Outreaches: 2010
Posted: Thu Feb 04, 2010 8:51 pm
We are through the first month of 2010 and already it feels as if we are needing another December break ... welll, at least some of us do.
So - Here is what is planned for 2010 outreaches.
Two Outreaches arranged by yours truly, although under the auspice of Dutch Reformed Church: Garsfontein [Pretoria]
[1] 7 May to 16 May ~10: 3-Tonnes Winter Warmth: Outreach to Ranyane & !Xanagas - Taking clothes to Ranyane and New-!Xanagas and Jesus Film Outreaches to the far -out Cattle ranches that can only be reached by 4x4.
[2] 14 - 28 August ~10: Soul Serving ( the follow up of Soul Searching) A very intensive outreach: Upliftment Outreach to Good House and investigating future viable & sustainable enterprise for this "thrown away" community.
The same for Sanddrift - and then of course, Jesus Film outreaches and follow-ups all the way to Alexander Bay. [For those who want to tackle (try?) "The Road to Hell" - This is your chance - because we are going right past it .. and of cause we will go through Richtersveldt and also get to see Namaqualand in her flower splendour]
Two [Maybe (possibly) three to the !Khomani San Bushmen of the Northern & Central Kalahari / Kgalakgadi. (It is arranged by ElardusPark congregation, I tag along and just do as I'm told - no planning or such BUT we do need a lot in terms of support.]
I am running out of means to carry on with all the outreaches. R4000 pension per month does not go a long way in today’s Sure I can sit back and do nothing and argue "I've done enough" - But my conscience won't let me, and also the Lord don’t want me too.
So - This year I am not just approaching you to also join hands and come along, I ask for your prayers and thoughts [and spreading this info (News?)] but also for financial aid for these outreaches.
If you can / will assist, Please P/M me or e-mail to Uncle(dot) Mac @ fourwheeler (dot) BIZ
And the of course - all those within reach of Pretoria - Please assist in collecting clothes for the outreaches. 3-Tonnes of clothing is a LOT to collect and alone I cannot.
(Ohhhh - there is one missing you say ?? ?Well, it basically comes down to go living with the Khomani Bushmen for ± 5-weeks [the duration of the Soccer World Cup] and do as much as we can [Details to follow on a seperate thread] My Irish Wish for you all:
May the Road rise to meet you,
May the Wind be at Your Back,
May the Sun shine warm upon your Face,
The rains fall softly upon your fields -
and until we meet (again):
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
If you wish to contact me but not here on the forum, please direct your e-mail to:
uncle.mac@fourwheeler.biz
But for now, our immediate need is the Botswana: Ranyane Outreach. We NEED 5-tonnes (Yes FIVE ) of clothing, and your thoughts and prayers and yes, any contribution you can make.
