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

who says that prayer doesn't work....

on saturday 26th febuary 2011 we had our first village of hope day of prayer, which we felt was a great success, we were able to cover the whole 24 hours with people praying for us from all around the world, which was amazing.

we were so encouraged to know that people had set aside time to raise us (the VoH team), the project and the people we work with, along with some wider issues on funding and support, up in prayer and we have really felt the benefit in the following ways.

a) amazing provision of unexpected funding which will enable us to come closer to covering our monthly costs and plan for future development.

b) increased opportunities to apply for additional regular monthly income.

c) break through in our children's health, development and social needs.

d) encouragement to expect our boundaries to be increased, to test God and see that he IS GOD and HE will provide for the increase of the project and those that we seek to serve.

these have all been a great encouragement to us and we would just ask for you to continue to lift up the village of hope as we see God move in our project and the lives of the children that live on both our project and those in the local community.
