the village of hope seeks to help children infected or affected by hiv, aids and tb in two different ways: we have a 9 bed children's unit to support those infected by hiv and aids and we also run a community-based sports and lifeskills outreach in the informal settlements and squatter camps each afternoon.

this blog has been set up to allow the key members of the team at the village of hope to share their thoughts, photos and experiences as we work in the community of grabouw in south africa

tim speaks at local church with bethesda kidz in support...

yesterday we had the pleasure of being invited to share at the corpus christi church in grabouw, this was an opportunity for tim to bring the word, it was the first time that he had spoken in an african chruch and thankfully he didn't have to share the message in afrikaans, and for the bethesda kidz to lead the worship...it was a great morning where we met a lot of the local supporters of the kids work and for them to see how we are working with these wonderful disadvantaged children in grabouw through our schools and sports outreach.
the 30 kids really performed well, bring dance and actions to the songs we sing at the thursday afternoon bible club, we place no expectations of these kids, many of whom come from the squatter camps around grabouw, but it was amazing and quite moving to see the passion each child has to do their best for God, so as a treat we all went to kfc for ice creams after church!
