House of Refuge for Refugees...

It's a new dream. One cooked up God and a local hero from Zimbabwe...

THE DREAM: PURCHASE A SAFE & SECURE PROPERTY
​IN MASIPHUMELELE FOR REFUGEE MOMS AND KIDS

THE NEED: $40,000 US dollars (the 1st $20,000 is pledged!)

Thousands of African refugees came to Cape Town hoping for a better life only to find themselves living in inhumane conditions in the wetlands of Masiphumelele (Masi). Picture tin shacks with dirt floors which turn into mud when it rains. No plumbing. Fire destroys hundreds of shacks every few months and these brave people lose everything. The mothers and children are especially vulnerable as South Africa's violence against women is the highest in the world for nation that is not at war. Refugees are routinely overcharged for rent, even in conditions like these.

After 16 years of working in Masi, the Lord has led us to respond by building Houses of Refuge for the most vulnerable refugee families! With our African partners, we are dreaming of building a property that will offer safety from crime and fire. A place where the Gospel of Love is shared freely with marginalized refugees who are often single moms with kids. A place where prayer and trauma counseling are offered by our African-led team. A safe haven where violence won't be tolerated. The estimated cost to purchase our first property is $60,000. We have already raised $20K! So only $40k is needed to get started. If God stirred your heart, considering praying about being a partner with us in making this goodness happen.
