These coming years my homebase will be South-Africa. Here I will be assisting as a volunteer.
In 2018 i started volunteering at the Joshua Project. The Joshua Project focuses on vulnerable children in the ages between 6-18 years. I will be particularly involved with children who live on the streets and on/from the garbage belts of Humansdorp where I will be assisting in setting up and developing Joshua Project in Humansdorp close to Jeffreys Bay.
How will I do this? With my personal relationship with Jesus as foundation, I can start building relationships with these young people and show and teach them who He wants to be in their lives.
I will do that by meeting them and start connecting at where they are. This will be on the street, at a home, in a prison, a brothel or right there at the garbage belts.By coming to them, at the place where they are in life, I hope to make God’s love visible by loving them and being there for them.
I also will be assisting with daily operational tasks of nurturing, care, education and skills development of these young people. I will be assisting the social workers as well with general group work, home visits and therapy sessions with both groups as individuals.
By investing my life in them, I want to show them how valuable they are and seeing their lives being transformed into saved, healthy and self-sufficient adults. Isn’t that what we want for all children?
As their lives are being transformed mine will be transformed as well.
