Krugersdorp Congregation Outreach Projects

By Barbara Corby

Members of the Gauteng (South Africa) churches contributed clothing, toys and food for distribution to the needy in Swaziland and all of the Gauteng church areas.

Some of these items were passed on to Sparrow’s Nest Ministries, which started in a small house in Roodepoort by Rev. Corine McClintock. It began with mothers bringing babies with HIV/AIDS to her doorstep. Today Corine has had her dream fulfilled by building the first village in South Africa for AIDS orphans. The village will house both adults and children. This dream was accompanied by a great deal of hard work, faith and prayer.

 Rev. McClintock and her staff were very appreciative of the blankets, clothing, toys and food given them. Two members of the Krugersdorp church have decided to continue helping Sparrows Nest Ministries as well as other organisations. Many church members who helped in the above project found it rewarding knowing that the adults and children would be warm during the coming winter.

The project for 2003 is Outbound Mission, an organisation which distributes food and clothing as far as Lesotho, to all needy people, both in churches and the underprivileged community.
