Please continue praying with us on these requests:

• Funding for a 10 to 16 seater Bus (preferably Diesel) that would help us transport our children to and from school, as well as for the use of administration purposes. At present, some of our children are walking about 10km to and from school. We have raised 40% of the amount needed but please continue praying for the remaining 60%.
• Pray with us for financial support for the remaining stages on the house (Plumbing, flooring, ceiling and the doors)
• Please, pray for Natalie who is currently in Alabama USA on a mission for Kwathu Children’s Home. She will be meeting friends, Churches, organizations etc. under our partner Graceklein community.
• Continue praying for courage, faith and understanding that we can accomplish the goals we set for Kwathu and that the children can live, grow and mature in Gods daily goodness and loving kindness. We thank you all for your continued love and support towards Kwathu Children’s Home and may the Lord continue to bless you!Psalm 127:3 “Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord; the fruit of the womb is a reward.
