Reach out this Christmas!!



Giving it straight...

These are the children that only knows one type of Christmas... “ When the lady of the church comes with gifts and sweets and tells us stories and do fun stuff.”

These are the mom’s that have no food for their Christmas table if the food truck does not come by their homes on Christmas Eve...

Hadassah Ministries runs two outreaches over the Christmas period and is collecting donations for these outreaches. Our goal is to collect R100 per child for each one of the 260 children that are listed on the weekly feeding scheme. Die R100 covers gifts, food for child and parents, decoration and entertainment. The Christmas Eve outreach is dependant on adequate donations and funds.
The Children’s Christmas Party will be held at NG Church Booysens.
Sponsor a child or start a team effort at work, cell or between friends. If you are more hands-on, come join us at the outreach. Feel free to contact us: Louise (012) 331-4032, Petra 083 655 9984

Progress at the house



As the year is rushing to an end, I am relieved to say that we have made progress at Silverton house. First off we are almost done with our crafts catalogue and the website is being finalized this week. I will add the link soon as all is approved so keep us in mind for your christmas card and box shopping!


We have also opened a salon at the house, manned by Anne-Marie, a hair stylist from the Moot area with many years of experience. Her heart is mainly to be a service to the ladies of the Silverton area but I love going to her because she combs in your hi lights pain free and you can add two colors at once for a very reasonable price!!
The room still looks very modest so any interior decorating donations are welcome ;)

The prayer room is slowly but surely getting a face-lift. We have a beautiful new carpet and two classic windows still to be installed. We are still trusting for some ceiling material and a light colored paint for the inside. I'm sure some of you have some ceiling to spare, right? Once you see the carpet and the windows you will have faith too! We where honored to have all the Pastors and dominees of Silverton-Meyerspark area at the house on the 12th of November for community prayer. Thank you all for sharing in our vision and love for our area.

The gift shop is now on floor level... we threw new concrete to even out all the years of las-lappie flooring on the outside of the house. I have some amazing before-and-after photo's on the way in the new year. In the mean time come visit us to see our cards, gift boxes and hand made lamps. Or just come throw yourself down on the royal blue carpet for some He-time!
