Our mission is to bring Christ Centered Community Upliftment and Workship to Vrygrond in the Western Cape
Location
Situated in Vrygrond, an informal settlement (shack dwellings) near Muizenburg in the Cape, situated on 15 square KM with a population of almost 40000 people. The high density of the population and lack of good municipal services makes this is very dangerous area with high unemployment and substance abuse. Many of the residents are foreign nationals, many of whom are refugees.
Most of those that work earn low incomes. Hunger and frustration lead to all kinds of abuses. This is a volatile area, which has experienced some civil unrest (protest action with violence and destruction of property). The community and police have clashed.
History
Moses came to South Africa as a missionary from the Democratic Republic of Congo. He came to plant a church and to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. He has always had a great love for children, so it was a natural progression to move to children’s ministry.
He was not prepared for the overwhelming poverty but had to adapt quickly. He soon realized that this ministry would have to include community work, which became his biggest focus. Most is a fiery African preacher, with lots of love. You cant help liking him.
