There is a sign as you come into Beaufort West that says: “Hands off our children”. Sex with children is a crime” 2 out of 7 children are affected with this kind of abuse.
Beaufort West – what a challenge! If I think back to the beginning of the year (2010) when I stood on the rubbish dump crying before the Lord as to what he wanted me to do and why He had me there without any means to help. Little did I know that He was working in the heart of a church in Kleinburg, Canada… Pierre Roux
Our goal is to help eradicate the existing problems of unemployment, material and spiritual poverty, substance, violence and child abuse, child neglect and help with the HIV/aids pandemic as well as help the elderly.
One of the things Nashville Road has successfully done in Beaufort West has been to expand the work of the Helping Hands Soup Kitchen. This project provides food to a large number of children, many of whom carry the deadly HIV virus. Without this food, these vulnerable children are unable to hold down their medication. Prior to our involvement in this project, the soup kitchen was unable to provide food for these children on a daily basis. Thanks to your generous giving to Nashville Road Community Church’s weekly offering, the children and parents are now fed on a daily basis. The happy consequence of this is that the children are not getting as sick as they used to and both they and their parents are hearing the life changing truths of the gospel that is presented to them by the soup kitchen.
There is much work being done in Beaufort West... stay tuned for further updates and how you can partner with NRCC to transform lives together in Beaufort West.
