Phehella Children's home

We are blessed to have Grace and her children from Phehella Children's home here in Silverton were we can love and help from our door steps.

Phehella was started by Grace in 1993 in Mamelodi. She was an abandoned child herself and by God's hand started taking in abandoned and HIV kids.Currently she has 25 children in her care and they can really do with our help in many ways.

Food is always needed, so if you have anything to spare from sugar to meat please send me an e-mail for further arrangements. petravanderwalt@gmail.com. Any children's clothes from baby to 16 years.

Then also, coming up soon will be the christmas party and I am sure we will be throwing one at Phehella. You are welcome to donate clothes, toys or money. You can come wrap presents or join us at the party. I will keep the blog updated on this so watch this space while you let your imagination go.

Ladies Outreach the 9th of September

The 9th of September 09 we had our first Tea Outreach. This date was significant because nine has a prophetic meaning linked to "fullness" and "time for harvest".

Ladies in the Silverton Area were invited to come have some tea and cake for the opening of the Silverton Community House. The previous week, congregation members went around Silverton and placed beautifully made invitations into post boxes. From those invitations only one lady responded. So we went out on the street and invited the ladies we encountered.Louise and Lizzy made little booklet gifts with scripture. We gave it as presents with a rose to show the ladies that they are special to God. We sent with them a few extra booklets so that the Word can be distributed to their friends and family as well.

The ladies that came are all from different walks of life but have one thing in common. They all spoke of loneliness and isolation. We thank God for bringing them in. Three ladies will be joining us every Wednesday Morning for prayer and Bible Study. We pray that these meetings will bring each and every lady closer to Jesus and bring Jesus deeper into Silverton.
We want to thank the Morning Ladies Cell group of Silverton Congregation for being there, bringing treats and helping in various ways.

Craft Shop and tea garden

Since crafts are already running on the premises and we want to add to the craft set, a Craft shop will be ideal to generate a sustainable income. The handy work of trainees, creative church members and Silverton residence can be sold from here. A tea garden can serve as a social place to the congregation, a soul saving tool for the community and will bring more feet from outside to support the Craft shop.

Its a big job to turn a stoep into a craft shop so please come and help dig, move and pray as you feel led by the Holy Spirit. Watch this space!

Willing hands crafts at SCH

The crafts that are currently running at Silverton Community house is the paper crafts of Willing hands. With paper craft we don't just mean cards and books. The creative team even makes posts, lamp shades and artworks. New to the list of crafts are sleet moulds. We used to only cast the lamp bases with sleet. Now we have been given a whole range of sleet moulds. Everything from teddy bears, bath soap holders and loveble ducks are being made.

What Silverton Community house is about

441 Moreletta Street, Silverton PTA South Africa

Silverton Community House was made available to Hatfield Church to build the Kingdom of God by reaching out to the Silverton area. We are part of the household of God in the spiritual, living and working with The King. Likewise God has property in the physical where all His children can go to for various needs and a place where the prodigals can return to The Father’s House.

The house was placed in the care of Ps Fritz and Louise De Klerk, Hatfield Pastors of the Moot area. They have transformed the property into a Skills Development facility where people can be trained in a variety of crafts and skills. This year, together with Ps Rob Botha and the Silverton congregation, they hope to propel the premises into a self-sustaining business. Continuing with the existing skills development, they want to add teaching and service to it. With the help of a whole community giving their time, talents and skills to God, much more is possible and for God nothing is impossible. Living on the premises is the caretaker, Elfie and working with the paper crafts during the week is Lizzy.

The full vision for the Community house is to reach the women and children in and around Silverton who is currently secluded from the Kingdom and from God by poverty, isolation, or bondage. There is more need than what meets the eye and it is God’s heart to be the answer to the cries of the people. We as His body were ordained for His works before time. We hope to make an impact in the community big enough to bring glory to God.
