciation to the kids for their commitment throughout the year to wanting to change their way of life through our sports and life skills program we offer throughout the year for a better future amidst the daily challenges in communities.
    • The Year 2019 – Our Ocean View community kids started 2019 with much fun and freedom up until June holidays. Our community then sadly went into turmoil to a point where we couldn’t reach out to kids physically due to the area not been safe! We are thankful for technology because we could connect with kids via social media. We had a really tough year working with the kids, and it tested us and kids many times, daily & weekly to persevere despite harsh conditions. These kids & the youth leaders deserve a break!
    • For this reason, KSM is seeking funding to be able to send all 50 children to camp. $30 will pay for one child's ticket to camp. We are also seeking funding to pay for food, activities and transportation to and from the camp.
    • The payment deadline is 11/20/19
    • Kids will enjoy camp activities: swimming, obstacle courses, rope climbing, spike ball & life skills sessions.
      We challenge you to adopt a child by sponsoring him/her $30 for their annual end of year kids’ camp.
      Due date is 30 November for the 50 kids & 5 youth leaders to turn in camp finance.
    • THANK YOU: The kids thank you in advance for helping them to just have fun for a moment
      & just be a kid again. This Camp is made possible through kind support & donations & tax deductible.
  • Currently involved with individually mentoring and coaching nine men. One in each province/state in South Africa.
  • Then I am involved with 6 other advisees/churches in six different countries in Africa.
